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
Spheres are geometric shapes that have captured the imagination of mathematicians and scientists for centuries. These simple yet elegant shapes can be found all around us, from the smallest atoms to the vast expanse of the universe. In this article, we will explore some fascinating examples of spheres in real life and discover how these … 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
Philosophy has played a crucial role in the development of various fields of study, including science, mathematics, physics, and economics. It is the foundation upon which these subjects have emerged, providing the framework for understanding and exploring the natural world. One of the most notable philosophers from Greek times, Thales of Miletus, made significant contributions … Read more
Our surroundings are full of different shapes and figures. Not only are they significant in nature but also in the world of mathematics. Kids get easily drawn towards these fascinating figures and in order to make them understand the unique features and properties, conventional methods, at times may not yield fruitful results. There are chances … Read more
“Look back so the view looking forward is clearer” It is true that reflecting on our experiences through the process of introspection can help us gain a deeper understanding of ourselves. This type of self-examination and evaluation is known as reflective learning. By engaging in reflective learning, we can identify our strengths and weaknesses, and … Read more
Deductive reasoning is a method of teaching and learning that involves the use of logical reasoning to arrive at a conclusion. This method was always present in classroom settings, particularly in subjects such as mathematics, logic, and science. However, the emphasis on rote memorization always took center stage. In recent years, the use of deductive … Read more
The brain has often been compared to that of a computer and that was all because of one mental ability- Computational thinking. In essence, it is a way of solving problems, designing systems, and understanding human behavior that draws on concepts fundamental to computer science. It can also be called a thought process that is … Read more
Geometry is not something that is limited to the domains of theory on paper. Examples of shapes and geometrical properties are in abundance in our surroundings, after all, it is by observing our environments that these figures took shape on paper. However, it is challenging to teach about different shapes and their properties to students. … Read more
Imagine your teacher or boss is giving you feedback on a piece of work you’ve submitted. Would you get angry at them, tell them they should be grateful for what you do, and storm off? Or would you take that feedback as an opportunity to learn, grow and get better at what you do? While … Read more
