Mathematical Rhymes (ePub)

Mathematics is usually looked at with suspicion and fear by the students. But as their fear and doubts dissappear, Mathematics becomes their favourite subject. Here in this book of Rhymes, Geetha Ravindran has compiled mathematical rhymes that she composed and used in her class rooms successfully.

Everyone of us enjoy music and anything that rhymes and chimes. There is a kind of sensory consoling that the rhythmic activities tend to . A very difficult baby can be put into peaceful emotional comfort through a sweet lullaby . So do the songs and rhymes in mischevious and restless kids who find it difficult learning heavier concepts. The rhymes in this collection can be sung in unison imparting a kind of inspiration or motivation at the same time attracting towards the subject matter.

The number rhymes do build a definite backup, the rhymes on geometrical concepts cast an unerasable image of various figures and their properties and several others do help fixing the computational skills through practice.

I am sure that the book will render a noval outlook in the teaching / learning process and so help the Mathematics teachers and students to easily apply them. Dear mathematics teachers, use such techniques of singing and playing with mathematics that I am sure your students will start admiring the subject and at the same time you who guide them.

I forward this book with great pleasure as it is a contribution from a teacher who wrote the same impulsively after her fruitful teaching experience streched over 36 years in various Kendriya Vidyalayas.

I wish her all the very best .I am sure this book will be an asset to the learners and mathematics teachers.
