Learning should not be restricted to the traditional,
formal methods, but new methods and techniques
should be explored, so that students get to grasp
the concepts in multiple ways!
To introduce the concept of 'Integers', Math teachers
at the Isha Vidhya Vanavasi School created an activity
named ‘Integer scale‘ for students of classes 6th to
8th grade. Paper cards showing zero,positive and
negative numbers were pasted on the corridor floor
and students were asked to attempt questions based
on them.
The exercises that they given were (a) Identify the
numbers which are integers, (b) Comparison of
integers, (c) Addition and subtraction of the integers,
and (d) Finding predecessor, successor and the other
numbers between the integers.
Such innovative techniques hone the learning abilities
of the students at Isha Vidhya. We continue to strive
to come up with new methods and techniques which
make the learning a lot easier and enjoyable for
the children!
If you would like to support the effort of math learning,
you are welcome do so by making a donation to the
math lab option in the link provided.
We thank you for all you did for Isha Vidhya!
Thanks & Best Regards,
