Mathematics is a science of patterns. It is a body of ideas structured by logical thinking and reasoning. The facts, concepts, principles and procedures play a vital role in the development of mathematics as a discipline. The sustaining social interest in mathematics is based on at least four major themes in its development; (1) the arithmetic of whole numbers and fractions for recording and ordering commerce and practical affairs; (2) The ideas of Algebra, Geometry, Statistics and Calculus providing valuable models in the biological and physical world; (3) the aesthetic qualities of mathematical structures embodied in art; (4) the patterns of logical reasoning in mathematical proofs carried over in many other disciplines. The aim of the present study is to identify and extract the basics of mathematics embedded in multiple contexts. Document analysis was the main method used for the present study. A considerable amount of time was spent by the investigator on observing natural and man-made contexts which could be capitalized for mathematics education. The investigator studied and analyzed the mathematical possibilities of natural and man-made contexts. It was seen that the elements of mathematics stands on the level of establishment of relationships among other disciplines also. At this position, it is unavoidable to obtain some cautions at the studies that happen later
