=Setting up a Mathematics Laboratory=
Sometimes students may view mathematics as dull, boring or difficult. Students may think that mathematics means to ‘get something right’ or to ‘get something wrong’. When they get it wrong they think that they are not good enough for mathematics and lose interest in learning. On the other hand a few students learn enough tricks to ‘get something right’ to pass the exam. However when a teacher has tried to teach maths in a different way, say through activities and games, it can make the process of learning more interesting and effective. The setting up of a mathematics laboratory aids this effort.
A mathematics laboratory is a place where we find a collection of games, puzzles, teaching aids and other materials for carrying out activities. These are meant to be used both by the student by their own and together with their teacher to explore the world of mathematics, to discover, to learn and to develop an interest in mathematics. Although mathematics is not an experimental science in the way in which physics, chemistry and biology are, a mathematics laboratory can
contribute greatly to the learning of mathematical concepts and skills.
