Mathematics Quiz at the School

As you may know, November 19-25 is being celebrated as the national book week. On this occasion, the National Book Trust set up a book fair in our school library. They also agreed to sponsor prizes for an event of our choice that we would conduct. So we were told to conduct a Mathematics Quiz, this being the National Year of Mathematics (125th birth anniversary of Srinivasa Ramanujam). The event was a grand success, with over 80 participants from classes 6, 7 and 8. Here we would like to share the presentations of the various rounds that we conducted. It is recommended that you first save the presentations to your computer. Click on the "Slideshare" button in any embedded presentation on this page to go to the slide share website, and then click on "Save File".
