This project looks at children and tries to understand the difficulties faced by children in understanding the concept of area. Children find it rather difficult to appreciate the concept of area and its implications in real life, even after two years of being introduced to the concept. Children who are exposed to all kinds of virtual stimulations through television, the Internet, and computer games seem to be disconnected from the real world. Their knowledge base is a collection of facts dished out by these sources. These children find school and subjects like mathematics and science insipid and inconsequential due to the absence of powerful stimuli. The project aims to wean children away from their virtual world, introduce them to the real world, and make it of immediate consequence to them by making it a hands-on activity with elements of fun and playfulness.
