In regards to NEP 2020, experiential learning is gaining popularity in India. Students who participate in experiential learning gain knowledge by becoming fully involved in an experience and by reflecting on it. They acquire new knowledge, attitudes, and abilities in this way. The aim of the current study was to compare the efficacy of the experiential learning approach with the traditional method for teaching mathematics to primary school students. Instructional treatment was carried out for three days in both experimental as well as control group. The sample consisted of 40 sixth-grade students of govt. senior secondary school of district Gurugram (Haryana, India). A pretest-posttest control group design was employed in the investigation. The sample for the research replied to the achievement test and experiential learning program on three topics of geometry constructed by investigator. The two-way ANOVA (2x2 factorial design) and t-test were used for data analysis. The findings showed that (a) students who were exposed to experiential learning programs learned more than those who were taught using traditional method, and (b) low achievers were more likely to benefit from experiential learning approach than high achievers.
