The mathematics laboratory of the college is a place where prospective teachers can experiment and explore patterns and ideas. It is a place where one can find a collection of various mathematical aids, games, puzzles, mathematical- equipments and other teaching -learning material meant to develop and enhance inquiry based learning. Numerous mathematics aids are prepared and used by the prospective teachers to explore the world of mathematics, to discover, to learn and to develop an interest in mathematics. Various aids are issued to the students for their demonstration lessons and skill in teaching examinations. In the mathematics lab students explore and design new mathematical activities and enjoy mathematics through informal exploration. The activities performed in this lab consists of a wide range, intended to give students a practical experience of doing mathematics while enjoying it too.
