Kidz Lab

Hello all.I hope you are all well and healthy. The COVID times have been a lot difficult for all of us. That's why, I would like to share something motivating.

We, at Kidzlab, have been using a very un-traditional way of teaching and nurturing talents for kids for about 3 years now in Eindhoven. We are proud to share that our techniques have shown tremendous results. We would like to share one such small success. A mathematical concept of solving Equations - has been a nightmare for most of us in school. The reason being that we were just asked to limit our understanding to find the value of 'x'. We were hardly shown any of its real life applications.

We introduced the topic of Equations to kids of 8 years old but in a very illustrative way of just asking them how much weight should be added to balance the weighing scale. Kids really took interest in the game and unknowingly they were solving linear equations in two variables. They even asked us for more challenging questions as they were not finding 'x' but visualizing the power of Equations. The age of 8-12 years in kids plays an important role in developing interest and motivation among kids for Maths. That's the reason we focus on this age group.

It really depends how the concept is explained to kids. You might think it would be too much for kids of 8 years to realize what is 3x + 2x. Let's look how Kidzlab approaches :

Kidzlab : Can anyone tell me what is 3x + 2x equal to ?
Tom (a fictitious kid, 8 years) : That is so difficult for us. We don't know what it means ?
Kidzlab : If I give you 300 euros and then I give you additional 200 euros. How much money do you have ?
Tom : 500 euros .. Of course !
Kidzlab : We are very happy with your answer and now decided to give you 3000 euros. Maybe an additional 2000 euros. How much do you have now ?
Tom : 5000 euros.. When do I get the money ?
Kidzlab : Ahahaa.. who knows maybe soon enough! Now try to replace 'x' in 3x + 2x with thousand. What do you get ?
Tom : Isn't it 5x ?
Kidzlab : That's absolutely correct ! Was it difficult ?
Tom : Not at all ! One question : When do I get 5000 euros ? :p

Even could not stop these bright minds from appearing in Dutch National Kangaroo 2020. So rewarding for Eindhoven KidzLab who spent an year to train and a month to arrange it. Xploring knowledge to it's best 👏

Hello all,
I hope everyone is healthy and doing well. Does your kids like solving challenging logical puzzles ? Does the closing of school affecting his/her study or focus ? Is he (or she) having some problems in understanding the online content of school or in general needs any assistance in Maths ?

What we do ?

Eindhoven kidz lab has been organising interactive Maths session for about 2 years now. In our session, we teach Maths tricks, give them logical puzzles and play some games to help them explore practical Mathematics. In this way, we motivate them in learning and understanding application of Maths. We have a session of maximum 5-6 kids to ensure private attention to every kid. The kids in our session are of age between 8-14 years old.

Because of corona measures, we have started online sessions as well. Apart from fun Maths, we are also helping out kids for their school problems as well. Try us out and let your kid have the experience themselves. First session is FREE!

Is your school conducting the Kangaroo contest next week? Most schools have cancelled because of less interest. If your child is still wants to participate then Eindhoven KidzLab in association with W4-Kangoeroe is now officially conducting the Kangaroo Contest for 2020.

You need to register at https://forms.gle/yq59F25vergWeD5M6.

Please find the payment link in 'Description' of the google form. Please find the date, timing and venue details in the google form.

We will take extra steps to enable the contest amid the Corona spread. For example every student will be sitting one chair apart from others. Everyone will wash hands at the start of the contest. The registration is at First Come First Serve basis. The registration will close at Sunday 15 March at Midnight. More details are in the registration link above.

(For those who haven't heard about Kangaroo exam before : Kangaroo is an international mathematical competition where over 50 countries are represented. There are twelve levels of participation, ranging from grade 1 to grade 12. The key competence is tested by Mathematical Kangaroo is logical combination, not just pure knowledge of formulas.)

Registration for Official Kangaroo Contest Eindhoven KidzLab is now officially conducting the Kangaroo Contest for 2020. To register a student answer the following questions and pay the registration Fee (15 euros) to reserve your seat. There are only 20 seats offered on First Come First Serve Basis.
