The study was conducted to identify
innovative approaches in teaching Mathematics in
primary grades to achieve higher learning outcomes.
The derivatives applied in the study range from the
teacher manipulative to student motivation. The

outcome of innovative approach in teaching
mathematics in primary students and to observe the
attitude of students towards learning.
The examined population was comprised of
33 students of primary grades from an International
School in Thailand. The primary source of data is the
student performance in the school prior to application
of innovative approaches. The four different
approaches, visual, hands on application, Media
application and Project work were used to teach the
students. The researcher wanted to observe the
increase in the learning outcome. The research design
was based on one group experimental design
comprising of Pretest (O1) and Posttest (O2) results.
The research instrument consist of, Continuous
Comprehensive Evaluation and Periodical assessment
to study the grades and Questionnaire to study the
attitudes.
Findings in this research were reviewed by
scope of deriving new teaching standards is evident,
which can be pursued for future researches and
developing strategies for teaching and conducting studies
can thus be highly beneficial for learning outcomes. It
was observed 42.4% students’ performance greatly
improved from B or C grade to A & A* grade. The
students’ response to the innovative approach was also
highly encouraging as majority approved of them and it
