 FORE WORD
Mathematics is a part of every child's daily life. A child who is helping her parents in the kitchen or
in the field or is even playing with her friends is constantly engaging with mathematical problems
of various types. So, far from knowing 'no mathematics' a child who starts coming to school brings
with herself a variety of experiences about numbers and space, often much richer than any one of
us appreciate.
Children also have immense potential to learn and more importantly all children are capable of
learning mathematics. Their curiosity about the world and the need to understand it complements
their capability. Children's innate abilities for mathematics such as those for classification, matching,
estimation, analysis, mapping, generalization etc., along with their experiences of quantity and
space are aids to classroom teaching which all of us as teachers should utilize during classroom
time.
It is also important to appreciate that while Mathematics learns from human experiences, its growth
and progression is not dependent on them; what it relies on is the logic and creativity of the human
mind. So, the goal of mathematics teaching goes beyond developing 'useful' numeracy capabilities
and the ability to reason mathematically and handle abstraction are central to mathematics learning.
Mathematics learning also should not be equated to learning only numbers and spatial
visualizations, patterns etc., are an integral part of mathematical knowledge that children should
be asked to engage with.
The aforesaid vision of mathematics teaching presented in Andhra Pradesh State Curriculum
Framework (APSCF)-2011 has been elaborated in its Mathematics Position Paper which also
clearly lays down the Academic Standards of mathematics teaching in the State. The textbooks
make an attempt to concretize all these sentiments in these documents.
Concepts are placed in meaningful contexts and they are also arrived at by observing patterns,
and providing children opportunities to state them in their own words. Use of definitions and
irrelevant terminology has been avoided. Multiple ways in which children can solve a problem are
encouraged and various attempts have also been made to help children understand the algorithm
than engage with it mechanically. Problem posing is an important part of math and children have
been encouraged create a variety of problems. Space has been provided for both individual work
and collaborative learning. Pictures have been used thoughtfully to both aid concept building and
also act as fillers to encourage ideas such as collaborative learning. The book is designed in
colour to add to a child's interest.
The State Council for Education, Research and Training, Andhra Pradesh appreciates the hard
work of the textbook development committee. Several teachers from all over Andhra Pradesh have
contributed to the development of this textbook. We are grateful to the district education officers,
mandal education officers and head teachers for making this possible. We also thank the institutions
and organizations which have given their time in the development of this textbook. We are grateful
to the office of the Commissioner Director- School Education for extending its co-operation in
developing this textbook. In the endeavor to continuously improve the quality of our work, we
welcome your comments and suggestions on this book.
