Math Society

Mathematics – the Queen of the Sciences and the King of the Arts - provides opportunities to the Primary and Middle School to have a lot of fun activities, learn practical applications, remove their phobia for the subject in their formative years and help them develop confidence in the subject.The Club provides a platform to the children to enjoy, appreciate and acquire basic skills in the subject by organizing competitive group activities, puzzles and visits to the College Museum and Technical Skills Development Centre.The Subject has moved beyond the Classrooms to explore our verdant Campus as the new Classroom. It is not only exciting for the children but also helps them acquire real life skills. The Math Club is a place for the children to explore and enrich their knowledge in the subject, develop a keen sense for design, appreciate intrinsic aesthetics and

mathematical beauty without which the world would cease to be the interesting and magical place that it is. The Club also organised a Math Expo and several lectures by eminent resource persons and faculty members during this academic year. The Club also initiated the children into online courses to help them enhance their skills and explore the limitless possibilities that the subject offers.
