ISA Activity in our School...

Learning is a continuous process and the school is playing a very important role in this process during the formal education of a child. School shapes this learning and this learning becomes a fun if it is done by play way method of teaching. Playing MATHEMBOLA was a project and a step towards learning while enjoying.

The project was accomplished with the students of class VIII in the month of July as a part of one of the British Council activities. The project started with the meeting of Maths teachers although the guidelines and working strategy had already been decided long back when the action plan was submitted.

On 16 July the teachers, Ms Swati, Ms Rubina and Ms Rachna  under the flagship of HOD Maths, Ms Asha Arora asked students to undergo vigorous research and find ISD codes of various countries. Next day the teachers collected the ISD codes and randomly selected 40 countries . Alist of codes and countries were given to all the students and through a questionnaire their learning outcome was assessed.

The fundamental terms used in Mathematics till class VIII were then related with these codes and yet through another questionnaire the students were judged. The knowledge of prime numbers, composite number, square, square root, area of triangle were being revised in a very quick and easy way.

Tickets comprising 64 boxes were prepared by students  and teachers assigned ISD codes . Finally the day arrived which was long awaited by our dear students to play the magical game of MATHEMBOLA. The students played the game by striking off the number spoken by the teacher in terms of either ISD codes or mathematical statements.

The enthusiasm and the excitement soared high when the results were announced and the prizes were distributed by ISA Coordinator, Ms Sonjuhi .The principal, Ms Vipula  Saxena appreciated the efforts put in by the mentors .Over all, the activity was fun yet a great learning experience.
