Implementation of E-Learning Package for Mensuration-A Branch of Mathematics

An e-learning system is increasingly gaining popularity in the academic community because of several benefits of learning anywhere, anyplace and anytime. In the hands of well-trained educators, e-learning technologies can offer powerful new solutions for teaching and learning. The FLIP classroom is the latest learning model now slowly making inroads into the teaching and training in India. This paper describes a tutor (e-learning package) incorporates the idea of Flip model, which teaches about problem solving techniques in Mensuration - a branch of Mathematics. This tutor is aimed at helping the school students strengthen their understanding of the concepts covered in Mensuration. The design part of the tutor consists of: (i) Learning material (ii) Classification of problems (iii) Student module (iv) Teacher module and (v) Reports. The implemented software covers portions of grade 6 to 10 curriculum of Tamilnadu State Board Syllabus. The highlights of the tutor are: a) The teacher plays a major role in defining problems and solution steps. b) Word problems with multiple step solutions.
