SCHOOL WORLD MATHEMATICS is the science of numbers, divided into various sub-branches for the convenience of man. When we introduce these a variety of branches to a student what we need to stress upon is the obvious underlying correlation amongst them. Let the students not only be acquainted to them but also tell them the basic similarity in them, and why we needed algebra in a particular problem and not arithmetic. A child should not be made to learn arithmetic for arithmetic’s sake. They should be encouraged to do the real things, using actual objects. Let them judge for themselves whether or not they have been successful in achieving their goal. This stage of self-appreciation and self-gratification is all-important and decisive in those early years. They need to learn to feel the actual meaning of a 5 sq. meter lawn or a rope inches long. Now talking of algebra, which most of the students find pointless and bizarre. What they fail to acknowledge is that it is the most important instrument of modern life. Algebra, with its roots in Indian Mathematics provides a base to much higher studies in Physics, Astronomy, Navigation and many others. The very reason of the discovery of Algebra was to make arithmetical calculations easy. So the obvious best way of teaching algebra would be a self-discovery process. Let the children find for themselves labor-saving ways of calculations. Let them for themselves gradually unfold the mysteries of Algebra. immediate attention, as it is the maximum activity oriented branch. But then it also loses its bubble reputation as quickly. This is because of the need of precision and accuracy while practicing Geometry. A child understand the actual difference between a line segment 1.6 inches long and another 1.06 inches long. It is very often this need of accuracy that discourages a child. So again we need to give the child concrete and familiar examples, to which the child can correlate. First give the child concrete physical models to have a first hand experiences, then make use of his/her imagination. The best way of teaching figures is to first give them the figures in wood or plastic to feel. It is only after the 3 dimensional experiences that a child should be brought to 2 dimensional one. This builds their spatial ability, which is the mental manipulation of objects and their parts in 2D and 3D space. Teach the child Mathematics in all its different colors but also explain to him the underlying color of the ever-enchanting VIBGYOR of Mathematics. *Dr (Mrs) Madhu Chitkara, ex-senior lecturer, Dev Samaj College of Education, Sector 36-B & Best Teacher State awardee, 1987 |

Pohankar enthrals
audience The select gathering at Gandhrwa Mahavidyalaya was treated to an evening of exciting rendition of vocal Hindustani classical music. His unique gayaki displayed a colourful and innovative imagination in lyrical, light and classical modes and coloured his thumris with a commanding and melodious touch. He began with an alaap set in raga bihag “ Lagan Tose Lagi Balma ”. This was followed by a bandish in raga bhairavi “Ritu Basant Aayi” in a truly effervescent style. Known as a child prodigy after his first performance at the age of eight, this internationally renowned singer has come a long way. Having inherited the rich tradition of music from his parents(his mother, Dr Sushila Pohankar was his guru), he won the Sangeet Praveer award at the age of eight. By the time he was 10, he had performed with stalwarts like Pt Bhim Sen Joshi, Ustad Amir Khan and Ustad Vilayat Khan Sahib, and Ustad Nazakat and Salamat Ali. Later, while talking about the “pollution of Indian classical music”, he said the sanctity of music had to be maintained. “The creative juices stop flowing when one lifts from the classical and by merely adding foot-tapping rhythm, makes music and sells it,” he said, while commenting on the classical music being remixed. But the original music would last forever and versions would wither away, he added. He said his first love was imparting his knowledge to the younger generation. To realise his dream, he conducts musical seminars and workshops in India and abroad. |
