In particularly mathematics subject learning theory and practice together, is more beneficial. In India NPE 2020 emphasized on “how to learn” or we can say skills-based learning and gave importance to “learning by doing”. Experiential learning in arithmetic and geometry at 5th grade was studied to see if experiential learning could positively help students’ participation to increase their maths learning outcomes. A series of pedagogical experiments with 20 fifth-grade students on topics related to arithmetic and geometry was conducted to confirm research goals. Students were required to develop attitude to solve problems respective criteria of 5th grade. Only group method was subjected to a pre-test and a post- test design. Teacher made achievement test was used as a tool for data collection. The results were found that experiential learning activities positively influence the students motivation and students achievement of the class.
