Mathematics through ICT: ICT based teaching and learning is one of the most important aspects of teaching-learning process particularly in this era of fast and technically advancing technology. Teaching and learning without the use of ICT can be very redundant since it’s the need of the generation. So on 5th November I taught class V mathematics on Experimental probability and theoretical probability. Materials used were laptop, projector and internet. Students seems to be active when the ICT facilities were used to teach the lesson. Children interaction variation increases as well. This is the one way to boost their energy or arouse their curiosity. Another thing is that it saves time and delivery part becomes effective. When ICT facilities is not made use of it, we need to write on chart or on board while delivering the lesson which time consuming. When the students were actively participate in learning means that it is easy to achieve the objectives which true to my knowledge. The learners become inactive and un-participatory without the integration of ICT in the lessons apart from many more. How did we know that? When I was delivering the lesson, in the middle of my lesson, electricity went off which made handicap as well children became passive in learning. After few minutes later electricity favored me and I could continue the lesson with their much interest and active participation. Activities assigned to them were solved correctly which means objectives set were fulfilled. To conclude, ICT plays a pivotal role in transforming educational practices. ICT not only helps to translate theory to pragmatic experience, but also makes learning more fun and creative. It has helped both the teacher and the learner to carry out their tasks conveniently and efficiently.

Subject: Mathematics, Topic: Transformation, Sub-topic: Translation or slides Dated on 8/10/2021 I have taught class V children on translation using ICT facilities such as internet, projector, laptop, video clip and worksheets (to assess their learning). I personally felt that children were excited whenever they are taken to smart technology room for teaching and learning. This is because they are taken through different teaching strategies and also different learning abilities are taken good care of it. Usually children are inactive especially in the afternoon classes but they were not, they were actively participating in the class, this is the impact of ICT integrated with the daily lesson. About 95 percent of the children could solve the task assigned to them which indicates that they have learn a lot when ICT is integrated. Usually these same students were not able to solve the questions when the ICT is not integrated. This is what I have found out the differences that is made by ICT facilities. Students smiled and felt happy to watch video, it was interesting and new to them. Unnecessary noise was not there other than discussing and pinpointing to the shapes that are translated. I though the videos allowed them to recapitulate their prior knowledge. It was as if like they were fixing the broken part of the concept. Further, I found students were looking at the video very carefully. They were able to catch on how to translate the shapes as per the instructions or description. I saw their eyes moving as the shapes translate in the video which states that they were very curious. After the video I let them do activity which demanded to translate the shapes as per the descriptions. To my surprise almost all the students could solve the questions. I think ICT can bring lots of changes in learning, especially in gaining attention. I too realized that old-school visual aids such as chalkboards and hand-drawn illustrations was of time-consuming while video presentation was of easy and faster mode to deliver the lesson. Thanks

Class: V Subject: Mathematics Topic: Volume On 2nd September, I taught a lesson on ‘Volume’ to class V students using ICT facilities like laptop, projector, and internet. During the lesson, I have used power point presentation and short video tutorial. Alongside, I made students to have hand on experience to use cubes to build the structure by looking at diagrams; I have taught them to find volume in two different ways that is by counting the cubes that can exactly fit in a rectangular prism and other way is by using the formula. I found children were actively participating during the lesson. I found the differences between plan power point preparation and ppt prepared in 3-D. Student’s understandings is much better when taught through 3-D power point presentation. They enjoy the lesson because 3-D visual presentation makes them to understand better. Any structure build out of using cubes, children could easily solve the problems. Earlier I have used only worksheet and some diagrams drawn on the chart to teach about the same, at that time some students had difficulties solving the problems related it. Children could derive the formula to find out the volume of 3-D shape when they were taken through 3-D power point presentation. The impact on learners is much better when the ICT facilities are used in better and effective ways. To conclude, ICT plays important role in transforming educational practices. ICT not only helps to translate theory to pragmatic experience, but also makes learning more fun and creative. Thanks
