Teaching Numerals through Rhyme( 20th September,2016)

Teaching Numerals through Rhyme 

Learning turn out to be meaningful and exciting when offered through several modes. Therefore, I used ICT to enhance their knowledge on Counting Forward and Backward in Mathematics for Preprimary students. Counting on and counting backward are the vital skills to help young learners to set foundation for addition and subtraction later. Accordingly, I selected a rhyme on counting on and counting back which was used during the closure of the lesson that helped the learners revise the lesson easily by singing the rhyme.  Young children enjoy rhymes where learning becomes amusing that aid to promote active learning.

The rhyme was played in laptop and subsequently it was presented to the students in their classroom through the OHP. I could literally see and feel the excitement that most children exhibited as I said that we will sing a rhyme on counting numbers. The learning was enjoyable and fun when the lesson was presented through integration of ICT in our classroom.

At the end of the lesson the learners exhibited the desire and keenness for learning the next lesson. Effective learning happens when the learners are keen to learn which activate their brain for interactive and meaningful learning.

Last but not the least, I would like to urge every teacher to productively incorporate ICT application into teaching learning process to reap its immense benefits. It can truly boost the zeal for learning of the 21st century ICT savvy learners.  Integration of ICT in classroom teaching and learning can reduce the burden on teachers and motivate students to learn any discipline with lot of pleasure as well as help achieve the intended goal of education system at large.
