Mathematics is a core subject in new educational system in Brunei Darussalam (SPN 21). All pupils must be good in their Mathematics subject but still we found that not all pupils do very well in this subject and even like the subject. In my opinion these are the caused of how 'Maths' was taught.
The new educational system (SPN 21) encourage on student centered learning. This is how Mathematics should be taught with proper and suitable facilities so that teaching and learning is not a boring session for the day.
For example teachers should prepare suitable concrete materials so that the pupils learn by exploring the materials and understand the concept of what they had learned. Not only that, teachers should let their pupils to learn in pairs or groups. In this situation, the pupils will learn to discuss with their friends and bring out ideas and then explain their finding to the class. Teachers also encourage to give activities to the pupils so that the pupils enjoy learning and gain their own knowledge.
The use of ICT in teaching of Mathematics also can make the lesson fun. Some pupils are looking forward to use computers. In this case teachers can give interactive activities to the pupils. This will motivate the pupils more in learning Mathematics in enjoyable way. There are many educational websites in maths and science that can be used by the teacher.
