The present paper is a conceptual paper focusing on adopting constructivist approach in the teaching and learning mathematics. Our present education system emphasizes on preparing students for highly competitive standardized tests and overlooks the importance of fostering critical thinking skills in our students. The conventional teacher centric teaching learning process emphasizing on memorization is usually adopted across length and breadth of Indian schools.. The principles of constructivism, increasingly influential in the organization of classrooms and curricula in schools. The principles appeal to our modern views of learning and knowledge, but conflict with traditional academic practices. We need to reflect on our practice in order to apply these ideas to teaching of mathematics.
