Welcome to

the world’s largest K - 12

STEM* nurturance programme!(* Science, Technology, Engineering & Math)

How should we

nurture a great

education

system?

There is only one way forward –

providing the right foundations!

The FIVE* FOUNDATIONAL

conditions of ‘true education’ are :*these five make a great start & offer 80% of ideal solution (the 80:20 principle)

FOUNDATION

2Education is

overall

development!

FOUNDATION

1Every child is

unique!

FOUNDATION

3Conceptual

clarity=

academic excellence!

FOUNDATION

5

World-class

Peership –

secret of

world-class

education!

FOUNDATION

4

‘Equal

learning

opportunities’

– a must!

Foundation 1

EVERY student is UNIQUE!

To be simple, the content and

class-wise prescription of syllabus

(and assessment) cannot be

more ‘unscientific’ and may be

among the more crippling K-12

educational afflictions.

Foundation 1

Making it real on the ground!

The following three are artificial, institution-centric solutions for educating our children:

1. Classes of 20-60 students based on age

2. Textbooks as THE bible for every student ‘

3. Useless’ assessment outcome – ‘% or grade’

Back to the drawing board to put an end to it all!

MMM is a learner-centric ‘classless’ syllabus and

assessment system for math, science of VI–X !

Foundation 1

How does MMM solve it?

EVERY child can ‘go back in class’ to start from

his/her actual academic level or ‘go higher in

class’ to fulfill his/her actual potential !

Foundation 1

How does MMM solve it? (Contd…)

We’re the world’s first Natural Learning System !

Foundation 1


Foundation 2

Education is overall development!

Education has always been

integrated development of all the

intelligences, including academic.

However, the over-supplementation of academics has eaten away all the time, attention and resources for investment in all-round development.

Foundation 2

Education is overall development! (Contd…)

Foundation 2


Academic excellence has to be achieved within ‘a

part of the day’ and good time must be allocated for

everything else too –

dance, music, sports, reading, entertainment, technol

ogy …

Academic learning needs to be ‘simplified’.

Completing even ‘ONE concept a

day’ of math and science will keep

the ‘weaknesses’ away.

Foundation 2


Can finish the entire 5-year, class VI – X

syllabus in less than 2 years, spending only

about 30 minutes daily!

Foundation 2


MMM helps to create time, attention and

money (saved) for investment in all-

round development.

Foundation 2


Foundation 3

Conceptual clarity = academic excellence

Academic excellence is always

reflected in the expressed erudition

and never in marks/grades.

Erudition = Language + Logical

thinking

And the building blocks of logic are

CONCEPTS!

Everything – reading, assessment,

reporting and remedial – should be

around clearly identified concepts

in each chapter.

The entire syllabus should be

divided into concepts.

Foundation 3


MMM has uniquely broken down VI – X

‘CBSE math & science syllabus’ into

about 950 concepts.

Foundation 3


Each concept is extensively

presented at 3 levels –

Foundation 3


Critical prior knowledge (Level 0)

Knowledge of the concept (Level 1)

Basic application of the concept (Level 2)

Foundation 3


The world is ‘not fair’ – you may not be in the

best school of the world but in your career you

will have to compete with the best in the world!

Foundation 4

‘Equal Learning Opportunities’!

NO SCHOOL TO BE LEFT BEHIND in ensuring

world-class educational processes and

resources for EVERY student.

Foundation 4

‘Equal Learning Opportunities’! (Contd…)

Earlier, you couldn’t do anything about

‘unequal educational opportunities’;

‘Equal educational opportunity for all’

may indeed be the biggest gain of

Internet.

But we haven’t yet harnessed Internet

innovatively enough to empower every

learner!

Foundation 4


MMM guarantees equal opportunity through –

1. Interesting reading content

2. Multimedia, practical content

3. Strong diagnostics for self-remedial‘Automated’ planning of learning transactions

Foundation 4


World-class education is all about the quality of peers! IITs, IIMs, Caltech, MIT, Harvard … are ALL

about enrolling world’s best students.

Foundation 5

Quality of peers!

In fact, most of them have put their lectures in public domain attesting that the students join the

world-class institutions for the peers in classrooms!

Foundation 5

Quality of peers! (Contd…)

Foundation 5


‘Beg, borrow or even steal a seat’ to be in

the company of ‘best batchmates’.

It’s not for all, however.

Internet empowers us to bring together the

best on a single platform for creating most

powerful learning opportunities through

peers.

Foundation 5


As the name suggests, MMM will ‘pick and

support’ up to a million students from classes VI – X for multi-step and multi-

pronged nurturance in Math and Science

to start with (and other ‘subjects’ will fall in

place).

MMM makes a virtual school of best peers!

Welcome aboard!
