Throughout the project work, I have leant how to apply Mathematics in our daily lives.
Mathematics is the gate and key of the Science. It gives an insight into the power of human
mind and cause human’s lives more convenient. Mathematics equips us with uniquely
powerful ways to describe, analyse and change the world. It can let us able to think
independently in abstract ways, solving problems and assessing risks. For example, we can
use the arithmetic progression to count the number of spoons of sugar we require for our
drinks or compare the prices of shirts that we contemplate to buy. Therefore, we cannot deny
tht Mathematics plays an important role in our lives.

Besides that, I have also learnt that the ability to manage and organise my time in a proficient
manner. I should always finish my tasks on time according to the schedule. However, I did
not manage our time wisely which cost us a heavy workload at the end of this project. In
addition, we should have the ability to be brave to try the creative ways to solve the problems
that we have not experienced it before. Because of this ability, it can let us exile forward and
bring upon a constant learning environment to us.

However, I managed to finish the project work on time. In the next project, we will manage
our time well and will avoid all the mistakes that I had done in before in order to produce a
good and high quality project.
it gives an insight into the power of human mind, so this forms a very valuable discipline of
teaching-learning programmes of school subjects everywhere in the world of curious children.

Mathematical thinking is important for all members of a modern society as a habit of mind for its use in the
workplace, business and finance; and for personal decision-making. Mathematics is fundamental to national
prosperity in providing tools for understanding science, engineering, technology and economics. It is essential in
public decision-making and for participation in the knowledge economy.
Mathematics equips pupils with uniquely powerful ways to describe, analyse and change the world. It can
stimulate moments of pleasure and wonder for all pupils when they solve a problem for the first time, discover a
more elegant solution, or notice hidden connections. Pupils who are functional in mathematics and financially
capable are able to think independently in applied and abstract ways, and can reason, solve problems and
assess risk.
Mathematics is a creative discipline. The language of mathematics is international. The subject transcends
cultural boundaries and its importance is universally recognised. Mathematics has developed over time as a
means of solving problems and also for its own sake.

It is said that Mathematics is the gate and key of the Science. According to the famous
Philosopher Kant, "A Science is exact only in so far as it employs Mathematics". So, all scientific
education which does not commence with Mathematics is said to be defective at its foundation.
Neglect of mathematics works injury to all knowledge.

One who is ignorant of mathematics cannot know other things of the World. Again, what is worse,
who are thus ignorant are unable to perceive their own ignorance and do not seek any remedy. So
Kant says, "A natural Science is a Science in so far as it is mathematical". And Mathematics has
played a very important role in building up modern Civilization by perfecting all Science.

In this modern age of Science and Technology, emphasis is given on Science such as Physics,
Chemistry, Biology, Medicine and Engineering. Mathematics, which is a Science by any criterion,
also is an efficient and necessary tool being employed by all these Sciences. As a matter of fact, all
these Sciences progress only with the aid of Mathematics. So it is aptly remarked, "Mathematics
is a Science of all Sciences and art of all arts."

Mathematics is a creation of human mind concerned chiefly with ideas, processes and reasoning.
It is much more than Arithmetic, more than Algebra more than Geometry. Also it is much more
than Trigonometry, Statistics, and Calculus.

Mathematics includes all of them. Primarily mathematics is a way of thinking, a way of

organizing a logical proof. As a way reasoning, it gives an insight into the power of human mind,
so this forms a very valuable discipline of teaching-learning programmes of school subjects
everywhere in the world of curious children. So the pedagogy of Mathematics should very
carefully be built in different levels of school education.

In the pedagogical study of mathematics we mainly concern ourselves with two things; the
manner in which the subject matter is arranged or the method the way in which it is presented to
the pupils or the mode of presentation. Mathematics is intimately connected with everyday life
and necessary to successful conduct of affairs. It is an instrument of education found to be in
conformity with the needs of human mind.
Teaching of mathematics has its aims and objectives to be incorporated in the school curricula. If
and when Mathematics is removed, the back-bone of our material civilization would collapse. So
is the importance of Mathematics and its pedagogic.
