Two months into their on-line course in Maths Matters, Shalini and Kanishka, our tuition teachers talk about how delighted they are to have learned how to teach basic maths using different techniques that interest the children. They say that when they started the tuition class this year the children were reluctant to do any maths. However, these great maths games, and the new teaching skills they have acquired, have transformed the children’s interest and enjoyment in working with numbers and shapes.
The on-line course enables Shalini and Kanishka to talk with their tutor about the challenges they face when teaching and to work out ways to hold the children’s attention and respond to their questions. They have learned many interesting maths games that only use commonly and naturally available materials such as stones, paper cut outs and classroom objects.
