The teachers should be trained so as to encourage the students to engage in mathematics which is a world of mental abstraction, logical precision, and proof and creative thinking. The students are offered courses designed to help the acquisition of teaching skills ranging from the basics of mathematics to the more developed ones such as algebra, geometry and statistics . The specific methodologies necessary for the teaching of mathematics are taught through practice teaching, observation, role playing, group activities, seminars and lectures.
Assessment is through practice teaching, course work and examinations.
Since there is a continuing shortage of suitably trained qualified teachers career prospects are rich. Further Studies There are MA and PhD programmes in the Division.
