Acknowledge International Pi Day
2019-03-14
‘Pi Day’ is an opportunity to help students learn how to solve problems in the classroom and throughout the world around them. ‘Pi Day’ is a way to engage students in a fun and timely manner. Every teacher understands the constant challenge of making our subjects and lessons engaging for kids, and hence acknowledging a day provides a natural hook especially for a subject like Mathematics.

Ideas from students

The concept of Pi plays a significant role in Grade 8 Geometry and Algebra especially. After an in-depth classroom discussion which focused on the relation of ‘Pi’ to working of any circular-shaped object, we began to brainstorm on the methods of deriving value of ‘Pi’ and its application. Technology provided a great opportunity to engage the students and to explore how the area and volume of these various shapes are related to each other. To make it clear we started searching games and puzzles related to Pi and its applications. Then the students came up with two presentations which included an introductory video, real working models, a number of puzzles and games for the audience to play.

The whole event adopted a token system which allowed the visitors to play games in exchange for tokens. Every student participated in making the ‘Pi Day’ informative and engaging actively and in the process they understood that ‘Pi’ is not equal to either 3.1415…or 22/7 and it just approximated by various methods. The students explained various methods displayed in the presentations and applications of ‘Pi’ and had a remarkable time doing so.

Learning outcome

Celebrating Pi day has brought us all closer to understanding the nature of our world and how inventors from centuries ago were able to understand the concept of Pi and how it works to create the circular and spherical things we use often in our life.
Students also learnt how Pi was approximated and tried to understand how the values (22/7 or 3.14) are used in certain places where these are values required.

Ultimately the ‘Pi Day’ celebration helped to students to gain clarity on how ‘Pi’ is nothing but the ratio between circumference (in some cases it is the perimeter) of any circle and its diameter.

Mr Alvin Kallicharran at Akshar Arbol International School
March 18th 2019 turned out to be a memorable day for the teaching and learning community at Akshar Arbol International School in Injambakkam as they had the opportunity to interact with the veteran West Indian Cricketer Mr. Alvin Kallicharran.
Mr. Kallicharran has travelled to his roots by visiting Chennai, the city his mother was born in, an act befitting the occasion of the release of his autobiography, ‘Colour Blind’ which is dedicated to his mother’s memory. Interacting very joyously with the students, Mr. Kallicharran addressed the gathering and spoke in length about his humble beginnings. Opening up about his formative years and how his passion for cricket led him to brave all obstacles, Mr. Kallicharran insisted on the need to be ambitious at a young age. He stressed on the importance of choosing any sport of one’s liking and striving with dedication to excel in it. He went on to talk about the need to be a quick thinker and decision maker, to be hungry for success, to adopt positivity in one’s approach and to always have a role model in life to drive oneself towards one’s aspirations. Mr. Kallicharran’s heartfelt and powerful speech concluded on a note of warning wherein he insisted the students to never take a shortcut to attaining one’s goals as it will always lead to mediocrity but to work hard which, despite being time consuming, will surely help one attain lasting success.
The speech was followed by the felicitation of Mr. Kallicharran by Mr. R. Subramanian, the school Chairman. To mark this event Mr. Kallicharran planted a sapling in the school campus in line with the school’s vision of building a green campus.
Mr. Kallicharran graciously posed for photographs with the students, signed several bats and handed out autographs to eager students. In light of his upcoming 70th birthday on the 21st of March, the event drew to a close with a cake cutting and birthday song. A fitting end to the great event, Mr. Kallicharran took to the ground and dexterously batted for nearly two overs much to the delight of the onlookers.

Parent Orientation of TSS and ECR

Parent Orientation :
Schools having a well designed curricula will be able to provide the best to students only if it is well supported by all its stakeholders. This would mean the stakeholders would have to build their understanding of the school’s curriculum to support in nurturing young learners to succeed especially in their higher school education.

To enable this to happen we at AAIS organise for sustained interactions with our parents throughout the year to gather their support in the implementation of the school curriculum. In this process our very first interaction is the ‘Parent Orientation’scheduled at the beginning of the academic year.

This year our focus was to provide a glimpse of the learning experiences, that is more than just the various subjects and activities merely visible on a school calendar. The routines and responsibilities as a learner were aspects emphasised upon during this session .

As much a learning it is for the students, we believe it is for the parents as well!.
