Non Linear Method for Math Learning

Non Linear Method for Math Learning Special Learning Camp Interim intervention for std 3 to 5 In CG, MH, MP and OD

Practicing on different methodology No Rec. Add Sub Mult. Div • Read India Classes: • Major focus only on Bundle – Tilli along with Currency and word problems • (whole ,small, Individual group). • Learning Camp : • CRL along with volunteers conducted camp • focused on competency based learning • . Class Mode Camp Mode We used linear method in both mode

Step towards non linear approach • To find out the effectiveness of nonlinear method. • The objective of non linear method channelize children's capability of learning more than one concept at a time. • The focus of learning camp is to give them opportunity to explore many thing together • To see weather students with less number recognitions are able to perform basic math operations. SET GOALS

Process • Modification done of ASER Math testing tool. • Conducted testing with modified ASER Math testing tool. • Conducted testing with regular ASER language testing tooltoo. Testing Duration • Camp was conducted in two phases. • Each camp was conducted for ten days. • The duration of this camp was for 3 hours per day. • Gap between two camps was 12 days. • Formation was based on learning levels. • In this camp every group had the chance to move to new volunteer for learning the further competencies. • Teaching was done by combination of both SRGs and volunteers. Group formation In this camp we gave a chance to each child to learn at least 3 other competencies which they were not able to solve.

Material • Number Chart • Expansion chart • Oral addition, subtraction and comparison Chart • Straw and Rubber bands • Currency, Trading cards • Worksheet for each child We used same material which we already used in Read India classes.

Hurdles • In the group of number recognition, difficulty is faced to manage large number of children. • Problem is faced due to non ability of reading when asked for individual solving of sums. • Irregularity of students in the group. • Infrastructural problem.

Outcomes

Fraction Understanding the introduction of fraction is easier than operations of fraction.

In CG Improvement in number recognition children

Fraction test who are in number recognition level Children who are in number recognition level can also recognize fraction

Learning • Non linear method is more effective for children who are in number recognition level. • Confidence and interest level of children shoots upwards due to changing group . • For improvement in child’s learning various other competences other than decided are to be framed. • Increases volunteer’s confidence in teaching. • Children gets more time for practicing in this session. • Capacity building on CRL’s.

Few Things … There are some additional things related to learning subject Math which we do teach to students but we don’t evaluate at this level
