Exploring Yadav Students Activities in Mathematics Classroom

Abstract

This is a case study which was entitled the 'Exploring Yadav students activities in mathematics classroom'. The main objectives of this research were to analyze the activities of yadav students at mathematics classroom and to explore the way of interaction in mathematics classroom. To fulfill this purpose, the researcher selected two school of Khoriya and Sunderpur VDC of Sarlahi district. The sample of six students were selected including one girl and two boys from each of the school and the math teacher, head teacher and parents were also taken for the data collection purposively.
