Detailed Description

Mathematics is a subject that is very closely related to, or rather, derived from, real life. Everybody practises math in each and every step, with or without realising it. For example, A vegetable vendor who might not have had any formal education uses it to sell the goods. In such cases, math is a functional concept that is being developed through repeated practise.

The formal education system also understands its importance and provides it in a very textual form in a book to young minds. The textual form might sometimes fail to help a child visualise how the same given problem relates to the environment. Since the text and the language also define understanding the concept to the core, this can be an issue in a multilingual classroom where the language used in the book is difficult to encode.

Therefore, the project aims to break the barriers of the book language and provide them with a supportive medium in real-life scenarios. The approach involves using elements from the child’s environment and creating them into deliverables such that they are interesting, surprising, and practical at the same time.
