Delhi government launches 'Mathematics Winter Camp' to bridge learning gap

Under this mathematic winter camp, students will get the opportunity to work on the challenges faced throughout the academic year

The government of Delhi has launched a ‘Mathematics Winter Camp’ for the city schools on Monday. The camp will be run until January 14. The camp has been launched to bridge the learning gaps induced by the COVID-19 pandemic among students. It is expected that the initiative will supplement the classroom content, improve the learning level of the Class-9 students, act as a brief exam-focused revision and enable students to address foundational concepts.

Under this mathematic winter camp, students will get the opportunity to work on the challenges faced throughout the academic year and the Class 9 students of the schools run by the city government will be provided with additional learning support to strengthen the foundational concepts, Delhi government, advisor, Reena Gupta said.

She said the camp was launched as a small-scale pilot project. "Our students have immense capability and programmes such as the 'Mathematics Winter camp' will create a conducive environment to overcome the fear or phobia of mathematics, generate enthusiasm among students to work hard for their annual examination and be an opportunity to work on learning gaps faced throughout the academic year," Gupta said.

Teachers will also conduct exercises related to the subject and mathematics puzzles to strengthen calculation, integers, unit conversion, divisibility, simplification and revise crucial formulas. Various topics such as number systems, quadrilaterals, menstruation and chapters from the syllabus that continue to be a weak link will be revised considering the contextual needs of students.
