At W. W. Sawyer Memorial, Pune
W. W. Sawyer : ‘The best way to learn geometry is to follow the road which the human race originally followed:....

Do things, make things, notice things, arrange things,
and only then
reason about things.’
This applies to all mathematics learning.

Universal Active Math Pedagogy
Learning by Understanding, in fact, Learning only by Understanding
The Chinese Proverb :I hear, I forget;I see, I remember;I do, I understand.

‘To master anything from football to relativity requires effort. But it does not require unpleasant efforts, drudgery. The main task of any teacher is to make a subject interesting.’
W.W. Sawyer

‘In discovering something for ourselves, we have a sense of freedom and conquest. In memorizing something that another person tells us and that we do not understand, we are slaves.’
W. W. Sawyer

Children solve a problem in things-language and then translate their understanding into alphanumeric language.
This method builds their confidence.
UniversalActiveMath (UAM) isJoyful Learning

UAM is Creativity. Children discover patterns and relations between shape, size and number.

‘Complete success would mean that every individual felt, “I enjoyed the mathematics that I had time to learn. If I ever need or want to learn some more, I shall not be afraid to do so.”’ W. W. Sawyer
