Performance of Geometry among the Secondary School Students of Bhurbandha CD Block of Morigaon District, Assam, India

The aim of the paper is to examine the geometrical performance, gender wise variation in learning geometry of the students of secondary level and their learning environment. The data is collected from some selected schools of Bhurbanhda CD Block of Morigaon district of Assam. To know the performance in geometry and the problems faced by the students to understand the geometry, a test was taken and a question paper of 25 marks and scheduled questionnaire was prepared. Also a discussion was conducted with the teachers to find out the problems of the students in learning mathematics when it is connected to geometry. To analyze the data, simple statistical method is used. After the study it is found that the fundamental knowledge in geometry is very poor among most of students in secondary level. As it is observed in most of the cases students have great difficulty in geometry part of their mathematics curriculum. So it is very important to improve performance in geometry to improve mathematics as a whole. To improve the knowledge of geometry among the students, government should think of it as a matter of urgency, send mathematics teachers for training and seminars for effective teaching and learning.
