EMOTIONAL BLOCK AND COMPUTATION ABILITY AMONG MATHEMATICS STUDENTS AT SECONDARY LEVEL

S. Bharathi, Dr. Ar. Saravanakumar

Abstract :

Mathematics, which involves the study of quantities as expressed in numbers or symbols, comprises a variety of related anches. In elementary school, for example, mathematics is conceptualized in strands such as concepts, numeration, measurement, arithmetic, algorithmic computation, and problem solving. In high school, curriculum offerings include algea, geometry, trigonometry, and calculus. Little is understood, however, about how different aspects of mathematical cognition relate to one another (i.e., which aspects of performance are shared or distinct, or how difficulty in one domain corresponds with difficulty in another). Such understanding would provide theoretical insight into the nature of mathematics competence and practical guidance about the identification and treatment of mathematics difficulties. The present paper deals with the emotional block and computation ability of the secondary schools which influence the academic achievement of mathematics in school environment.
