The key takeaways are that a mathematics laboratory provides hands-on activities and experiments to help students understand mathematical concepts in a concrete way. It aims to build interest and confidence in learning mathematics.

Some of the purposes of a mathematics laboratory described in the text are to help students understand concepts through concrete objects and situations, verify geometrical properties using models, build interest and confidence in mathematics, and exhibit the real-world applications of mathematical concepts.

The text describes the mathematics laboratory including furniture, essential equipment, raw materials, concrete models, computers, interactive whiteboards, and mathematics software. Resources like nets, straws, and place value materials are also mentioned.

Mathematics Laboratory
Is a place where students can learn and explore mathematical concepts and verify mathematical facts and theorems through a variety of activities using different materials. These activities may be carried out by the teacher or the student to explore, to learn, to stimulate interest and develop favorable attitude towards mathematics.

Need and purpose of Mathematics Laboratory


Some of the ways in which a Mathematics Laboratory can contribute to the learning of the subject are: It provides an opportunity to students to understand and internalize the basic mathematical concepts through concrete objects and situations.

It enables the students to verify or discover several geometrical properties and facts using models or by paper cutting and folding techniques.
It helps the students to build interest and confidence in learning the subject.

The laboratory provides opportunity to exhibit the relatedness of mathematical concepts with everyday life.

It provides greater scope for individual participation in the process of learning and becoming autonomous learners. It provides scope for greater involvement of both the mind and the hand which facilates cognition. The laboratory allows and encourages the students to think, discuss with each other and the teacher and assimilate the concepts in a more effective manner. It enables the teacher to demonstrate, explain and reinforce abstract mathematical ideas by using concrete objects, models, charts, graphs, pictures, posters, etc.

Design and general layout


A suggested design and general layout of laboratory which can accommodate about 32 students at a time is given here. The design is only a suggestion. The schools may change the design and general layout to suit their own requirements.

Physical infrastructure and materials


It is envisaged that every school will have a Mathematics Laboratory with a general design and layout as indicated with suitable change, if desired, to meet its own requirements. The minimum materials required to be kept in the laboratory may include furniture, all essential equipment, raw materials and other necessary things to carry out the activities included in the document effectively. The quantity of different materials may vary from one school to another depending upon the size of the group.

Human Resources
It is desirable that a person with minimum qualification of graduation (with mathematics as one of the subjects) and professional qualification of Bachelor in Education be made incharge of the Mathematics Laboratory. He/she is expected to have special skills and interest to carry out practical work in the subject. The concerned mathematics teacher will accompany the class to the laboratory and the two will jointly conduct the desired activities. A laboratory attendant or laboratory assistant with suitable qualification and desired knowledge in the subject can be an added advantage.

Time Allocation for activities


It is desirable that about 15% - 20% of the total available time for mathematics be devoted to activities. Proper allocation of periods for laboratory activities may be made in the time table. The total available time may be divided judiciously between theory classes and practical work
