"Mathematics is the backbone of all subjects"

The Mathematics laboratory is a place where students can experiment and explore patterns and ideas. It is a place where students can find a collection of projects, puzzles and other teaching and learning material. The materials are meant to be used both by the students on their own and with their teachers to explore the world of Mathematics, to discover, to learn and to develop an interest in Mathematics.

The activities create interest among students who want to explore and test some of their ideas and beliefs about Mathematics.

The Maths lab provides an opportunity for the students to discover Mathematics through doing. Many of the activities present a problem or a challenge, with the possibility of generating to visualize, manipulate and reason. They provide opportunity to make conjectures and test them to generalize observed patterns. They crack a context for students to attempt to prove their conjectures. Mathematics lab is a place to enjoy Maths through informal exploration. It is a place where anyone can generate problems and struggle to get answers. It is a place to explore and design new mathematical activities.

Maths lab is a self-explanatory lab with activities in which students can come anytime and engage in the work. The role of the teacher is not to teach how to progress in the acitivity but to facilitate enquiry with the Mathematics in it. The facilitation could be done either by probing questions, giving an extra resource or discussing with pears.

So based on the above points our school provided a mathematics lab to students where they are Learning by Doing. The activities can be done individually by students, with guidance from a teacher or can be used for demonstration with a small group of students.
