World would come to a standstill without the use of Maths. It is an indespensible
part of our lives. Ispite of the subject being so important, it accounts for the
maximum number of failure and a high degree of mathsphobia; thus resulting in a
poor attitude for maths. The reason lies more with the way the subject is presented
and less with the child's aptitude.
In order to facilitate the children to comprehend certain abstract concepts and
to transform the so called tricky abstract and impractical subject into an interesting
learning experience; it is desirable that it should be brought to concrete operational
level where children can check and verify the validity of concept through activities
and thus view maths close to life. This is what we at Bhartiya Public School do
in maths lab. The maths, lab in our school was inaugurated by our Chairman, Mr.
Hariram Ranwa on June 2012.
Our aim is to make match more pragmatic and interesting. Our emphasis si on process
being more important than the product. It is well equipped with basic models to
verify various concepts and theorems in maths. The children work in groups and are
provided with small working units. They discover various concepts and facts by themselves
thus giving them a feel of maths. The creativity of the students is allowed free
play. The are encouraged to find alternative solution and alternative methods. Teachers
and students work as joint investigating teams.
The lab is also quipped with computers to use technology for learning. Children
see and prepare various power point presentation. They link maths with other subjects
thus developing interdisciplinary thinking
