The Mathematics Laboratory at Bhatnagar International School is a well-established initiative aimed at enriching classroom learning through innovative and practical teaching methods. The Mathematics Department has always strived to create an engaging environment that supplements traditional teaching with hands-on experiences.
A revolutionary step in mathematics education was taken nearly a decade ago when the integration of computers into teaching and learning was introduced. Formally established in 2002, the Mathematics Laboratory has since become an integral part of the school’s curriculum.
At present, the Maths Lab is a compulsory component of the Mathematics teaching-learning process. The school prepares an annual schedule of lab activities for Classes II to XI, which is shared with students at the beginning of the academic session. Each activity is carefully designed by teachers to reduce the abstract nature of mathematical concepts and connect them to real-life applications.
Weekly Schedule and Function of the Lab:-
The use of the internet has added new dimensions to learning mathematics. Students and teachers regularly access educational websites and software tools such as metric converters, HCF and LCM tools, percent-decimal conversion tools, BrainPOP, Mathematica, Geometer’s Sketchpad, graphic calculators, and animation films on trigonometric functions.
Teachers are also provided with reference materials that open up new possibilities for effective teaching. The integration of multimedia tools, such as CDs and projector-based learning in the school’s multimedia room, further enhances student engagement and understanding.
