MathDelight

Introducing a new approach to learning Math in a fun way. Children learn most when they play. So these classes are about playing games. Games based on Math concepts so learning doesn’t feel like work it just happens. Also these classes will help kids to apply and relate the knowledge to their day to day experiences thereby further reinforcing the concepts and preparing them for life.

Ontario Curriculum + Singapore Math + IB Curriculum + Practical Application + loads of Fun

Classes are built on five pillars:

  • Ontario  Curriculum: Ensures kids learn in parallel with school

  • Singapore Math: Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract. Each concept is explained using manipulatives reinforced by pictorial diagrams, followed by number usage

  • IB Curriculum : Learning math in three phases. Construction - Transfer - Application phase. This approach ensures deeper understanding of the concept.

  • Practical Application: Activities are based on practical mathematical concepts, allowing kids to easily apply them in real-life

  • Fun: Concepts are reinforced using games and other fun activities, ensuring children enjoy learning which permits deeper retention

Visualizing Numbers

How much is 1111? Why does the value of 1 change based on its position? Let’s find out answers to these questions through this fun game

Reading big numbers with ease

It’s a big challenge for children when it comes to reading large numbers. This game will help them break the number into small parts, making it easy to read. They will have fun playing it as a game and, in the process learn to read large numbers.

Understanding the application of HCF ( Highest Common Factor)

I remember learning about HCF in upper elementary school. I could easily calculate the HCF of numbers however I had no idea why and how HCF is used in daily life. I designed this activity to make my students understand the concept of HCF and its application. The use of manipulatives to solve a real-life problem not only strengthened the concept but also engaged them well.

Students were given 8 cookies, 16 juice packs, and 24 sweets. Their task was to equally distribute the items(Cookies, Juice packs, sweets) to make goodie bags for a party.

They started by calculated the HCF for the numbers 8, 16, and 24 which is 4, and figured out that they will be able to make 4 goodie bags with 2 cookies, 4 juice packs, and 6 sweets each.

Next challenge - For the party, 16 kids will be coming. Find out how many items will be required to make 16 goodie bags with the same number of items.
