It focuses on improving math skills by making learning fun and relevant to everyday life and is taught based on the philosophy of ‘Activity based learning’. It seeks to encourage clarity of thought and the ability to address mathematical problems in day-to-day life. It is an activity-based learning programme that focuses on improving the math skills of children in grades 1-5 by making learning fun. It emphasises on ‘understanding by doing’, and peer learning.

The programme is implemented by provisioning math Teaching Learning Materials (TLMs) to schools, and by providing training and support to teachers in government primary schools. These TLMs are designed to facilitate learning of competencies prescribed in the Karnataka State curriculum.
