Mathegramming Academy aims to build Responsibility and Rigor in children and generate Results through mentoring and mastery of Mathematics through projects in programming/electronics, and through leadership in action. Mathegramming Academy is a program of C3STREAM Land Designs, Auroville
Philosophies Underlying Mathegramming Academy
The philosophy underlying the
approach for C3SLD is based on the
principles of progressive and
constructivist thinkers like Jerome Bruner, and Seymour Papert in the United States, and Sri
Aurobindo in India. The philosophy
of Sri Aurobindo of the integral development
of the child and emphasizes self-knowledge
which the National Education Policy
is based on stating “knowledge is a deep-seated
treasure and education helps in its
manifestation as the perfection which is already
within an individual.” The philosophy creates
guiding principles as teachers and in how we engage with children.
MATHEGRAMMING ACADEMY'S baby step Collaboration with VAASAVI INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL - CBSE in training teachers on Mathematics through programming and leadership program .
The three principles of true education by Sri Aurobindo are:
Nothing can be taught which can be linked to the constructivist theory of not forcing knowledge into a child.The mind needs to be consulted in its own growth indicating that the role of a teacher is not to mould or hammer a child into the form desired by the adult. The teacher is a guide, or mentor that supports and encourages a child in the process of learning, enabling them to evolve toward perfectionFrom near to far – which is to work from what is tangible and accessible to children to what is abstract to them
These principles guide our
work at C3SLD where Mathegramming is codifying the work that has been done with children over the last 10 years.
A session on
GeoGebra tools by Mathegramming Academy:
GeoGebra is a free and open-source interactive mathematics software that allows users to create and manipulate mathematical models, graphs, and figures. Teachers at STEM Land have already been using GeoGebra for some classroom demonstrations, and the Mathegramming Academy presented a session on GeoGebra that would step up their ability to interact and engage with children and create interactive projects and 3D models.
Dharani presented how to create a GeoGebra activity and then a classroom for students to be able to do tasks and for the instructor to be able to observe the progress in real-time. Dharani created a classroom with many activities and then one that let someone work with a GeoGebra sheet. The rest of the session was done in this classroom which allowed everyone to s
