Learning Landscape





Nonprofit group Project H Design has just completed an innovative way of education at the Kutamba AIDS Orphans School in southern Uganda. Project H designs calls this their first "Learning Landscape." It is a playground made out of reclaimed tires in a sandbox, that teaches elementary math concepts using ten interactive games.

"The ten games teach concepts including addition, subtraction, mutiplication, and division, as well as spatial and logical reasoning through individual and team-based competition. In Match Me, for example, students form tow teams. The teacher calls out a math equation, and one student from each team compete against each other to solve the equation, then locate the tire with that number on it, sitting atop the correct tire. The team member who finds the tire first returns to the team's line. The team with whose players remain in the line the longest wins." (www.inhabitat.com)
