Presidium strongly emphasizes experiential learning and encourages the use of tools and techniques to implement it. Keeping the same view in mind and to promote the use of innovative ways of understanding the mathematical concepts of Percentage and its relationship with Decimals and Fractions, Presidium organized a Maths Activity for students of grade 5. The activity aimed to promote critical thinking and problem-solving in the classroom with the help of sheets and colours, making the Dienes Block pictures of hundredths. Students thoroughly enjoyed the activity as it fostered their analytical skills and application of Percentage and its relationship with Fractions and Decimals. Students felt that learning through this approach was quite a pleasant experience and felt confident about the subject, thus eliminating the fear of mathematics.
