Most of the items that we mostly see and use in our environment are composed of geometrical shapes and objects. Utilizing these objects and shapes     efficiently depends on understanding the relations among them. We also make use of geometrical thoughts in solving problems (like painting, lining-wall etc.), in defining the space and running our profession as well. Geometrical shapes and objects are a part of

EDU 04.7: THEORETICAL BASE OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION   UNIT  I NATURE AND DEVELOPMENT OF MATHEMATICS EDUCATION Topic :  Development of Mathematics  Human Needs as the Basis of Growth of Mathematics.  Mathematics - as a Structured Science. 1. Human Needs as the Basis of Growth of Mathematics.  Mathematics, like everything else that man has created, exists to fulfill certain human needs and desires. It is very difficult to say at what point of time in the history of mankind, and in which part of the world, mathematics had its birth. More than 2,000 years before the beginning of the Christian era, both the Babylonians and the Egyptians were in possession of systematic methods of measuring space and time. They had the knowledge of basic geometry and basic astronomy. This rudimentary mathematics was formulated to meet the practical needs of an agricultural population. Their geometry resulted from the measurements made necessary by problems of land surveying.      Units of measurement, origin
