MATHEMATICS LABORATORY

 

A Mathematics Laboratory is a room where students and teachers can explore mathematical concepts through activities and instructional materials. The goal of a mathematics laboratory is to help students understand mathematical concepts through concrete experiences, and to develop an interest in the subject. 

Here are some benefits of a Mathematics Laboratory: 

• Problem-solving: Students can learn through self-exploration and discovery.

• Real-world connections: Students can see how mathematical concepts relate to everyday life.

• Learning by doing: Students can learn mathematics through activities, rather than rote memorization.
• Concrete experiences: Students can use concrete objects and situations to understand mathematical concepts.

Some examples of materials and equipment found in a mathematics laboratory include: 

Models, Graphs and charts, Weighing balance, Drilling machine, Scientific calculator, Graph sheets, and Mathematical set.

Some tips for setting up a mathematics laboratory include: 

• Gathering related equipment in one place

• Arranging benches and tables to allow for free movement

• Hanging relevant pictures and charts

• Constructing shelves for keeping and demarcating materials
