World Math Crusade

On 26th December, 2013, 6 students from our School went to Delhi Public School, RK Puram to participate in the ' World Math Crusade 2013'. Over 50 schools across the country participated in the event . The chief guest on the occasion was chairman CBSE, Mr. Vineet Joshi and the guest of honour was the founder of GanitGurooz, Dr. Atul Nischal.

The event comprised of 5 events including a quiz and a surprise event. The quiz had 2 rounds; the prelims and the final rounds.The quiz consisted of 21 questions of which 10 belonged to problem- solving which literally forced us to put on our thinking caps while the other 11 were of mathematical general knowledge. The latter constituted riddles, limericks and theorems.

It was indeed requiring high order thinking skills and emphasised the need for problem- solving skills. It indeed was an enriching experience. To quote Dr. Nischal " Mathematics is an integral part of our understanding of society as well as an important tool in learning critical thinking and problem- solving.
