Children enjoy playing with solid objects, so they should be started first in the classroom. Children should be given a chance to collect things, play with them, test them in different ways. With their help, tasks like 'sorting', recognizing colors, making pairs, understanding sequences can be done. Together with the children, clay toys, shapes can be made on sand and clay. It is very important to interact with children or listen to their experiences while playing or working with solid objects. Often when we use solid objects in the classroom, we use only one type of solid object, whereas working with different types of solid objects helps children understand more. Learning-Teaching Sequence of Mathematics Children learn maths easily in the following sequence, which is based on going from concrete to abstract.
Experience with solid objects.
Expression by Language
Use of Pictures
Use of signs
It is better that the counts – instead of memorizing the hills, the emphasis should be on making the counts and making the tables. The operations of addition, multiplication, subtraction and division should be done with solid objects first, then with numbers. Adequate experience of these actions with objects will make actions with points easier. Addition, multiplication, subtraction and division may begin with concrete things, but learning is meaningful only when the child reaches the concept of these activities. They know that counting is made by 'adding one to one'. Addition means to add things and multiply means to multiply things by the same amount over and over again – in both actions things add up. Or subtract means to reduce things or division means to divide them equally. In both these actions things fall into place. Usually by memorizing the definitions of point, line, triangle etc. - Learning-Teaching becomes very monotonous and boring work. It is better to find or construct these figures around you. After going through a series of 'space' experiences, it will be easier to make sense of 'volume' and 'area' in larger classes.
Utility of Oral Mathematics at Primary Level
Oral maths is very useful for children. It promotes the process of thinking in children. But it is important to keep in mind that verbal maths questions are related to their environment and children can derive practical meaning from them. Children can also understand the rationale of the events given in the questions. Language and context in mathematics The language of the teacher plays an important role in learning mathematics.
Practice is very important in learning maths. Often we do 'memory exercises' in classes. Whereas there is scope for creativity and innovation in practice. In this, there is scope to do any action with understanding and logic. On the contrary, rote is a mechanical action. In this, something has to be repeated again and again without thinking. In this the brain is less active. Maybe we are making mistakes in class. Our method of teaching mathematics seems to encourage children to memorize.
Teach children the beauty of mathematics
Teaching math learning becomes an enjoyable task when done with interest and activities in the classroom. This develops many abilities in children. The understanding of order is developed in children. The ability to reason and think increases. Children learn to synthesize-analyze, make decisions and draw conclusions. Along with mathematics, understanding of language is formed. With this, children can solve problems of thinking and understanding. The beauty of mathematics is in designing, architecture and exterior-interior decoration of things/places. Their aesthetic sense can be instilled in children through continuous math activities. The difficulty of mathematics also depends a lot on the teaching-learning methods followed in the classroom. Sometimes a concept is difficult for a class but the same becomes easy in the next class.
Evaluate children like this in maths
It is becoming increasingly common to recognize that assessment through examinations alone is a one-off assessment. It does not cover the entire personality of the children, their strengths and weaknesses. Children receive new influences and learn new behaviors every day. express them. In this case, a continuous continuous evaluation methodology can be useful. In this, the watchful eyes of the teacher are constantly watching the children and reading. Keeps track of their activities. Not only the children but also their work and methods keep checking and testing. In fact, the evaluation of the children also includes the evaluation of the teacher. Truth be told, in any subject, not the children, but the teaching-learning system or systems fail. Failure of children is the result of some unsuccessful efforts. It is difficult to establish any basis for evaluation, yet some benchmarks can be made. like -
Operation / Lesson Learning – Teaching Situation
What was the effect of the lesson/operation taught?
If the effect was not good, then the teacher's own efforts were evaluated.
