What Was So Interesting About Playing With Tangrams!

Tangram is a Chinese Geometrical puzzle consisting of a square cut into seven pieces which can be arranged to make various other shapes. I love playing with Tangrams. 

It is very interesting to play with Tangram puzzle because I enjoy making beautiful shapes.

A Graph - Tickets Sold For a Play

The temple community ISKCON Coimbatore, that I visit very often sometimes organizes dramas/play. All of these plays are free of cost for all kinds of people to watch. I once watched a play on "Sudama Charitra'. It was a wonderfully played drama. The temple community is constructing a new big temple nearby and they are raising funds for the construction of the new temple.

When I was studying 'Data Handling' in Mathematics, I imagined that we all are organizing a play on "Balarama kills Denukasura" to raise funds for the new temple construction. I even imagined that different group of people in our temple community sold tickets for this play. My amma gave me some imaginary data related  to this and here is a BAR GRAPH I created. 

How Mathematics Triggered An Idea to Make Edu Products

I started to learn 'I Did It Mathematics - Book 5'. There was a play activity to make flash cards on large numbers, their number names and their expanded forms. The game was for a group of children and when the teacher would tell a number, the students who has the flash card for the number, number names and its expanded form, join together to form a group. And the game continues.

Since I am homeschooling and I didn't have friends around, Amma and myself came up with an idea to make flash cards and play a memory game which we will do later.

In the meanwhile, we integrated technology with our Mathematics lesson.
