Thought Bite - Maths on the road ! - Logical Intelligence

Image
First outdoor with different age kids. The goal was to explore “maths in Traffic”. We began by collecting data at two different signals. We counted vehicles,  categorized them like color, size, shape, brand, and so on. We explored a lot of concepts – counting, addition, subtraction ratio, and proportion.    We analyzed the data in different forms – graphs, writing words instead of numbers, drawing designs in graphs, the ratio of male and female drivers, people with hamlets and without a helmet and inferring ratio, brands of bikes, colors of bikes (black was more than red), unique colors (green car) and so on. It was learning for me to explore how different children were counting, how they were analyzing the data, how they were observing, and lot more……… KIDS SPEAK I observed the waiting at a junction and were letting other vehicles cross.

The real power is each child's ability to apply knowledge. 3.  Children need to know. “Oh,No!” Children need to experience and understand. From understanding will sprout knowledge of all kinds, of all requirements. 4.  That, who has scored high marks has understood. “Oh,No!”.  ​Mere marks do not guarantee understanding or learning. 5.  That who scored low ma...

MATH-LOGIC INTELLIGENCE   Mathematical and logical intelligence is the ability to quickly understand mathematical and logical problems Logical-Mathematical Intelligence is also the ability to appreciate and calculate the effect of actions upon objects or ideas. And the relationships among them. To apply reasoning skills, to provide solutions and recognize patterns to overcome complex mathematical and logical challenges as well as solving critical and creative problems. Though there is a widespread belief that those who want to improve their logical intelligence should be very good at mathematics, this is not necessarily the case.     What it implies to? Math logic application in real life, to solve problems, in the field of construction, Laboratories for testing, reason through important decisions, solve problems, generate creative ideas and set goals, drafting, to make story around math concept, To play with the logic, to find your own theory behind the concept,...
