Visual mathematics: An implementation to students in an indigenous community and a sub urban area

Visual mathematics is a mathematical exploration involving the senses and provides students with models and images for concepts, enhancing mathematics learning. Hands-on activities are central to educe and nurture students’ logic, observational skills, and habits. Visual mathematics may also be useful for communicating mathematical concepts that minimizes the dependence on culture and language. We propose two modules on visual mathematics for year 4 elementary school students, the first in the arithmetic operation of fractions, and the second in basic planar figures, their perimeters, and areas. The construction is not only appealing figuratively but more importantly, it maintains precise mathematical constructions.
