“Mathematics is one of the essentials
emanations of human spirit, a thing to be valued in and for itself, like art or
poetry.”
Intent: ‘Math Week’ was
intended to cultivate the love for math by the means of various activities.
Besides the ‘Math Fashion Show’, ‘Lulu Trip’ and ‘Dubai Aquarium Trip’; the ‘Inter
House Math Quiz’ for the students of KG
2 and Grade 1 was conducted on 30th
October 2018 in the school auditorium.
Experience: 18 students from the 9 classes participated in the
quiz. There were 9 teams in all, comprising of 2 grades; KG 2 and Grade 1.
Selection of the participants was done in a fair, planned and systematic manner
by conducting a written selection round. Selected candidates were prepared
rigorously before representing their respective class. It created an
opportunity for the children to bring out their talent on a common platform.
The competition was conceptualized under the guidance of Ms. Dhanalaxmi who was
the Quiz master for the Quiz.
The quiz comprised of four rounds:
1.
Question Round
