Objectives The broad objectives of teaching of Mathematics at secondary stage are to help the learners to:  consolidate the Mathematical knowledge and skills acquired at the upper primary stage;

  acquire knowledge and understanding, particularly by way of motivation and visualization, of basic concepts, terms, principles and symbols and underlying processes and skills;

  develop mastery of basic algebraic skills;  develop drawing skills;

  feel the flow of reason while proving a result or solving a problem;

  apply the knowledge and skills acquired to solve problems and wherever possible, by more than one method;

  to develop ability to think, analyze and articulate logically;

  to develop awareness of the need for national integration, protection of environment, observance of small family norms, removal of social barriers, elimination of gender biases;

  to develop necessary skills to work with modern technological devices and mathematical software's.

  to develop interest in mathematics as a problem-solving tool in various fields for its beautiful structures and patterns, etc.

  to develop reverence and respect towards great Mathematicians for their contributions to the field of Mathematics;

  to develop interest in the subject by participating in related competitions;

  to acquaint students with different aspects of Mathematics used in daily life;

  to develop an interest in students to study Mathematics as a discipline.
