REPORT ON MATHEMATICS CLUB ACTIVITIES– 2022-23
One of the major aims of teaching mathematics is to create interest and to remove the fear of the subject. A good mathematics teacher can involve the students in several co-curricular activities such as Mathematics Club, Mathematics Fair, and Mathematics Laboratory. Mathematics Club helps the students in having an idea of the practical utility of mathematics in addition to creating their interest in Mathematics.
Objective of the activities:
- To encourage creativity
- To ignite interest for mathematics
- To reinforce the theorems, concepts, applications
- To establish design thinking
- To encourage real life applications of the concepts
- To develop team spirit and leadership

Students’ reflections on the activities conducted:
- The making of working models and the activities turned out to be a fun activity.
- There is a lot of learning from each other when creative activities are executed in teams.
- It is great to know that art, physics, and design thinking can be integrated in learning Mathematics.
- Students felt that they are confident to apply in real life the concepts on which they could successfully create working models.
