Abstract

This paper describes the results of a research study focusing quality improvement in mathematics education and promotion with the use of mathematics laboratory. The primary purpose was to assess the perception of teachers regarding the teaching method through activities and the subsequent need for the mathematics laboratory in schools. This experience has been advocated by the authors to modify the teaching style in mathematics teaching and to identify equipment and materials for mathematics laboratories to provide a more effective teaching learning environment through the Science Education Project-II in Pakistan.
