Some Innovations in Teaching of Mathematics (At Under Graduate Level)

Presently, science educational approaches have resulted in a mismatch between what is taught to the students and what a student really needs. As such, many institutions are moving towards problem-based learning as a solution to produce students who are creative, can think critically, analytically and are able to solve problems. As Mathematics is one of the pillars of Basic Sciences, one of the solutions is to remove the mathematics phobia that has been cribbing into the minds of the students. In this paper, we focus on the problems, objectives, needs and on the innovative methods of teaching and attracting students to this subject. Some pedagogic tools with which a teacher should be equipped have been mentioned. A brief survey of the number of students, of some colleges in the state, opting for this subject has been done and highlighted in this paper.
