I. Introduction

    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. 

    Learning is in ourself. We can learn by ourself alone and also from other things. And by this hands-on activity, the students will actually learn many things.  It was important for each child to feel successful and accepted, to recognize his/her potential and ability to learn, and to recognize the relevance  of mathematics both within and outside the classroom.
