Ramanujan was an Indian Mathematician and autodidact who, with almost no formal training in pure mathematics,

made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions.

Ramanujans talent suggested a plethora of formulae that could then be investigated in depth later.

Today ,being the first day of Ganit week, classwise RELAY RACE was conducted for classes 3-5.

Each class had 5 teams with 5 – 8 participants; each team was given 10 questions. The team goes from one step to

PASCAL’S TRIANGLE Pascal’s triangle is not just a mathematical diversion . It has attracted the attention of mathematicians

and scientists over many centuries. Use of Pascal’s triangle can convince a learner that separate and

distinct mathematical ideas can be merged in a single model. This is evident in the fact that the Pascal’s

triangle has connection with arithmetic, number theory, set theory, trigonometry, probability and

mathematical recreation.

DAY 4 ACTIVITY OF GANIT WEEK

As a part of the GANIT week MATH QUIZ was

conducted class wise (class VI & VII). Children were

divided into 5 groups with 8 members in each

group.

Five rounds were conducted for class VII. Shape puzzle, number puzzle, Analytic reasoning,
