Understand the Difference
between Conceptual learning
and memorization in Math
About i-Maths
• i-Maths is a leading early childhood education program designed in
accordance with how children learn Mathematics and aim to foster
creativity and lateral thinking abilities in young children. Our
early learning center caters to children in the age group of 3 to 7
years.
• i-Maths, a globally successful early childhood education program,
provides children an ideal platform to learn by systematically
guiding them through various modes of learning such as Sensorial,
Kinesthetic, and Visual. Our early learning center methodologies not
only help keep the process fun-filled and interactive but also makes
learning deep-rooted and lasting.
• It consciously shifts focus from providing children just arithmetic
or ‘number’ skills. It enhances:
• Observation
• Logical Thinking
• Reasoning
• Analysis
• Math is an essential part of our lives and it can be seen
everywhere: from the time we wake up in the morning until
we go to bed at night. Whether it’s calculating the amount
of money we need for groceries, figuring out how much time
it will take to get to work, or deciphering recipes, math
is a fundamental tool that helps us make sense of the
world around us. Learning math can also help us develop
problem-solving skills and logical thinking which can be
useful in everyday life. Early learning centers help kids
to develop crucial math skills at an early age. Being able
to apply mathematical principles to real-life situations
can help them make more informed decisions and be better
prepared for whatever life throws our way.
These centers offer interactive activities for preschoolers to
practice and enhance their problem-solving skills with fun math
games and puzzles. They also provide teachers with the tools they
need to effectively teach math in the classroom. Conceptual
understanding in math is the ability to make connections between
different concepts and see how they are related. It involves
recognizing patterns, seeing relationships between numbers, and
being able to solve problems with multiple steps. With math
activities for preschoolers, children can gain an understanding
of basic mathematical concepts as well as develop skills in
problem-solving, critical thinking, and creative thinking.
Through hands-on activities such as counting objects, sorting
shapes, and playing with number puzzles and games, children can
learn to apply their conceptual understanding of math to real-
world situations. Memorization is a mathematical technique where
students learn to memorize facts and equations without
understanding the underlying concepts. While it may seem like an
effective way to learn math, it is actually not recommended for
young children. This is because they are unable to understand
the context surrounding the mathematical equations and facts
which can lead to confusion and frustration when learning more
complex concepts later on. Memorization and conceptual learning are
two very different approaches to math learning, and each has its own
set of benefits and drawbacks.
• While memorization can be useful for taking tests or quickly
recalling information, conceptual understanding is much more
useful in helping students solve problems. Conceptual
understanding requires students to think critically, create
connections with other concepts, and build upon previous
knowledge.The classroom evaluation provides evidence of student
conceptual understanding.The student evaluation provides evidence
of student conceptual understanding. At i-Maths, conceptual
learning is more preferred as it involves helping students
understand the underlying concepts developed in a lesson, rather
than simply memorizing facts and formulas. It encourages critical
thinking and allows children to apply the knowledge they gain
from studying math to solving problems in real life. By
understanding how mathematics works at a conceptual level,
children are able to make connections between various topics and
use that knowledge for problem-solving purposes.
• Mathematics is a fundamental part of life that helps children
develop essential problem solving and analytical skills. At i-
Maths, we believe in the importance of conceptual learning for
math education. Our approach to teaching math is designed to help
your child build a better understanding of different math
subjects, while also developing the necessary skills to become
successful in their future. i-Maths provides various activities
for preschoolers so they can explore and learn math at an early
age. Our learning center also has activities that are tailored
towards older children to ensure they can easily understand
mathematics concepts and apply them to their everyday lives.
Through our innovative approach, your child will gain a better
grasp on all aspects of mathematics—from basic arithmetic to more
complex algebraic equations—helping them reach their potential in
any academic endeavor.
