APC Lab Activities In Mathematics (with practical life) Class 8

Teaching Mathematics in High School for the past 25 years made me realise that around 50% of the students are affected by Maths anxiety. These students do not understand concepts deeply enough because they avoid the Mathematics subject due to fear of poor performance. In order to ensure that our students learn mathematics with a sense of joy, creativity and delight, we need to provide real exciting experiences to them. When our students are able to relate concepts learnt by them to life oriented activities, they will not only be interested but also their minds will be free of the dreaded syndrome called ‘Maths phobia or Maths anxiety’. Now that the NEP 2020 also proposes to set up ‘Activity Based Learning’ where learning is hands-on and experimental.
