Teaching Aids


Teaching and learning aids have many benefits and these learning and teaching aids are really useful for school going children. The teaching and learning aids helps them to learn everything easily. The words and sentence are too much confusable for the little children and educating them with these types of teaching and learning aids make the teacher’s job easy. Mostly the children under the age of 10 are needs these types of teaching and learning aids because they are so delicate and if teacher teach them with some objects which they can see and touch they will easy grasp everything.
Manipulatives are commonly used in mathematics education. Math education needs to include math modeling and computer implementation of math models (computer simulations). This needs to be taught/learned in a manner that transfers to disciplines outside of math. As an example, suppose that a math teacher is teaching students to use a measuring cylinder. The measuring cylinder is an excellent aid to developing math models of certain types volume measurement problem situation.
 In summary, when a math teacher has children use a virtual manipulative, the math teacher has the opportunity to help students learn some of the underlying ideas of math modeling and computer simulation. This is quite a different goal than merely using the virtual manipulative as a substitute the the real concrete manipulative that it models. The teaching aids  designed will make students think and also  help them learn how maths works in the real world in a way that is fun and engaging.
 As we all know that, today's age is the age of science and technology. The teaching learning programmes have also been affected by it. The process of teaching - learning depends upon the different type of equipment available in the classroom. Every individual has the tendency to forget. Proper use of teaching aids helps to retain more concept permanently. Students can learn better when they are motivated properly through different teaching aids. Teaching aids develop the proper image when the students see, hear taste and smell properly. Teaching aids provide complete example for conceptual thinking. The teaching aids create the environment of interest for the students. Teaching aids helps to increase the vocabulary of the students. Teaching aids also helps the teacher to get sometime and make learning permanent. Even teaching aids provide direct experience to the student.
