Item A note on the importance of teaching concepts in mathematics(Apr. 1973) Shah, Sair Ali;This article illustrates the importance of teaching mathematical concepts in primary school and not concentrating purely on mechanical workItem A suggested syllabus in mathematics for primary schools (Age range: Five years to eleven plus years)(Institute of Education, UWI, 1967) Shah, Sair Ali;Item An experiment: Reactions of some children age 7-9 plus years, to certain aspects of `number systems' which were taught using some psychological principles(Institute of Education, UWI, 1968) Shah, Sair Ali;To study the application of five psychological principles to the teaching of number systems, 10 student teachers conducted a series of lessons on number systems, with 354 7- to 9-year-old pupils, over a period of three weeks. A 40-item objective test was administered to pupils to determine their reactions towards the content discussed. It is concluded that attainment was of a reasonable levelItem An experiment: Reactions of some children age range 7-11 years, to certain aspects of `Modern Geometry'(Institute of Education, UWI, 1967) Shah, Sair Ali;Eleven student teachers attending a teachers' college in Trinidad, tried a series of lessons on "Modern Geometry" with their practising class during three weeks of their teaching practice session. The reactions of a sample of children were obtained through an objective test that was standardized with the same sample.
