What
is hands-on activity? Is it helpful to the lives of a students? Hands-on
activity is an instructional technique where students play with and manipulate
classroom materials to help develop an understanding of the concepts. It
exercises the students in a particular area especially in Mathematics. It
enables the students to think more and analyze and with that, their mental
aspects will develop more.
We know that by doing we will learn something.This hands-on activity is
particularly by doing and by that, the students will actually learn. It also
enhances and refreshes their minds in a particular area that they tend to
forget. Hands-on activity involves fun activities that promote learning to the
students. The students will develop more positive attitudes towards
mathematics. Mathematics has been traditionally viewed as a discipline where
success is limited to a minority as opposed to a majority of children.
Through group interaction, the children were involved in the socialization
process of dialoging with one another about, and through, math. Working in
groups, the children learned about math, themselves, and others as they
problem-solved together and recorded their findings. Students having limited
experience working in cooperative groups, limited problem-solving
opportunities, and limited success in math required more structure and
supervision in the cooperative learning setting.
