What are heuristics?

Find out how we teach students
to solve complex Maths problems.

 

 

A heuristic is a process or method. In Maths, a heuristic is a method that is used to solve a Maths problem. Students need to use heuristics or problem-solving methods to manage problem sums and word problems.

 

 

 

 



 


The Difference Between the Model Method and the Best Method

Exploring Different Methods to a Maths Problem Sum


It is important to us that our students know how to pick and choose the most efficient method or heuristic to solve any question they encounter. 

That’s why, in our classrooms, we don’t believe in rote learning. Teachers demonstrate different methods for solving each problem, not just the model method. 

This helps students to think more deeply about their analysis of the question and each step of their working, which is part of reflective learning.

Parent Stories

 


Parent Stories


"At TLL, the topics were interesting every week and it motivates students to think and create more."


 

“Harshit has been very happy in The Learning Lab. What he liked most was that content was very interesting. Mostly, topics in school and everywhere … a child loses interest in developing writing skills.

At TLL, the topics were interesting every week and it motivates students to think and create more. Harshit's oral communication has also improved and he is more confident in oral exams now.

Overall, he has had a great time at The Learning Lab.”

-SACHIN MITTAL
