2. According to the Sri Lankan education system mathematics is compulsory subject. But achievement level of mathematics is very low. Introduction

3. Academic achievements of the student do not improved Low quality of maths lesson Lack of Interest in students to learn maths Teacher’s Guides not systematically structured Teaching methods are not learner centered Less opportunities to upgrade teaching skills Lack of time to teachers for lesson preparation Insufficient monitoring procedure in the system Teachers not close to students Students have more other activities at home Problem Tree

4. Academic achievements of the student are improved High quality of maths lesson Students have i nterest to learn maths Teacher’s Guides are systematically structured Learner centered teaching methods Teachers have opportunities to upgrade teaching skills Adequate time to teachers for lesson preparation Adoption of monitoring procedure in the system Good relationship between teachers and students Students can study at home Objectives Tree

5. Overall GoalDevelopment of Mathematics Education Project PurposeIntroduce Lessons Study Method in our School System For Output 1 Applying mathematical thinking method to modify Teachers Guide Creating close Relationship Between Students and Teacher For Output 2 Applying Lesson Study Method Enjoyable Environment to study Mathematics Project Design Tree

6. Activity for Output1: Develop the teachers Guide according to the Lesson study method Activities for Output3: Pilot program for 45 schools Activities for Output2: Training Program for 1.Teachers 2.Recourse persons 3. Mathematics officers Output1: Teacher guides Output2: Learner centered Teaching method Output3: 45 schools Project Purpose: Introduces lesson Study methods in Our school system Overall Goal: Development of Mathematics education Project Title: Implement of lesson study Project Period: Nov:2008-Nov:2009 Project Site : 45 pilot schools Target Group: Grade 6
