Ever seen a bicycle with square wheels

In the Math Week celebrations at the school, one of the most intriguing sights was the Indus Square Wheel Bicycle. Most people were amazed to see the cycle. But making it was actually the easiest part. The difficult part was to design its road! It looks like a speed breaker, but has to be very accurate in terms of the shape and size of the curves.

Can you think of a road for a triangular wheels? And what if the triangle was not equilateral? What if it was a right-angled isosceles triangle?

There were quite a few interesting and exciting questions answered in the Math Week that we don't really come across in our Math books. But that's exactly what makes us so different in our approach, isn't it?

Story-telling by a first grader

Bhaskar Karmakar tells a story during one of our story-telling sessions in his class. Very endearing indeed!

Creativity Unleashed!

STOOL

ROUND

I had this unexpected occasion to spend some time without a fixed agenda in the class, due to lot of students of the class busy in a football match. Rejecting their requests for playing outside, I asked them to show me some creativity. The task was to "draw" words that could convey the meaning of the words too. A few examples could be as shown here.

SHAPES

Initially, the children seemed to be struggling with the designs. But gradually, they caught on the task, and here are some creations that I could capture. In fact, it was difficult to keep up with their pace. Of course, there were some that bordered on being highly cryptic to be deciphered. There were still others that were not original creations. Nevertheless, quite commendable.
