如果使用面向活动（动手）的教学方法，尽早向儿童传达基本的数学和科学概念，儿童甚至可以在接触正规学校课程之前有效地学习数学和科学。数学和科学是实践和活动导向的，最好通过探究（Okebukola在Mandor，2002年）和通过物体和符号的智能操作（Ekwueme，2007年）来学习。本研究旨在探讨动手教学法对学生学习成绩的影响，以及学生对这种活动教学法的看法。一般目的是评估影响，并提供另一个平台，让学生展示他们对所学知识的理解，而不是通常的笔试和记忆公式。该活动的重点是测量和几何（每个领域有25%的问题）和混合物（纯物质和不纯物质）的分离。本研究分析了学生在实践教学前后的前测和后测成绩，以及学生的访谈结果。研究显示，学生在数学和基础科学活动方面的表现和参与都有积极的改善，教师也愿意使用动手教学法向学生传达数学和科学概念。
Children can learn mathematics and sciences effectively even before being exposed to formal school curriculum if basic Mathematics and Sciences concepts are communicated to them early using activity oriented (Hands-on) method of teaching. Mathematics and Science are practical and activity oriented and can best be learnt through inquiry (Okebukola in Mandor, 2002) and through intelligent manipulation of objects and symbols (Ekwueme, 2007). The study tries to ascertain the impact of Hands-on-approach on the students’ academic performance and the students’ opinion about this activity-based methodology. The general objective is to assess the impact and provide another platform for students to display their understanding of what they have learnt other than the usual written tests with memorized formulae. The activity focuses on Mensuration and Geometry (with 25% questions in each area) and separation of mixtures (pure and impure substances). This paper includes the analysis of the feedback of the pre-test and post-test scores of the students before and after the Hands-on-approach was given as well as students’ interview responses. The study showed positive improvement on both the students’ performance and participation on mathematics and basic science activities and willingness on the part of the teachers to use Hands-on-approach in communicating mathematical and scientific concepts to their students.
