The only way to learn Mathematics is to do Mathematics!

Mathematics is the science of numbers and their operations. For an enjoyable experience of this subject, we must necessarily be able to relate it to the environment and focus on the development of thinking and reasoning skills. With this thought, our grade 3 students recently celebrated Math Week at Presidium, Indirapuram, on the birth anniversary of famous Indian mathematician, Sh. Srinivasa Ramanujan. The entire week was celebrated with fun-filled and interactive activities to achieve a wide range of objectives related to knowledge skills, application, attitude, appreciation, interest and values. A Math Quiz was also conducted, wherein various interesting and challenging puzzles, riddles, reasoning and application based questions were asked and discussed through a PPT.
