Conceptual learning- And what is that??
“You can teach a student a lesson for a day; but if you can teach him to learn by creating curiosity, he will continue the learning process as long as he lives.” -Clay P. Bedford
Oh yeah!!It happens here.
Students try to relate everything to real life and learn with a thought “Why”??
The same thing goes with NUMBERS too.
It happened that Paul Erdos, a Hungarian mathematician was once asked “Why are numbers beautiful? “
He replied “It's like asking why Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony is beautiful. If you don't see why, someone can't tell you. I know numbers are beautiful. If they aren't beautiful, nothing is.”
And rejoicing these beautiful numbers is not restricted to just notebooks and calculations, but through a varied range of activities in Sancta Maria.
Have a look at our kids enjoying numbers with a “Ganith mala”, Garland of beads.
“Music is the pleasure the human mind experiences from counting without being aware that it is counting”-Gottfried Leibniz
So let’s enjoy listening to this beautiful music…
