1. Absence of Math labs in schools.
2. Absence of appropriate apparatuses/equipment for math labs.
3. The idea of experiential learning in Mathematics but lack of execution.
4. To inculcate a systematic approach to inquiry-based learning in Mathematics.
5. A formal system of validating and verification of Math concepts for grades VI to X.
Students in groups of three to four assemble threads, screws, and protractors to construct figures and take out the data for accepting or rejecting the hypothesis (Math theorems). They then organize and tabulate the data and based on it, accept or reject the hypothesis.
There are also activities planned, where students can model the mathematical phenomena through provided cut-outs.
All activities are mapped to the CBSE curriculum of India. The topics that have been picked are generic and universal in nature and are taught across grades VI to X.
The method we suggest is to assemble threads, screws protractors on proprietary designed baseboards, to collect data and organize it, or work with provided cut-outs, and finally to explore, validate, verify, and model the math concepts and theorems that are taught in grades VI to X.
In the last year, we have already supplied our Su-Art mathematics apparatuses to over 100 schools across the states of India.
In the next 2-3 years, we look forward to supplying the government schools through state government contracts across Indian states.
We have put up the manufacturing line to produce close to 500 math apparatuses a month.
