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...

Not a Typical Movie Review

 We were assigned with the task of watching a movie and understand its educational implications. I had  chosen the movie 'Dead Poets Society (1989)' directed by Peter Weir starring the late Robin Williams. I'd seen this movie a while ago but this time, I decided to watch it to understand what makes John Keating different from other teachers. This Academy award winning movie is set in a conservative boy's boarding school named Welton's Academy which is known for churning out disciplined and academically brilliant students. The story focuses on a group of seventeen year old boys and their English teacher John Keating (Robin Williams). John Keating is a nonconformist and lives by the phrase 'Carpe Diem' which means 'seize the day'. He encourages his students to get rid of their fears, find their voices and live their lives to the fullest through poetry. Their newfound interest in poetry led them to create a secret club named Dead Poets Society. One of t...

MathBytes - Work and Time

 This is a small initiative by DIKSHA, math association of MTTC to help students, who find it difficult to solve math problems in competitive exams. I've chosen to focus on the 'Work & Time' problems, which have a wide array of problems under it. Hope this three-part video lesson (available on YouTube) covers most of it.
