The National Curriculum Framework (NCF 2005) is one of the four National Curriculum Frameworks published in 1975, 1988, 2000 and 2005 by the National Council of Educational Research and Training NCERT in India. The Framework provides the framework for making syllabii, textbooks and teaching practices within the school education programmes in India. According to NCF 2005, school Mathematics takes place in a situation where mathematics is part of children’s life experience.

Mathematical process - (mathematics) calculation by mathematical methods; "the problems at the end of the chapter demonstrated the mathematical processes involved in the derivation"; "they were learning the basic operations of arithmetic". Memorization is not a Mathematical process because Memorization is the process of committing something to memory.

Diagnostic reading test includes the following sub tests—

• Poetry comprehension and appreciation

• assimilating mathematical terms
• expressing mathematical thought and ideas - making learners able to reason logically
• recognizing the pattern of mathematical thought

Hence, it could be concluded that a teacher should initiate mathematical talks in her classroom because language helps in mathematical understanding.
