Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the teaching strategies employed to teach mathematics at the secondary level in private schools in Karachi. By exploring various methodologies, classroom practices, and teacher-student dynamics, this paper seeks to identify the strengths and shortcomings of current approaches. Data were collected through classroom observations, teacher interviews, and student performance metrics. The findings highlight a mix of traditional and modern techniques with an emphasis on rote learning, which hinders conceptual understanding. The paper concludes with recommendations for enhancing pedagogical approaches in mathematics education to foster critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
