Math Week

We at Oakridge International School, Vizag is celebrating Math Week  from 14^th to 18^th July 2014. It’s interesting to see the soft boards in the corridors exhibiting  different quotes on Math.  “Question of the Day” is displayed and interested children can write their answers or solve the puzzles and drop it in the drop box, the results of which would be announced at the end of the week.
Grade 1,2 and 3 had a special activity on Math in the playground on 15^th July. The Little ones of Grade 1 were asked to form a circle and had to say numbers quickly in an order. The ones who missed calling out the next number were out. This not only brushed up their numbers, but also enhanced their listening skill as they had to listen intently to call their number to save themselves from getting out.
Grade 2 &3 played a game of odd and even numbers. Children were asked to form a circle and  numbers were called out. All the children with odd numbers  had to sit and odd numbers to stand. This pattern goes on till all the children are out and come into the inner circle. This game reinforced their concepts of odd and even numbers.
Children then counted their bogies, formed a train and chugged along and had a swell time and participated with gusto and enthusiasm.
