Changing Mindsets: How Teachers Can Make Math Meaningful and Relatable Every equation carries a story waiting to be explored. At VidyaGyan School, maths is brought to life through approaches that connect logic, creativity, and real-world understanding. It becomes a narrative linking learning with life. This reflects modern education, where learning goes beyond textbooks to empower students and support broader efforts toward youth empowerment in India and a more progressive generation. Ms. Tanvi Bhutani’s Approach to Teaching Maths Ms. Tanvi Bhutani, the mathematics coordinator for grades 6 to 8 at VidyaGyan school, believes education should feel close to learners. Her lessons draw from her love for fiction, helping her blend stories with mathematical concepts. This approach supports high-quality education by combining imagination with logic, guiding students to think, analyse, and respond. In schools with hostel facilities, such meaningful learning helps students grow in confidence, independence, and social awareness. Real-Life Learning in Action Teaching students to determine the nutritional content of the food they eat each day was one of her worthwhile initiatives. For days, the class watched the mess and recorded the amount of food that was wasted. They discussed their findings, worked through the numbers, and reflected on their habits. Over time, wastage reduced, and
students became mindful. This project demonstrated how practical learning can build responsibility, awareness, and a deeper sense of accountability among students, contributing in its own way to the transformation of India through conscious and informed youth. Teaching with Purpose and Joy Ms. Tanvi feels joy every time she enters the school. For her, teaching is not just about being professional or personal. It is about giving back to the people around her. Her classroom proves that when students see meaning in what they study, they engage deeply and think clearly. Maths, in her hands, becomes a journey where every problem has a beginning, a thoughtful process, and a solution that feels fair and clear to all. Conclusion Changing mindsets in maths starts with connection, care, and creativity. When lessons are linked to real life and human feelings, students learn with purpose. Ms. Tanvi Bhutani shows that meaningful learning builds thoughtful individuals who care for their surroundings and grow with confidence. FAQs Q1. What is transformational education at VidyaGyan?
