Format of Action Research in Mathematics

  ACTION RESEARCH Title Of Problem: Students are unable to perform mathematical operations on Rational Numbers. Delimiting the Problem: 08 students are unable to perform mathematical operations on rational numbers. Specific Form Of Problem: Unable to perform mathematical operations on rational numbers. Background of the Problem: During my internship in (SCHOOL NAME), while teaching I observed that 08 students of class 8 th are unable to perform mathematical operations on rational numbers in mathematics period. Objectives of Proposed Research under the Scheme: To know the cause of students inability to perform mathematical operations on rational numbers To know whether students have basic knowledge of mathematics operations. To know whether students have basic knowledge of numbers and their types To encourage students to pay more attention in the mathematics period. To develop students interest in mathematics by the use of teaching aids. Importance of Resear
