Math Lab Impact study unveiled at Springdale Senior School

Nationwide Impact Study shows that MathLab has a positive impact on students’ performance in Mathematics

 Amritsar, Jan. 31 (Punjab Post Bureau) – NIIT, a global leader in Skills and Talent Development unveiled the MathLab Impact Study today at an event organized at Springdale Senior School, Amritsar. A breakthrough initiative based on NCERT curriculum, MathLab Plus by NIIT aims at making the vital subject of mathematics simpler, easier and fun to learn for school students, resulting in improved performance and proficiency in Math results.

The recent NIIT MathLab Impact study, conducted by one of the big four research agencies in 34 schools across 11 states in India to understand the impact of the MathLab both at the quantitative and qualitative levels, highlighted that 20% of children (and adults) suffer from math anxiety. It has been observed that after introduction of MathLab in schools there were multiple changes among the students as well as teachers, in their approach to Math. MathLab helps to increase interest in the subject, develop logical thinking, improves retention of concepts, decreases fear of math and builds up confidence among students through interactive and collaborative learning. The NIIT MathLab Impact study clearly shows that Class X students from MathLab using schools perform distinctly better in Math than students not using MathLab.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Vivek Suman, Regional Manager, NIIT Ltd. said, “NIIT Nguru MathLab is a well-researched solution that ensures the students get a thorough grasp on the subject, thus laying a foundation to initiate students to think, analyze and articulate logically. The MathLab Impact study highlights that this product has added a new dimension to teaching and learning Math.” NIIT Nguru MathLab Plus has been successfully implemented in more than 1500 schools, with over 8000 teachers using the product to teach mathematics to more than 5 lakh students.

MathLab Plus is all about learning, verifying and visualizing mathematical concepts in a ‘fun’ way through educational aids, interactive tools, computer interface and guidance from teachers and NIIT experts. It inspires out of the box thinking and provides an opportunity to explore the valuable knowledge with classmates. With the help of MathLab Plus, teachers can make seemingly complex subjects, easy to understand. MathLab Plus offers multiple teaching and learning aids comprising technology applications, videos, manipulative, measuring instruments, and tables and charts, to schools on the basis of three pillars of ‘Imagine, Investigate and Interact.
