AHISR Play and Learn theme based "Math day" was a good experience for our young children. The day was build largely upon their play and the natural relationships between learning and life in their daily activities, interests, and questions.
Children become intensely engaged in play. Pursuing their own purposes, they tend to tackle problems that are challenging enough to be engrossing yet not totally beyond their capacities. Sticking with a problem — puzzling over it and approaching it in various ways — can lead to powerful learning, in addition, when several children grapple with the same problem, they often come up with different approaches, discuss various strategies, and learn from one another. These aspects of play can promote thinking and learning in mathematics as well as in other areas.
Overall the Math day was a huge success and students enjoyed a lot.
