World Mathematics Day: How to overcome maths anxiety and appreciate this beautiful subject (Kashmir Reader)

Mathematics is the only subject that encourages and develops logical thinking and creative imagination. We often use mathematical vocabulary like commission, discount, profit and loss, percentage, etc, in our day to day life. In the words of IG ...

Teachers should make changes in their pedagogical processes, like they can encourage students to discuss in groups about the properties of triangles and construction of geometrical shapes, line segments, and bisectors. Parents should also provide a congenial and loving home environment to their children and should not put pressure on them. This programme is designed for children studying in standards I and II, to strengthen their literacy and numeracy skills as a foundation towards their classroom learning. Pratham, an NGO working in education sector, has started many programmes related to numeracy and literacy, one of which is “I Scream and I Count: Early literacy and numeracy’’ popularly referred to as Balwachan. Most of the competitive examinations at national and state level require mathematical aptitude but students who are facing maths anxiety perform badly in these examinations and hence lose many job opportunities. Parents who often give low status to mathematics or at times put pressure on their children may also contribute to the development of mathematical anxiety among students. As per National Achievement Survey Report (NAS) 2021, released by Ministry of Education, mathematics achievement score across India was 57% in class third, dropping by almost 10% to 44% in fifth, and to 36% in class eighth and 32% in class 10th. For this, National Mission on Foundation Literacy and numeracy will be set up by the Ministry of Education on top priority. As per The Annual Status of Education Report (ASER), by NGO Pratham, 56% of students in class VIII can’t divide a 3-digit number with a single digit number, 72% students in class V can’t do division at all, and 70% of class III students are not able to do any subtraction. By 2025, the education system’s main aim will be to attain universal foundation literacy and numeracy in elementary schools. There is no discipline in which mathematics is not applicable, and yet despite its wide applicability mathematics is regarded as a challenging academic discipline, due to which most students avoid this subject. In the words of Thorndike, education as a whole should foster the higher impersonal pleasures.

The cube of 12 is 1728, and the cube of 1 is 1. The cube of 10 is 1000, and the cube of 9 is 729. 1729 is also the sum of the cubes of 12 and 1. By being part of different championships, I observed that India’s representation in the field of maths at the international level is very limited, and I want to change that. 1729 is the sum of the cubes of 10 and 9. As an inspiration to many aspiring fertile minds, Bhanu stepped out of his comfort zone to build a cognitive curriculum that will make learning maths more fun and relatable to students. He explained that it is the smallest number that can be expressed as the sum of two cubes in two different ways. The objective of mind sports is to test our mental strength rather than our physical strength. By doing this students are just mugging up the concept and are not able to understand the application of that concept. Once a student understands the significance of the concepts, he will be eager to learn. When a person learns about the history of a concept, it becomes more interesting to him. I happened to compete in various speed maths calculation competitions and eventually won that championship also.

National Mathematics Day: 4 fun cartoons to make children fall in ... (India Today)

On National mathematics day, check out this list of four fun cartoons, and animated movies and series to make children fall in love with math.

‘Peg + Cat’ is one of the best-animated shows that help kids understand the importance of math in everyday life. ‘Toy Story’ is a favorite with most kids, and the amount of mathematics being applied here is surprising. The positioning of the elements on screen is decided using coordinate geometry. The movie has interesting mathematical elements like tic-tac-toe-playing walking pencils, square-rooted trees, a stream that flows with numbers and a geometric bird chirping the first 15 digits of pi. On National mathematics day, check out these four interesting animated movies and series that use math theories. Animation seems more like an art that demands a perspective, whereas mathematics requires accuracy, the capacity to cope with hypotheses, and a fervent clinical approach.
