Mathematics being a tool subjects, becomes one of the most important subject in primary, secondary, and tertiary curriculum. It is perceived that if a student is poor in mathematics, he would be poor in all critical analysis and logical reasoning. Numerical ability equips the students with a uniquely powerful set of tools to understand and change the world. These tools include logical reasoning, problem-solving skills, and the ability to think in abstract ways.
