Mathematics is both ubiquitous and universal. It is all around us, in nature, in technology, and in the motion of the Earth, Sun, Moon and stars above. There is mathematics in everything that we do and see, from shopping and cooking to throwing a ball and playing games, to solar eclipses and climate patterns. Mathematics and numeracy thus give us the fundamental ideas and tools required to think about the world around us and the world beyond us. But most of all, when taught well, mathematics is truly enjoyable and can become a lifetime passion. The goal of this book is indeed to bring to life these aspects of mathematics.  Targeting Mathematics follows the five-step learning process called Panchpadi as laid out in the NCF-FS 2022 and NCFSE 2023.
