Let the Ideas Flow 💡

 The day began with a prayer at the college chapel. The first class was yoga. Sir, demonstrated Vajrasana. Few of us found it difficult to do but I hope with practice we'll be able to do it properly. During Maya ma'am's class, ma'am explained how philosophy and education are interdependent. We did a fun activity where we found out which animal represents our personalities. Most of them in our class got the animal, lion which means they are born leaders. I got Wolf  whose description was quite close to my nature.  

During Ancy ma'am's class we learned about pre natal and post natal development. Later we discussed about our ideas for the 'Talent Show'. We have come up with an outline but hope we'll be able to execute it well.



In our last hour Joju sir, continued with the panel discussion on ' Advantages and Disadvantages of technology'. Each and every presenter did a great job.

Prime Numbers in Nature

 Prime numbers are one of the easiest concepts to understand and learn in Maths. But some of the complex problems in Maths belong to this branch. Never would have imagined an application of prime numbers in nature. Thanks to the book 'Weird Maths: At The Edge of Infinity and Beyond' which introduced me to this along with other weird applications of Maths. There's a particular species type of cicadas found in the US called the Magicicada or the 'periodical cicadas' who stay in their larva for 13 or 17 years. Imagine staying inside for over a decade with no connection to the outside world and coming out in the year 2021. People wearing masks walking all around you, smartphones, oh, the shock!🤯 It is the primality of these numbers which interest the mathematicians. The reasons are quite interesting. As the lifecycle of the prey changes, the population cycle (pattern in the population for a period of time) of their predators also vary due to the change in the availabil...

Second Phase of Intense Teaching Practice

13th July 2022 The first day was nerve-wracking. It might be the fact that all of us haven't taught a large group of students. During the first internship, most of us had only 8-10 students in a class due to COVID and the idea of teaching a room filled with 50 students seemed to be a challenge. But after meeting the students, eveything seemed to go smooth and it calmed the nerves. The duties were assigned to us by our leader Sreevineetha. I had evening duty, along with Jis and Georgia. We had to make sure that every student gets picked up from school. 14th July 2022 Everyday the teachers have a prayer at the HM's office at 9.10 am. I had lunch duty along with Rubeena, Deepa and Jis.  Today I had to go for substitution at 9A, 10 A, 10 C and 9C. 9A which is an all- boys class with 56 students was difficult to manage. They settled down after I managed to divide them into groups and give them equation related activity. Rubeena and I had gone for substitution at 10 A (all-boys) and ...

Another Week Ends in Lightning Speed

 Weeks are getting over in a blink of an eye! This week we had a few submissions. Starting with discussion lesson olans, followed by Joju sir's note preparation and finally Reading and Reflection. This week we were supposed to begin our presentations but we needed more time to prepare. So, Joju sir continued with Bloom's taxonomy. In Ancy ma'am's class, English, Social Science and us presented our discussion reports on education commissions. In Giby ma'am class we learnt about 'Forgetting theory'. Finally, in Maya ma'am's class we selectedvour practicum topics and completed our discussion on Buddhism and moved onto British education in India. Looks like our classes will restadt from Oct 4th, don't know how everything is going to come about.
