This is a sample of Project based learning in Mathematics.Students of Pratima Nayak learned concept of Quadrilaterals by a fun activity Kite making. If you like the idea please comment. pnpratima@gmail.com

2. I inspire my students to innovate, explore and experience
the real life instead of limiting oneself to textbooks. And I
role model that by innovating and exploring different
teaching styles and technological tools to make learning
more meaningful and fun.
