MATHEMATICAL LOGICAL CLUB
Mathematics is described as ‘the Queen of the Sciences and the King of the Arts’.
The Math club functions as a fun-based activity for the middle classes basically to
eradicate their phobia for the subject in their formative years. It helps the middle
school children to enjoy, appreciate and acquire a basic knowledge of the subject by
organizing competitive group activities, puzzles.
Through the club, to develop a positive attitude towards learning Mathematics, a
myriad of activities was conducted in the club:
· Puzzle time.
· Fun with arithmetic operations
· Number and operations puzzle
· Vedic Math tricks for multiplication
· Shape rotational patterns
· Number series
· Odd one out series
· Number patterns
· Shape counting in multi grouped figures

Bodily Kinesthetic (Sports)
Kinesthetic Intelligence is the ability to use one’s body with great precision, helping to facilitate the implementation of our goals and personal objectives. Those with kinesthetic intelligence are able to use the body to move from intention to action. This type of intelligence involves coordination, balance, skill, speed, strength, and dexterity. In short, it relies on tactile mechanisms and human movement to get information.
It is crucial for our own wellbeing, to remember the importance of unity, balance and harmony of both concepts, Logical and Kinesthetic Intelligence, by keeping in mind that the body and mind go hand in hand in our development. The “reflective” or cerebral part is equally as necessary as the “active” or physical part of us.
As part of the club, students enjoyed their Bodily-Kinesthetic club participating and learning the following sports.

Robotics club
STEAM Learning integrates Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Mathematics, with key skills such as problem solving, strategic thinking and collaboration. Digital & Design Technologies aims to develop the knowledge, understanding and skills to ensure that, individually and collaboratively, students develop confidence as critical users of technologies and designers and producers of designed solutions, and they design, create, manage and evaluate sustainable and innovative digital solutions.
Keeping that in mind, our young scientists, engineers, mathematicians have collaborated with peers and learnt how to Design, Make and Learn. Some highlights of what the kids have learnt in the Robotics club are given below :
