REAP NGO Partners with Target Publications to Dethrone Maths Anxiety

Empower Children and Eliminate Maths Anxiety

MUMBAI: A wave of excitement swept through Reach Education Action Programme (REAP) NGO in Kalwa as over 70 children from grades 1 & 2, along with their educators, prepared for a thrilling Maths workshop hosted by the esteemed Target Publications Pvt. Ltd., Thane. REAP delivers quality education to marginalized and underprivileged children with a special focus on girls. As a token of their support, Target Publications provided each child with a new notebook.

The workshop, led by the proficient Miss Payal Mehta, a 14-year teaching veteran with experience in teacher training across India, was a delightful blend of learning and fun. Miss Mehta’s engaging session broke the ice with a creative activity related to Maths, followed by an application-based exploration of basic shapes and symmetry. Children not only participated but also explored new ways of learning about shapes. As Miss Mehta said, “Learning should be fun and engaging and the children certainly had a blast as they explored new ways of learning about shapes.”

The workshop sparked a newfound enthusiasm for Maths among the children as the resource person not only unveiled clever tricks to solve problems in seconds but also employed joyful activities to banish any fear of the subject.

Tushar Chaudhari, Executive Director of Target Publications, said, “Our workshop focused on symmetrical shapes to demonstrate the beauty and patterns hidden within Maths. By exploring symmetry, we wanted to inspire children to see the world through a mathematical lens, appreciating the order and harmony that exists around us. We hope this experience will spark their curiosity and encourage them to discover the fascinating world of geometry.”

Joy Fernandes, Director of REAP, NGO, echoed Chaudhari’s sentiments: “We are incredibly grateful for this wonderful workshop for our children. Both the students and educators thoroughly enjoyed the learning experience. The key takeaway is that Maths isn’t a daunting subject – there are fun ways to learn tricks, solve problems, or any concept in Maths. By nurturing this love for Maths from a young age, we can ensure that children approach the subject with confidence, not anxiety.”
