MATHEMATICS
Hello Students
We cordially welcome you all at the very outset!
Here you will enjoy Maths with fun and amusement.
Let me first tell you the most interesting and funny idea of the subject. It has only four operations. Do you know what are those? You will say, what a simple question !
Let us realize and appreciate the beauty of the subject and embrace it with all our heart. Any one can excel in Maths and can be a mathematician if one is given proper guidance and training in the formative period of one’s life.
The contribution is given through the Maths Committee Members. Let’s get an introduction of the subject experts.

“Mathematics is the most beautiful and powerful creation of Human Spirit”
A renouned mathematician rightly said , “ Man is a fraction whose numerator is what he is and whose denominator is what he thinks of himself. The larger the denominator the smaller the fraction”.
Mathematics is the craddle of all creations, without which the world can not move an inch. Be it a cook or a farmer, a carpenter or a mechanic, a shopkeeper or a doctor, a musician or a magician, every one need mathematics in their day-to-day life knowingly or unknowingly, directly or indirectly from time to get-up to time to go to bed. Isn’t is right? Do you know, ‘Right’ and ‘Wrong’? Needless to say; these are the linguistic words frequently applied in the MATHS but in the symbolic for ‘√’and ‘×’.
To live in a mathematically driven world and not know maths is like walking through the art museum with your eyes closed. The present age is of skill development and innovations. The more mathematical we are in our approach, the more successful we will be.
A good curriculum of Mathematics is helpful in effective learning and teaching of the subject. Experience says, learning Mathematics can be made easier and enjoyable if our curriculum includes mathematical activities and games besides Text-Book syllabus.
Deepshikha prominently presents the planned extra-curricular activities all the year round as follows.
- Maths Modeling :
A mathematical model is a description of a system using mathematical concepts and language. The process of developing a mathematical model is termed mathematical modeling. Mathematical modeling is the art of translating problems from an application area into tractable mathematical formulations whose theoretical and numerical analysis provides insight, answers and guidance useful for the originating application.
Students are given opprtunities to handle the models and to creat the model as an individual or a group display. The advantages of maths modeling are many. With the help of models students exactly represent the real problem solutions. Models help them to take decisions faster and more accurately.
2 Maths Projects :
Projects with Innovative ideas are given to the students. Mathsprojects help students understand a specific maths concept or idea. When you are making maths projects, you are doing an in-depth study of one of those concepts.
3 Maths Charts :
A chart is a graphical representation in which the data is represented by symbols such as bars in a bar chart or slices in a pie chart. A chart can represent tabular numerical data, functions or some kind of qualitative structure and provides different info. Charts of numerical squares, cubes of numbers, vulgar fractions into decimal form, formulae chart are recommended for the students for ready reference.
4 Maths-Quiz:
Maths Quizzes are the multiple choice questions. It helps the students to increase their knowledge. Once in a week the activity is performed in the class-room forming a group of students.
Facility of online maths quizzes is provided to the students in IT lab. Online quizzes take 10 minutes of time to complete a set of questions. Math quiz is a great way to check maths skill! After completion of quiz and submission, students can view score instantly. If a student wants he can also take printable math-quizzes and share the questions with friends.
5 Question Banks:
Students are given sufficient practice of solving sums. Question bank covers the entire syllabus of Maths of various classes displaying gradually from easiness to difficulty.
Assignment/Home work may be completed by the students in their vacations through the activity.
6 Biographies of Top Indian Mathematicians:
A biography is a description of a real prersons life including factual details as well as stories from the person’s life.
Students are inspired and motivated by reading the biographies of the top Indian Mathematicians and their contributions in the field of the subject. Biographies, Autobiographies, memories and diaries provide the most valuable lessons in life. For Presonality Development point of view it is a need of the day.
7 Educational Video Clips:
Video ia an electronic medium for learning the class syllabus. It plays a vital role in education.
Students can revise their syllabus by viewing the videos of the unit or subunit to understand the concept thoroughly. So visual multimedia source is noteworthy in the scholastic subjects and especially math.
8. Maths Laboratory:
Mathematics Laboratory is a place to enjoy the subject through informal exploration. Deepshikha has a good Maths Lab. Students like the lab very much. Maths lab provides an opportunity for the students to discover mathematics through doing. Students do practicals in the lab. Many of the activities present a problem or a challenge, with the possibility of generating further challenges and problems. They come out the outcome there. They find the solution in the lab itself.
The school has provided the variety of working models, pictorials to experiment.
Mast.Nischal Narayanan visited the school and shared his experiences with the students.
This was made possible by Hon. Director Dr. K. M. Kulkarni sir who invited Mast. Nischal to our school at chikhaldara. Do you know Nischal?
Nischal Narayanan.
- Brilliant, no?
National Geographic Channel thought so too! He was featured in the “7 Brilliant Brains of The World” show.
- You need to know about Nischal, the Math Genius who’s the youngest CA in the country just at the age of 19.
- If you’re thinking being the youngest in achieving one thing is awesome, then get this! He’s also the youngest graduate and Post-graduate in the history of Osmania University
- Okay that’s a lot of achievements, right? Wrong! He also claims to be a Double Guinness World Record holder in the category of Memory, and youngest ‘World Memory Champion’!
- What could he use all of this genius? He designed a Mathematics Laboratory,with which he plans to assist poor but talented students.
- Just 19 years-old and already so many feathers in his cap!! Wonder what he will be up to next!
We the Committee Members give our sincere thanks to Dr. K.M. Kulkarni sir.
It is very important that this international personality visited Deepshikha and talked with all the students and the teachers. Nischal’s Kit is in our math lab.
9 Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE):
CCE is a process of assessment, mandated by the Right To Education Act, of India in 2009. It refers to a system of school based evaluation of students’ development. It encourages additional life skills, emotional skills and thinking abilities.
We the committee members are very happy and keen to implement the CCE pattern in Deepshikha to aim to evaluate every aspect of students in the complete academic year on a continuous basis during their presence at school. The main aim of CCE is to reduce academic pressure on the minds. CCE helps in identifying changes in attitudes and value system. The platform provides information on the progress of students in scholastic and co-scholastic areas which results in forecasting the future success of the learners. It is off course worthwhile.
CCE is needed in Mathematics because the teacher should know that the students are getting the problems of any particular chapter which can be done through formative.
10 Use of IT Lab for Mathematics:
School has well established Computer Lab. Besides Math Lab, students can learn with efficiency and clarity with Information Technology tool in the Computer sectionIn the lab students are allowed to perform the following online/offline activities.
- Power Point Presentations(PPTs’)
- U Tube Videos of Maths Unit.
