Our school celebrated Ramanujan Day with great curiosity and enthusiasm. A special morning assembly was conducted to narrate Ramanujan’s life in the form of a skit that portrayed his findings and discoveries. This educated us about his life and his mathematical prowess.
A Mathematics expo “Ganith Mela” was also organised on topics such as ‘Applications of Mathematics in electricity’, ‘Conserving water’, ‘Applications of Geometry in real life’ etc. We, the students of classes 6, 7 and 8 formed groups of four and prepared charts and models. We displayed them in our respective classrooms. This way of learning from each other was fun and very useful.
Lower classes had set up several stores for selling to showcase their knowledge of money transactions in daily life.
My favourite presentation of this workshop was a satellite made of paper, cardboard and wires. It was connected to a motor and an HW battery by wires and included solar panels with tiny bulbs attached to it. When the switch was turned on, it could rotate its tail just like a real satellite. Another model was a bridge made of ice-cream sticks. It must have weighed less than 30g but could support a 2kg weight acting on it. The presenters explained to us that the model could support the weight as triangles were the strongest shapes.
We are very thankful to the school for creating such opportunities to keep us involved in innovative activities and make us learn in an engaging manner.
