The Objective
Imagine that before each math lesson at school, you were shown a funny animation of the math concept that you're about to learn. Would you understand it more? Would you remember what it means? The goal for this project was to create an animation which would teach kids the radian concept in a funny and entertaining way that kids will remember for a long time. The long term goal would be to create a library of over 1,000 unique animations which taught math concepts, and distribute them to elementary and secondary schools. The technique of the schools at the moment is a very procedural form. Learning the concept for the test, and then kids forgetting a month or even a week later after taking the test. With these animations, we hope that kids will be able to remember these math concepts for a very long time, not just for a test! How will we achieve it? By demonstrating the concept graphically. Not every student is the same. Many students benefit from visual learning. That's why we are trying to show the importance of the conceptual methods of thinking and teaching through this animation project. This project is led by Dr. Mario Eraso, who was my SYIP supervisor!
