Kinaesthetic Learning Approach

Every child matters. So does his needs and expectations. To recognise every student of the class as auditory, visual or kinaesthetic is very important for a teacher. It not only enables her to teach the students in an appropriate manner but also helps the students gain more understanding without any struggle.
I used a Kinaesthetic activity in my maths lesson. I asked them to cut two similar triangles of any type. They were supposed to prove that the sum of angles in a triangle is always equal to 180 degrees. They cut the angles of one of the two triangles and tries to put them together. The three angles when put together made a straight line having straight angle (180 degrees). Students tried the activity with different triangles and proved the sum through small practical.

I personally felt that students learnt more and figured out ways to present their results in an innovative manner. Overall it was enjoyable activity for all of the students.
