Abstract
Mathematics trains us to be ready for our everyday life and achievement in mathematics is required for the advancement in the lives of the students. Mathematical fluency helps to manage the cognitive load while solving problems and there is a bi-directional relationship between mathematical fluency and achievement in mathematics. The purpose of the study was to test the effect of the prepared Mathematical Fluency Developing Package on achievement in mathematics of primary school students. To test the effect, the experimental method was used and the non-equivalent pre-test post-test control group design was selected. The materials used for the experiment were the Mathematical Fluency Developing Package and the lesson transcripts based on Activity-Oriented Method of instruction, both were prepared by the investigators. An achievement test prepared and standardised by the investigators was used to collect data from the sample. A sample of 88 students, 44 for the experimental and 44 for the control group was selected for the study. The result of the study indicates that the Mathematical Fluency developing Package is better than the activity-oriented method of instruction for enhancing Achievement in Mathematics.
