Pathfinder for Olympiad MATHEMATICS

Description

“For another hundred years, School will teach children ‘to do’ rather than ‘to think’” observed Bertrand Russell. This statement is still seen to be true without being even remotely contradicted.
NCF 2005 (National Curriculum Framework) provides a vision for perspective planning of school education in scholastic and non-scholastic domains. It also emphasizes on ‘mathematization’ of the child’s thought and processes by recognizing mathematics as an integral part of development of the human potential. The higher aim of teaching mathematics is to enhance the ability to visualize, logically understand, build arguments, prove statements and in a sense, handle abstraction. For motivated and talented students, there is a need to widen the horizon as these students love challenges and always look beyond the curriculum at school.
