The students were introduced to the concept of Mathematics by the school’s teachers, who discussed the importance of the subject in their daily lives. Following the presentation, the students participated in various activities related to this subject, such as Math Genius, Rubik’s cube challenge, and Digital poster making.
During the week, students were able to solve various math puzzles, participate in debates about the subject, and create their own mathematical-inspired artworks. The event was a great success, as it reminded everyone about the importance of Math and how it can be used in real-world applications.
The school then held a prize-giving ceremony to recognize the students who performed well in the various activities. It showed that the event had been a huge success, as it made everyone realize how important Math is.
