Making Math Fun for Kids


Math can be a lot of fun for kids! It's all around us, in the things we see and do every day. Here are a few ways to make math fun and exciting for kids:

Play math games: There are many math games that are specifically designed for kids, such as counting and matching games, puzzles, and board games.


These games can make learning math concepts more interactive and engaging.

Use real-life examples: Math is all around us, so use real-life examples to help kids understand math concepts. For example, if you're teaching about measurement, you could use a ruler/tape to measure different objects around the house. Kids can measure their own height and weight and can try converting it to different units. If you are teaching money, ask the kids to pay for the grocery and allow them to calculate the balance, for fraction they can be asked to divide their cookies/cake and write the fraction of the portion eaten by each member, for angles they can observe the objects around them like the window, door, furniture etc and count the number of angles formed and will learn to identify their type. This play way method will help them to strengthen the concept.


Make it hands-on: Kids often learn best when they can do something with their hands, so try to make math concepts hands-on as much as possible. For example, you could use blocks or manipulatives to teach about addition and subtraction, abacus is the best way to teach number system.



Practice, practice, practice: Just like with any skill, practice is key to mastering math. Encourage kids to practice math concepts at home by giving them math problems to solve or by playing math games.

Show interest and enthusiasm: Lastly, be excited and enthusiastic about math. If you show kids that math is fun and interesting, they're more likely to be excited about learning it.

Math is an important subject and it's essential for children to develop a solid foundation in math to be successful in school and in life. With these tips, you can make math fun and exciting for your kids and help them develop a love for the subject.

  लोक काय म्हणतील ?... आयुष्यातील एक कप्पा असा असतो की , जो उघडून अलगदपणे त्यातील आठवणी त आपणधुंद होऊन जातो. पण त्याच वेळी एक कप्पा असा  खचाखचपणे भरलेला असतो की , तो आपणाला कधीही बाहेर काढावा वाटत नाही. त्यामुळे प्रचंड अगदीकतेने , दुःखाने आपणव्याकुळ होतो ,   परंतु आपण ती गोष्ट कुणालाही सांगू शकत नाही आणि त्यामध्ये तुडुंब भरलेल्या असतो एकच प्रश्न , लोक काय म्हणतील ? लोक काय म्हणतील ?            माणसाचा जन्म झाल्या नंतर समजायला लागल्यापासून ते मरेपर्यंत सगळ्यात विध्वंसक , त्रासदायक ठरणारा व प्रत्येकाला आयुष्यामध्ये कधी ना कधी सातत्याने छळणारा एकच प्रश्न तो म्हणजे   लोक काय म्हणतील ?          खरोखरच आयुष्यभर आपण या प्रश्नात इतके अकंठ बुडालेले असतो की लोक काय म्हणतील या प्रश्नातील अनेक गोष्टीत आपणच हरवून जातो. आयुष्यामध्ये आहे या ठिकाणी थांबून ; थोडे मागे वळून पाहिले तर आपणास असे लक्षात येते की , आपल्या आयुष्यातले अनेक क्षण अगदी सहज ; अलगदपणे निसटून जातात , पुन्हा वेचता न येण...
