Abstract

In order to meet the demands of the curriculum and the needs of 21st century mathematics learners, it becomes necessary for mathematics teachers to have innovation in classrooms and innovative teaching and learning resources with them. Though most mathematics teachers are equipped with good content knowledge, innovation is needed in their pedagogical planning and in their methodology of teaching. Resources in terms of the best curriculum texts, reference books, etc. are available for teachers, but there is a need for the development of innovative teaching and learning practises and strategies to enhance and enrich the teaching and learning happening in mathematics classrooms. This paper highlights the importance of one such innovative teaching and learning method called experiential learning for the present century’s mathematics teachers and the importance of employing innovative practises in mathematics classrooms.
