Project H Design is a social service organization which is endeavoring tirelessly to bring humanity, habitat, happiness and heath to people round the world. This non profit organization has recently come up with an amazing design concept which would revolutionize teaching methods around the world. Learning through stereotyped bookish lessons and stereotyped learning methods can become quite boring for children This truly enlightening concept materialized by Project H Design is that of a learning landscape to teach math to the children.

This amazing design for a learning landscape to teach small children was conceptualized by Dan Grossman and Heleen de Goey. The first learning landscape was built by Project Design H in January 2009 for the students of Kutamba AIDS Orphan school of Uganda. However, new concept of a learning landscape would not only help the impoverished children of that particular school of Uganda but that would make learning more fun and interesting for children all round the world. This is quite a cost effective method too.

This learning landscape uses scarps like discarded car tires to make a grid in the play ground of a school. This grid of tires embedded in the school play ground can be used and adapted to play array mathematical games and enhance the math skills of children between the age group of 6-11. These math games have been specifically designed to teach the basic methods of addition, multiplication, division and subtraction to primary school children. The different math games that can be played with the help of this learning landscape are quite flexible and more and more games can be improvised and added to over time.

Some of the few math games played around this learning landscape which are already proving to be quite attractive for the children are ‘Math musical chairs’ ‘Around the world’ ‘Which one is missing’, etc. The new design concept of a learning landscape   brought forward by Project H design would surely help innumerable children to learn the basic mathematical skills in a stress free way.
