WORLD MATH DAY

World Math Day falls on the 15th of October.
DGPS primary celebrated it on Sunday, 20th of
October for Years 1-6. All the students were
engaged in various math and cross-curricular
activities.

The boys of Year 6 and the secondary
students had an exciting opportunity to step
into the shoes of teachers for a period, teaching
students of Years 4 and 5. It was a day of creativity
and learning mathematics in different contexts.

ANGLE BLAST

The students of Year 5 had an outdoor learning experience with mathematical angles in the school quadrangle. The activity included playing a game
of ‘Simon Says’ to make angles, using their hands and fingers, followed by a one minute search around the quadrangle to spot out angled objects
and murals. The activity ended with a rapid fire face-off round of mental math on angle sizes. The students had an engaging and fun-filled time with
reinforcement of fundamental mathematical concepts.

THE GREAT KS2 MATHOPOLIS QUIZ: 2019-2020

The students of Years 5 and 6 attempted an online quiz held
on 15th September, 2019. The top performers were the
chosen participants of the Great KS2 Mathopolis Quiz organised
in the school auditorium.

The teams’ (consisting of teachers and students) applaudable
performance resulted in incredible results as Rashid House
surfaced victorious with 185 points, followed very closely by
the Ahmed House with 175 points. Maktoum House and
Hamdan House remained commendable team players. The
Primary Supervisor, Ms.Bina Ajgoankar posed an innovative
question arousing their critical thinking skills. The students had a riveting start to the morning with an exhilarating dose of mathematics.
