How often do teachers try to teach mathematical concept using objects used in our day-to-day lives? Research has shown that children understand things better when they are taught using images and objects that they see and use. Though most educators and parents know this, not many really implement this to educate children.
Take for instance, congruence of triangles. I am use most teachers would use the following images to teach ‘congruence’ to children.
The problem with these images is that children might not take interest in understanding the concepts as they do not find ‘fun’ in these. While these images are good for senior students, a beginner in geometry might fail to understand the meaning of ‘congruence’.
However, the same can be taught in an interesting fashion.
Online tutoring is a great way of teaching children using images and pictures. Modern tools like the whiteboard allow online tutors to import images and even change their alignment to teach a concept to children. Online math tutors, in particular, can use images used in our day-to-day lives to teach mathematical concept to K-12 students in an interesting way.
