Course Description:
The course trains perspective mathematics teachers to develop visual aids, manipulative materials and models with accompanying activity sheets that will
aid students understanding of abstract and difficult concepts in mathematics and make the study of the subjects more appealing to the students. It will enable them
to improvise instructional devices using available low cost materials.
