| The Mathematics Support Programme makes math fun for children. Simple concepts like numbers, place value, mathematical functions are taught using an activity based method with tools like a counting board and number grids, which help children comprehend mathematics. The programme introduces creativity and allows the child to imagine and creatively explore different ways to arrive at a solution. |

Children who require remedial intervention with mathematics are identified by the teachers and enrolled into the programme. Once enrolled, the children go through 20 sessions to familiarize themselves with the basic concepts and the new tools in the math kit.
After completing 20 sessions, the children are administered a baseline test where they are assessed on the four math competencies, namely, numeracy - comprising of number concepts and place value; four operations, quantitative reasoning and mental math.
The main objective of this testing to measure the children at their 'entry level' and therefore to measure the impact of the programme at the end of 60 sessions.
A similar test on the four competencies is given at the end of 60 sessions.
A comparative analysis between the 20th and 60th day testing would be conducted to study the impact of the programme.
