National Math Day, celebrated on the occasion of the birthday of the renowned Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan, was observed with great enthusiasm. The event aimed to inspire students to appreciate the beauty of mathematics and honour the contributions of Ramanujan to the field.
Activities:
Movie Screening:
To kick off the celebration, math teachers organized a special screening of a documentary on the life and work of Srinivasa Ramanujan. The movie provided insights into Ramanujan's extraordinary journey, mathematical discoveries, and his impact on the world of mathematics. This movie was created by the students of Delhi public school. Students found this session both educational and inspiring.
Math Posters:
Students from classes 6 to 9 actively participated in a poster-making activity centred around the importance of mathematics in daily life and the life and achievements of Srinivasa Ramanujan. The posters showcased the beauty of mathematics through vibrant visuals and concise information. This activity encouraged students to research and creatively present their findings, fostering a deeper understanding of Ramanujan's contributions.
Mathematical Puzzles:
The celebration included engaging activities such as solving mathematical puzzles, with a focus on challenges that reflected Ramanujan's unique approach to problem-solving. One of the highlights was the introduction of magic squares, encouraging students to explore patterns and logic. The puzzles not only enhanced their critical thinking skills but also made learning math enjoyable.
Bingo Game:
A math-themed bingo game was organized in class 9, incorporating theorems, mathematical terms, key concepts and mental math. This interactive game added an element of fun to the celebration while reinforcing important mathematical principles.
