Goals are not only absolutely necessary to motivate us. They are essential to really keep us alive. Robert H. Schuller

GOALS 1:Short term goals 2:Long term goals

1:To increase students interest in Maths 2:To increase their mental Maths skills 3:Invoke the critical thinking process in students 4:Create such a classroom environment that students feel free to ask question (student centered classroom) Long term goals

1:Providing the students easy mathematical vocabulary for grasping of the concepts. 2:Relate the topic to daily life for more clarification. Short term goals

Crystallize your goals. Make a plan for achieving them and set yourself a deadline. Then, with supreme confidence, determination and disregard for obstacles and other people’s criticisms, carry out your plan. Paul Meyer

ChallengesSolutions The students may not take interest in Maths. I will provide them games worksheets,Math's challenges and will reward them on solution. Parents may not understand my method. I will use my word processing skill and will send them newsletter. Some students may be not work up to the class level (behavior problem,slow learner). I will make a seating arrangement chart and will provide to other subjects teachers of my class.
