The obsession with numbers has destroyed the spirit of mathematics.Mathematics is essentially a study of the universal principles of existence.Harmony,beauty,simplicity and relativity are vital components of mathematics..
Today the study of mathematics is only intended for sustaing the 'use and throw'culture everywhere. No wonder children find mathematics boring and a drudgery-better avoided.A fragmented approach is in fact the anti-thesis of mathematics.
To make mathematics more interesting to children,the teacher should show the students objects of different shapes and colours thereby stimulating their imagination and creativity..Mathematics has to be related to every aspect of life to make it meaningful.
Instead of teaching children to regulate their life by the clock,they should be able to live in accordance with the environment.A bio-rhythm friendly life will be both spiritually and physically more rewarding.
Mathematics can be related to aesthetics by teaching the children the principles of ergonomics-the science of design.A voice enabled software is the next big thing on the cards and the basic concepts can be included in every school curriculum.Space-time continuum can also be a part of the syllabus.