Children's progress in teaching-learning
Use of concepts learned by the child in different situations
His stand on his own and others' mistakes
His attitude when others point out mistakes
Scrutiny of exam copies is also an aspect of evaluation. Instead of giving importance to the answers only, the emphasis should be on checking the process followed and the understanding demonstrated by the children in solving the questions. Children mostly make mistakes in solving certain questions. Teachers know this. While teaching, and even afterward, it should be tried to find out where children often make mistakes. Learning math for kids can be both a pleasurable experience and a frightening one. It depends on the situation and process of teaching whether mathematics becomes a favorite subject for the child or becomes afraid of mathematics.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------
Games can be used to remove the fear and interest of mathematics in children.
Some such interesting games can be played with children of primary level.
Game-1: Counting and Tables
All the children of the class have to sit in a circle and start counting from any child and speak sequentially. The child who speaks wrong will be out of the game. The next child will start again at 1. This sequence will continue. The child who speaks the count carefully and does not get out is the winner. The same game can also be played by speaking the tables. Concentration is very important in this game. All the children have to listen carefully to what their neighbor is saying.
Game-2: Addition and Balance
Put the children in a circle and say a number and tell how many to add to it? For example, we say the number 4 and add 3 to it and go ahead, the child who says wrong will be out. Similarly, the game of subtraction can also be played. Suppose the number 57 is to be spoken by subtracting 2 from it. Whoever speaks right will remain in the game; whoever speaks wrong will be out of the game.
Game-3: Move on to the number to be divided
Go ahead on the number to be divided or say the word good or what is the difference etc. For example a number divisible by 4 is not to be spoken. Children will say 1,2,3 and 4 will say go ahead when they come. The next child will say 5. There is a lot of fun in this game. With attention and attraction, the child easily learns the number that can be divided by any number.
Game-4: Geometry Shapes
I also feed children a game of recognizing geometry shapes. In the first class, explaining angles, triangles, rectangles, squares, circles to the children by explaining them, then I play games based on it. By making a circle, children are asked to run around in the circle by making angles, triangles, rectangles, squares, circles, spheres etc. Then it is said that 2, 3 or 4 students will stand in a rectangle, triangle. The children who recognize and stand in these figures remain in the game, those who stand in the other figures are out of the game. While this game is enjoyable, geometry is very effective in identifying shapes.
Game-5: Evaluation in game play
We can try this game in any subject to check the learning level. Apart from the fearful examination system, the game itself can test what we taught in the game.
Make small questions and write them in the slips. These should contain questions related to what we have taught to the children. Make the children sit in a circle in the classroom itself. One child will open the slip one by one. Will read the question and answer it. If the child answers the question, he will remain in the game and will be out of the game for the wrong answer. This sequence will continue continuously. The child who plays till the end will be the winner of the game. Which we can also encourage by giving small and big prizes. While this game will assess our teaching process, it is a great medium to check the learning level. We can play this game after any lesson.
In this way, there can be many other games through which we can take out the fear of mathematics from the children and create interest in them.

Follow these methods to teach your child to write
1. Teach to hold a pen or pencil first – Give the child a pencil or pen, then show them how to hold it. Advise him to hold the pen between the finger and the thumb. If his grip becomes strong, then writing will not be a problem.
Give a rough copy or slate – When the child learns to hold a pen, pencil and chalk, give him a rough copy or slate and ask him to play anything on it. By this he will learn to operate the pen.
Take support of color – Children love colors. You can also arouse the desire to write in it with the help of colors. Give him the color and ask him to run on any paper.
Use white board and marker – When the child learns to hold and operate the pen, then start the practice of writing. For this, give white board and marker to the child. After this, write some letters of alphabet or counting to the child and ask them to write in the same way.
Show it to the child and write it himself - Children often copy elders. In such a situation, while showing the child, sit and write something. Seeing you, he will also insist on writing. When he does, give him another pen and copy and ask him to write.
Encourage the child - If you want the child to do any work well, then it is most important to encourage him for that. It is also essential in teaching the art of writing. If the child uses a pen, makes something, encourage him. Tell your child to be a genius by comparing names to other children. This will do him better. Never discourage him, don't say things that you don't know.
