Mathematical Kids About the Educator Objectives of the project Mr Azhar Sheik Dawood Educator Mathematics School: SARM State Secondary School   Educational Profile: Bsc Mathematics from University of Mauritius Technology profile: Conversant with Office365, Sharepoint, Azure. Career Profile: Started teaching in 2010. Currently teaches age group 11 to 18 years. Has been awarded MIE expert in 2014. Objectives of the project “Mathematical Kids" is about applying what we learn in the classroom on simple mathematical concepts in everyday life to become a 21st century learner. Students would be requested to work in groups and come up with a PowerPoint presentation as well as dynamic excel files on angles, triangulation and trigonometry. They would peer tutor using interactive whiteboard. students would then prepare a mouse mischief and carry out fun self-evaluation with MCQs, drawing & matching.  Xbox with Kinect will then be used for the same topic. Dr Kawashima's Body and Brain game will be used to develop the student's logic, critical thinking, problem solving skills, fast thinking skills, spatial orientation and knowledge building skills. Students engage in Fun learning to develop twenty first century skills by using Kodu and its pre-loaded games for math calculations.  Star chart is used to calculate angles through triangulation to understand how astronomy is related to simple math concepts. students would use Ms Excel to create a dynamic report on angles between the stars.They would collaborate among themselves even outside the classroom using Skype as a communication tool to remain always connected while preparing their assignments. After peer tutoring with their own classmates, they would share their knowledge with other classes of the school. The project will also be shared with students of two other secondary schools and one primary school. Bing in the classroom is used as the search engine in inquiry based learning. All research work is carried out using this tool to sharpen their search results.
