HOME WORK

School time is not sufficient to satisfy the curriculum of mathematics. There should be given some work to the pupil to provide practice after school is called as home work. The home work supplements class room teaching. It should be done by the pupil at home on his own. Now a day it is necessary and more important. Some educationalists are not agreed with the concept of home work. They feel that. It is an extra burden on the child in the learning process.

POINTS TO BE BARE IN MIND FOR A SUCCESSFUL HOME WORK: -


1. Home work should be well graded.
2. Its nature and amount must be determined by the individual.
3. It should not be considered as punishment.
4. While giving home work individual differences must be kept in the mind of the teacher.
5. It should not be given in the state of disturbed mind.
6. Home work time table must be prepared well in advance.
7. It should be duly checked and corrected.
8. It may be taken for annual assessment also.


Checking and correction of home work is essential. It is expected to be a routine work done by the teacher. If it is unchecked, it does not fulfill its purpose. Thorough and regular checking is almost not possible, especially when a teacher concerned with two or more sections of students every day.
