With the world becoming an increasingly complex place, children need to grasp new ways of learning to prepare themselves to participate in the future workforce. There is an axiom saying that “children of today are the artists of tomorrow”. The architect qualities can only be developed when the students are given various opportunities of learning and also should know the achievements and landmarks of various branches of knowledge. So they should be provided with such activities that help them to gain knowledge of all branches including Mathematics. The National mathematics study committee report also stresses the need for teaching mathematics is to make children think creatively, act creatively and do creatively.
However, in the current context of Covid-19 lockdowns and restriction of movements, children have constrained access to any of such activities. School closures are preventing children from access to learning and limiting their interactions with teachers, peers and others social groups.
Intending to fill these lacunae in education and learning, we at G.D. Goenka Public School, are aiming at keeping the mathematical vigour alive by organizing computational projects like Online Multiplication Quiz, where students from Grade 4 to Grade 6 will participate. This quiz will act as a tool that will enable children to come out of stress, fear, and anxiety. Such activities and methods will keep children engaged positively and provide them a platform to express themselves.
