The world of geometry takes shape by the arrangement of lines, line segments, and rays. One cannot even imagine knowing geometry if one isn’t clear about the actual building blocks of the subject. It is interesting to see how the world around us uses this theoretical 2D knowledge to construct and build actual 3D objects. … Read more
Learning shapes is crucial for little learners. It helps them understand things they see around them and derive meaning from their observations. Most parents introduce different shapes to their kids when they are around 2 – 2.5 years old. By the time they are three years old, most kids can identify simple basic shapes. Toys, … Read more
Hey, look at this symbol – ≅ If your students or kids look at this symbol and think someone put some toothpaste on an equality sign, they are not alone. Using statements and some simple set of rules to find whether two triangles will completely coincide when put above each other or not is definitely … Read more
Do you remember how the equation represents the reaction that forms hydrochloric acid? If your answer wasn’t an immediate “Cl2 + H2 = 2HCl”, you are not alone. Chemistry is not an easy subject to master, especially with its interdisciplinary nature where it also requires a working knowledge of math and physics among other subjects. … Read more
Computational thinking is comparable to a task being completed in a series of steps. For instance, a child learning to walk might have to focus on balance, speed, and posture. Similarly, computational thinking fundamentally involves breaking down a problem into manageable steps. While some argue that computational thinking might be trickier for primary school children … Read more
We are all very much familiar with this surface formed by the intersection of one horizontal and another vertical line. If it took you a minute to place the x-axis as the horizontal line and the y-axis as the vertical line, chances are you also didn’t enjoy this chapter of mathematics as much. Problems related … Read more
Speed – The rate of change of distance.Velocity – The rate of change of displacement.Acceleration – The rate of change of velocity per unit of time. Sounds confusing, right? One of the best characteristics of a good teacher is to make difficult things easier for students. The above definitions reflect how these three physics concepts … Read more
While cloze tests might be fun and interesting, teaching and practicing them in a way in which they benefit the most can often be a challenge for teachers, parents, and educators. However, adding a fun element of gamification, the cloze tests can also be practiced with games and activities. While the cloze tests act advantageous … Read more
Every region, even in a single country, differs culturally to a great extent. As a result, introducing students to various forms of culture right from their school days has become necessary. Cultural diversity is about appreciating that society is made up of many different groups with different interests, skills, talents, and needs. Understanding the significance … Read more
A behaviorist-aligned method called drill and practice involves continually giving the same things to students until they have mastered them. A technique of instruction characterized by methodical repetition of ideas, examples, and practice problems is referred to as drill and practice. This repetition-based learning of skills and information can be challenging as it can get … Read more
