The learning process has evolved tremendously over time. Notably, in the
21st century, different types of technologies are used to make learning
accessible anytime and anywhere to a generation of students who were
brought up during the age of digital technology and are familiar with
computers and the internet from an early age. Thus the Science, Technology,
Engineering and Mathematics.(STEM) approach aims to help these students
understand and learn in the best way. The objective of this paper is to build
up students skill through their interest in Science, Technology, Reading, Art,
Mathematic.(STREAM) module. This paper focusses on one such way that is
mathematical learning outside the classroom. The ‘BizMath Challenge’
modul is an innovative project that is based on the curriculum of STREAM
and fulfills the mathematics syllabus at the primary school level. The
curriculum of STREAM is applied in this project to nurture the values of
learning through the five scopes of education. In addition, the concepts of IQ
(Intelligent Quotient), EQ (Emotional Quotient), problem solving and
innovation design are also employed. To measure the variables of the study,
a Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree) is
used. R statistics programming is used to run the descriptive analysis and
correlation analysis. The results show that the BizMath Challenge brings
benefits students’ learning by improving their mathematical skills and
knowledge. Conventional methods are deemed less attractive to these
students who prefer learning outside their classrooms as they can connect
the lessons with their environment and everyday life. Therefore, educators
need to do a great job in preparing the change based on learning activities
and should start getting acquainted with STREAM projects.
