Culture through English B: Math education in India・インドの数学教育

Hello!



How are you? The picture at the top is a multiplication table (九九の表). It is one of many ways that multiplication is taught in schools in a number of countries. 

Before we go further, here are the board notes for our class on 10/30



Now let's look further at our topic!

Activity/homework

Look at the video below. It's an elementary school math teacher (小学校数学の講師) showing patterns that children can follow to learn multiplication tables. It's in Hindi (ヒンデュ語), but you can follow the patterns if you look carefully. 

How did you learn multiplication tables in school? Was it anything like this? 




(If you have any trouble seeing this video clip, go to this link here, or look on YouTube for "How math is taught in India," or paste in this URL: https://youtu.be/EIYPGfcCab0)  


What do you think of this method? 

Have fun talking about this! 

See you next class!
