Buffon’s Matcsticks and the number (Pi)
Buffon’s Matcsticks and the number (Pi)
With each circle, the reward of accomplishment is indescribable in words. Mathematics shines in the eyes of young curious participants.
A side token of these circles is the ample opportunity to learn from other experiences, every colleague faculty member carries a "wow" factor that emerges when you engage in teaching to school kids.
I myself learned a lot by attending circles of other colleagues. Each circle has its own flavor, its own beauty and is loaded with a pedagogical pandora box. Learning from others is an aesthetic gesture of appreciation courtesy of these circles. Teaching development is a non-ending process and there is no end of learning, our departmental teaching will get an extra boost and support from this self-training mode. I am very much sure that in upcoming years, we will have an amazing treasure of enticing interactive fun-filled mathematical activities for other mathematics departments to follow in Pakistan.
On the student's end, I received overwhelming responses from participants coming from various places in these circles. I am sharing here some glimpses of our last math circle with a testimonial (in the attachment) by two participants.
Huge round of applauses for Dr. Haniya Azam and Dr. Muhammad Usman for creating a super excited math circle on estimating the value of pi using different methods. All the participants were divided into five.
Here are some highlights from the event:
