Eid mubarak!

 I don't know, is it just me or does anyone else feel like these days time is flying ? This week again we only had four working days as it was Bakrid on Wednesday.


In Ancy ma'am's class we were divided optional wise for group discussion. The Malayalam optionals were the first to do their presentation on 'The University Education Commission'. They did a detailed study on the topic and the presentation was short and informative.

In Joju sir's class we finally decided on the topic for our tool creation. Joju sir always makes it a point to include some current events in his class. This way students who are unaware of theses events will be curious to read more on it.

In Giby ma'am's class we learned about the reasoning, especially inductive and deductive reasoning. I never forced myself to think about these two reasonings beyond Maths. As ma'am and few of the students shared their thoughts, I began to realize that each and every thought or principle in our life is due to inductive or deductive reasoning.

In Maya ma'am's class we discussed about the barriers of communication. the transactional analysis and finally  the topic 'Vidya, Vaidya & Shanti'.

We took our optional hour to discuss about constructivism and the associated lesson plan.

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...

A New Phase

 This week marked the beginning of teaching practice. St Mary's, Pattom is the school assigned for me. It's going to be a great opportunity and experience for all of us.The internship was supposed to start on 5th January but it was delayed by a day due to an unexpected holiday.  6th Jan 2022, It was the first day of our internship and to be honest I was excited and nervous at the same time. I had the first hour at 9J1 which was utilised to show a video on 'Social Media and its Effects'. The video was shot and shown as a part of a government initiative to create awareness of the positive and negative effects of social media. I couldn't take a class, but I got to be the tech support for the teachers. This helped me get rid of that unnecessary stress. But I had another period at 9I1 and I used this period to get to know the students, their previous knowledge etc. and also brushed some of the previously taught topics. 7th Jan 2022, Today the second batch attended school...

Day 30 of Online Classes

 Today the day began with Joju sir's class and the physical science association continued with their seminar. We were introduced to the software 'Hot Potatoes', which can be used to make online quizzes. If I had known this earlier I would have used it for 'Mathletics'. The topic was handled by Ancy and Gayathri of Physical science association and they did a great job. Later we had Ancy ma'am's class where we discussed about social change. Ma'am made us switch on our cameras to take a group photo. It felt good too see many faces after a long time.
