Special Assembly Honouring State-Level Quiz Winner

We, the teacher trainees, actively helped in arranging the students and coordinating the assembly, which continued throughout the first hour of the morning. The event was filled with pride and celebration, creating a joyful atmosphere across the school campus.

INNOVATIVE MODEL

 

Innovative Model Presentation – Pythagoras Theorem

On 11th September 2025, I introduced an innovative model based on the Pythagoras Theorem in class. The session aimed to provide students with a clear and practical understanding of the relationship between the sides of a right-angled triangle.

The model visually demonstrated how the sum of the squares of the two shorter sides equals the square of the hypotenuse, making the abstract concept easier for students to grasp. Through this hands-on approach, learners were able to observe and verify the theorem in a more interactive and engaging manner.

Students showed great curiosity and enthusiasm during the demonstration. They actively participated by making their own observations, asking questions, and discussing the practical applications of the theorem in real-life situations.

The activity not only strengthened their conceptual understanding but also encouraged creative thinking and active learning. Overall, the innovative model proved to be an effective teaching aid in simplifying mathematical concepts and promoting experiential learning in the classroom.
