The teacher extends one arm downwards towards the floor and raises the other, encouraging the student to mark where her hand reaches. After standing straight, she reveals that her height aligns with the mark.

When it comes to innovative teaching, some educators go above and beyond to bring learning to students. A Delhi-based teacher, Sapna Bhatia, has recently impressed social media users with her inventive approach to teaching measurement concepts. Her creative classroom activity, shared in a now-viral Instagram video, shows her demonstrating how arm span correlates to height – a concept that’s been spreading like wildfire online and winning hearts across the internet.

In the video, Bhatia invites a student to the front of the class and proceeds to explain the measurement technique with a hands-on activity. She extends one arm downwards towards the floor and raises the other up to the blackboard, encouraging the student to mark where her hand reaches. After standing straight, she reveals that her height aligns with the mark, illustrating the arm span-to-height ratio in a way that’s simple yet effective. This interactive lesson has not only made an impression on her students but also struck a chord with millions of viewers.

The video has sparked an enthusiastic response, with countless viewers applauding Bhatia’s innovative teaching style. One commenter called the video “enlightening,” while another admitted, “New learning to me.” Words like “interesting” and “real activity” kept popping up in the comments as people expressed their appreciation for this hands-on learning technique.

Some viewers felt inspired to try it themselves, with comments like “Ma’am, I tried it too!” and “Tried and tested! This actually works!” filling the feed. “I was taught this by my grandmother,” commented a user.

Interestingly, this isn’t the first time a creative teaching video has captured widespread attention. Back in August, another educator, Khushboo Kumari from Banka, Bihar, gained fame for her unconventional teaching techniques. In her classroom at Prothomot Madhyamik Vidyalaya, she brought math and other subjects to life through engaging rhymes and even Bollywood tunes, making learning more relatable and fun for her students.

Her efforts, part of the government’s Chahak initiative, received widespread praise and were shared by several prominent figures, including IAS officers.
