On the joyous occasion of National Mathematics Day, commemorating the birth anniversary of the mathematical genius Srinivasa Ramanujan, Sakalya Wisdom Early Years brought the spirit of numbers to life with an exhilarating Math Quiz Competition. While the official day falls on 22nd December, our preschool community came together to celebrate early on 20th December with a thoughtfully designed event that perfectly reflected our commitment to experiential learning.

The quiz was more than just a competition; it was a vibrant celebration of curiosity, reasoning, and application. True to Sakalya Wisdom's pedagogy, the event emphasized active experiential questing, making use of hands-on training aids and engaging activities. These were not your conventional sit-down questions; instead, children were immersed in challenges that assessed their knowledge, understanding, alertness, and application of mathematical concepts.

From counting objects and matching numbers to addition of numbers curated as per the age group  and participating in interactive number games, every task was designed to make mathematics a joyful and meaningful experience. The children’s enthusiasm and quick thinking were a testament to their growing confidence in math, a skill that forms the foundation for lifelong learning.

Benefits of Experiential Quiz Competitions in Early Year Settings:

  1. Hands-On Learning: Activities with tangible aids enhance understanding, making abstract concepts like numbers, patterns, and shapes more relatable.

  2. Critical Thinking: Quizzes challenge children to think on their feet, promoting problem-solving and analytical skills.

  3. Application of Knowledge: By integrating real-life scenarios, children learn to apply what they’ve studied in practical ways.

  4. Boosting Confidence: Participating in a quiz helps children build self-assurance as they take pride in their achievements, no matter how small.

  5. Encouraging Teamwork: Collaborative rounds foster social skills, teaching children to work together and support one another.

  6. Love for Learning: Fun and interactive math activities cultivate a genuine interest in the subject, laying the groundwork for future academic success.

As the event concluded, it was heartwarming to see the joy and sense of accomplishment on the children’s faces. At Sakalya Wisdom Early Years, we believe in fostering a love for learning through meaningful experiences, and the Math Quiz Competition was a perfect embodiment of this philosophy. We are proud to celebrate National Mathematics Day in a way that inspires our young learners and honours the legacy of Srinivasa Ramanujan, a true pioneer of mathematical thought.
