The pandemic COVID 19 has greatly affected the way we teach and learn. As a consequence, technology has become more common in learning environment giving us an opportunity to adapt to changing needs and living conditions.
A better understanding of how students learn mathematics coupled with effective application of mathematical e-learning can enhance meaningful learning of mathematics. Concepts are easily grasped with the help of resources like whiteboard, GeoGebra, Quizizz, MS forms, online games, Padlet, smart board dot fi, PPT’s and crossword puzzles. There are numerous advantages of using videos and animations to illustrate a concept, tips and tricks to learn complicated formulae, application of mathematical laws and theorems in real life. These online resources make the subject more interesting, interactive and enjoyable.
Recording the online classes and making them available to the students is an added advantage. Absent students can refer to it and everyone can refresh their knowledge. Addressing differentiated learning has become more convenient and extra guidance can be easily provided.
E-learning has also opened new pathways for the teachers-as guides facilitators and mentors. It has aided them to make the teaching learning process more effective and more adaptable to need of the hour.
