ICT in teaching Mathematics

On 17^th September, I had a lesson on the topic “Metric Units” for my class V students. Before I got inside the main topic, I discussed standards and non standards units to recapitulate the previous lesson that they have informed earlier. Then I demonstrated how to convert units using conversion chart and then with by dividing and multiplying by 1000s, 100s and 10. I also explained how to convert units using internet.

After that I allowed my students to solve a few questions on converting the units using internet in the group. In the time of doing activity, the children were actively responded to their answer within a short period of time and they asked for more questions. They found much untroubled in solving questions with the ict compared to solving problems in the class. With these converting units, children were found very difficult while solving manually in the class but with ict usage, children could easily do that without any problem. With using ict, children solved any type of questions on converting units.

With this experience, I felt that it would be much better in teaching and learning if every school is equipped with such facilities. Through ict children learn how to solve their questions in an easy way especially the subject like mathematics.Henceforth, i want to use ict in my teaching math.

 Thank you.

On 4th September, I had a lesson on angles for my class five students. During that time, instead of teaching the lesson, I took my children in the video room and let them watch the video on angles for ten minutes. Throughout the video, children were seriously giving the attention to the video since I also instructed them to watch carefully. 

After the video, children move back to their class. Once they reached in the class, we had few times for a short discussion on the video that they have watched. At that time I found many children could express well on angles. Next I provided with a worksheet each on angles for each group and instructed them to identify the angles. That time also, almost all the group had done very accurately. So I found using ict in teaching is a very useful aids especially with the mathematics lesson. Firstly it store up our time so that we can do something in that period and also enhances the understanding of the children. So I want to integrate ICT in my lesson henceforth.

Thank you.
