In our schools, mathematics is a dreaded subject, perhaps even more so than other subjects like physics, chemistry and biology. Today school mathematics is totally cut off from real life. The entire curriculum seems to be overlaid. It is thought that mathematics is best learnt by mugging up tables and by repeatedly solving boring sums. Most of the children are scared of mathematics and carry the burden of it through precious years in school. If children are to appreciate the beauty of mathematics, it is imperative, that they get a feel for mathematics through practical work.  

In order to achieving these goals we take up hands-on activities and to enhance children's thinking ability converting a given design into an apparently unrelated final figure. SCVC has conducted various training programmes through low-cost mathematics through origami training workshops for school mathematics teachers and school children in Odisha state, which was a fun-filled activity in itself as well as an approach to enhancing one’s mathematics especially geometrical thinking while developing co-ordination between one’s thought and action.
