Thirteen lakh students in Classes 1 to 4 in the State will be presented with mathematics kits that will enable them to take part in various games in schools and at home that make the subject fun and help them firm up concepts, Minister for General Education V. Sivankutty has said.
He was speaking after inaugurating the Samagra Shiksha, Kerala’s “Ullasaganitham, Ganithavijayam – Veetilum Vidyalayathilum” project at a function at the Government Upper Primary School, Nemom, here on Wednesday.
The Minister said the games that were based on mathematical concepts and activities connected to the subject textbooks would help children learn mathematics easily. “Many students find mathematics a difficult subject. But like any other subject, it can be picked up easily if the way it is studied is changed,” he said.
