Abstract
This paper presents a research conducted for need
assessment and development of an interactive CD for Mathematics
teaching at Grade 3. The study was comprised of two stages. Need
assessment was the first stage, in which a questionnaire was formulated
to understand the problems faced by teachers during the teaching and
learning process of mathematics and to analyze the need of teaching
mathematics through computer. Data was collected from 30 Math
teachers - 15 from public and 15 from private sector schools, who use
Punjab Text Book for Math teaching at Grade 3). The second stage of
study was the development of interactive CD using different graphic
softwares. The CD contains the concepts like place value, roman
numbers, even and odd numbers, fractions, addition, subtraction,
multiplication, division and money. Development of CD-I is the one
step to make teachers able to build such teaching material, which is in
accordance with their own classroom needs. It is recommended that
traditional method of teaching should be upgraded with integrating
cutting edge technology of computer, and teacher training programs
should include computer education. Through inservice training
programs, teachers should be equipped with computer skills.
