I-math is a revolutionary program which aims to imbibe lateral thinking abilities in young children. The program caters to children in the age group of 3 years to 7 years. The program is based on the learning pattern in growing children. I-math focuses on developing and strengthening basic skills like observation, lateral-thinking, reasoning, objective analysis etc. These skills form the foundations for learning and understanding complex mathematical concepts.

Once these skill sets are strengthened, the understanding of mathematics is more on logic and reasoning than on rote methodology making mathematics not only interesting but also fun. Any form of learning which works towards making learning fun and enjoyable, would work towards eliminating the dreaded “math phobia” rampant in today’s young learners.

As there are different forms of teaching are there are different forms of learners too. No two children learn at the same speed or in the same methodology. There are majorly three types of learners, namely Visual, Auditory, and Kinaesthetic.

As the names suggest Visual and Auditory learners experience learning through their sense of sight and hearing while Kinaesthetic learners learn best through their sense of touch or feel..

The uniqueness of the program is that it caters to all types of learners by taking the child through a complete process of sensorial learning. The program has three stages of learning.

In the first stage of learning, the child is introduced to a concept in an activity or story form. Here, the child learns by being part of the activity which means auditory and kinaesthetic learners benefit.

The second stage of learning happens when the child performs the concept on the board with the use of charts and work sheets at the head of the class. This form of learning benefits visual learners and fosters a sense of achievement and leadership in a young child. Motivation, which is an important ingredient of learning, is an automatic by product of this form of learning.

The final stage of learning happens when the child works the concepts in the specially designed work books. This stage of learning is the verificational learning, where the concept, which so far was 3-Dimensional, is now made 2-Dimensional.

The three stages of learning in the I-math program, fosters holistic learning by taking the child through the process of concrete or tangible form to abstract or intangible nature of the subject.
