MATH CARNIVAL
Lotus Valley International School organized a Math Carnival as a part of Math Week for Classes III to V to boost the intellect, talent, mental ability and creative intelligence of the students on 8th Dec, 9th Dec and 11th Dec for students and parents. A  wide array of game stalls which had interesting puzzles and interactive games like fishing the factors, multiple match, decimal comparison, shapes memory match ,rubix cubes, etc  were set up. The students also showcased their talent by presenting a humourous play and Math tricks in front of the parents. The parents  were delighted to see their children perform so well and appreciated their efforts wholeheartedly. They felt transported back to their childhood and thoroughly enjoyed the games presented through the carnival.

GUESSTIMATION
The concept of guesstimating is in fact a modified version of the ‘Fermi Question’ initiated by the leading physicist Enrico Fermi.
These Fermi questions/problems challenge students to arrive at an approximate answer by making assumptions about the situation presented to them. It inculcates a sense of reasoning in the students and helps nurture their creative skills.
In an endeavour to develop these skills in our children, a questionnaire-based worksheet was given. The students thoroughly enjoyed themselves and it was indeed a great learning experience.
