Shayaan: Good morning, everyone! Respected Principal Sir, dear teachers, friends.

And all the

beloved parents present here. Today, I. Shayaan…

Gayathri: And I, Gayathri will be leading you through an assembly conducted by Astronomical
11A and Beaming 11B.

Shayaan: It’s Math Week! You know that fun time when we celebrate the power of numbers and
—math puns!

Gayathri: Wait, power of numbers? Are you sure it’s not the “power of boredom”? I understand
why words have power; I’m not so convinced about numbers.

Shayaan: Trust me, math has serious superpowers. It’s like the world’s greatest superhero hiding
in plain sight! You just need to see the creative side.

Gayathri: Oh, creative math? Are we talking about the same math here? This, I must see.

Shayaan: Well, just like every math problem has a solution, let me solve this with… a story!
LET’S EXPLORE THE MAGIC OF MATHEMATICS.

(Skit begins)

(Scene: Students file in, the teacher follows, and the bell rings.)

(bell rings)

Rakshith (Rohan): Good morning, dear children! Please stand in attention with your fist

Jui and Saanvi: Good morning, NMS! Welcome to the awaited Radio NMS Math Week
Special! Today, we, Jui and Saanvi are the RJs for the day.

Jui: Saanvi, I must ask you something very important. Why is the circle the smartest shape?

Saanvi: Ooh, a tricky one…...! Why?

Jui: Because the circle has 360 degrees!

Saanvi: Oh I don’t really get it, can you explain?

Jui: The circle has not just one or two educational degrees, but 360 degrees.

Saanvi: That was witty!

(Crowd laughs)

Jui: We’re adding a little number magic to your day! Now, we have Sujith with the thought for
the day, Brennen for the idiom of the day, and Siva, Akshara, Rammona, Aeram, and Aaryan for
the words of the day. Think “mathspiration!”

(Thought, Words, and Idiom of the day are shared.)

Saanvi: Well, that certainly “mathspired” me! Anyways that concludes today’s radio segment.
Thank you for listening to Radio NMS, where your voices do the talking!

Rakshith: Okay, everyone. So, how did you spend your morning utilization time today?

Rishita (for Mercy): We wrote in our GDBDs and learnt some new words, sir!

Rakshith: Excellent! Expanding vocabulary and your mind! Please show me your almanac.

(while sir is checking:)

Rohit (Sai Naman) (whispers): Psst… are you ready for today’s math test?

Ritheesh (Shahiq) (whispers): Test? Today? Oh no, I forgot!

Rohit (Sai Naman): lesson learnt never forget to write down the next day topic in your
almanac…

Rakshith: Ok children, I’ve got some news—both good and… not-so-good.

Ritheesh (Shahiq): Good news? Is the test canceled?

(Rohan )Rakshith ( laughs): Ha Ha, nice try! The “not-so-good” news is that the test is
postponed to tomorrow because I have a workshop today. The good news is you’re still going to
be learning, thanks to flip learning! Lucky you!

(students sigh in relief)

Rakshith: Don’t worry, children. Math is present everywhere, no matter the subject you learn.
Maybe you might be missing the maths period, but you won’t miss learning Maths.

Gayathri: the bell rings, signaling the teacher’s departure.

(the bells rings)

Gayathri: As the day passes on, different teachers come into class to teach. Right now, the
history teacher enters class.

(History teacher enters)

Rayona: Good morning, students! Instead of learning from our books, lets blend maths along
with history today! In honour of maths week, why not meet India’s very own female
mathematician, who made a notable contribution in both history of India and world mathematics.

Rishita: Oh? Who is that Ma’am?

Rayona: She’s none other than Shakuntala Devi, a renowned mathematician. The times network
is holding a special segment today, honoring her, by replaying one of her most famous
interviews. This is a great way to learn about current events, along with history.

Gayathri: Now we call upon Alicia, Siddharth and Jagrit for the news, Followed by the
interview.

(scene shifts, a reporter and a woman take their seats)

Rohit: Good morning everyone! This is Rohit rajeeevan, reporting from Times Network, and
present with none other than Shakuntala Devi. I welcome you Mam, it is a huge privilege to be
sitting with one of the greatest minds of all time.

Shakuntala Devi: (laughs) Thank you so much! It’s a pleasure being here myself.

Rohit: Would you like to introduce yourself to our viewers?

Shakuntala Devi: Hello to everyone watching this, for those who don’t know who I am, I am
Shakunthala Devi, also known as the “Human Computer” back in the heights of my day, solving
complex math problems faster than most machines could dream.

rohit: That’s incredible! Could you tell us a bit about ur background? At what age did you
realize your gift and love for maths?

Shakuntala Devi: "I was born in India in 1929 and by the age of three, I was already solving
difficult problems!"

Rohit: is it true that you earnt a place in the Guinness world records? How?

Shakuntala: Not to brag, but in 1980, I multiplied two 13-digit numbers in just 28 seconds,
earning a place in the Guinness World Records."

Rohit: To all the viewers, Mam is not only a great mathematician, but also an award-winning
author! Please tell us about one of your favourite literary contribution?

Shakuntala: I have written several books that highlight the importance and joy of solving
complex problems in a rather simple way – “Figuring: The Joy of Numbers" – A book that
explores fascinating mathematical concepts in an easy-to-understand way, encouraging readers
to appreciate the beauty of numbers.”

Rohit: What challenges did you face? Is there any message you’d like to pass on the world?

Shakuntala: Throughout my life, I faced many challenges as a woman in a male-dominated

field. But I always believed in my abilities, and I never let others define my limits."

"Remember, everyone, whether it’s math or any dream you have, you can achieve anything with
determination. The future belongs to the curious."

Rohit: Wow, I feel inspired and motivated, Unfortunately, our time’s up! It was a pleasure
meeting you Mam

Shakuntala: Thank you.

--
Siva (Advaith): Wow, this is such an awe inspiring story.

Rayona: Okay. Since you are having fun, let’s test our knowledge on maths and its history.
Maybe, we wil find our next Shakuntala Devi here.

Shayaan: Lets hand the reins to our quizmasters Juan and Shahiq.

(Quiz)

Shayaan: the bell rings, the history teachers concludes the class, and the P.E teacher enters the
next class.

(the bell rings)

Anirudh (Krish): Morning, students! How’s everyone doing?

(all students say ‘good sir’ in unison)

Anirudh: Are we all ready for some flip teaching?

Ritheesh (Shahiq): Sir is math involved in any of the games which we play??

Anirudh(krish): It is. Some well-known games like volleyball, football etc. involve a parabolic
trajectory shape as the ball is fired or kicked with an applied force. Now how about you students,
come up with your examples.

Vindhya(Benita): We use math in fitness and training. Athletes use mathematical formulas to
calculate heart rate, calorie expenditure, BMI and workout intensity.

Aidon (Juan): Broadcasters use mathematical concepts to analyze game statistics and provide
insightful commentary.

Anirudh (Krish): That was quite informative. Next games period we will look into more
applications and try to apply these concepts to our game

(bell rings)

Anirudh (Krish): Oh, the bell rang, thank you students.

Gayathri: The teacher exits, and the next teacher enters.

(bell rings)
Shaurya (Avran): Good afternoon, class! I hope youre enjoying the activities conducted for
Maths week so far!

Sai Naman: Sir, this week opened our eyes to the endless possibilities of Maths. We used to
think Math was confined only to the books, with long theorems and complex formulas, But today
we got to know that even the most mundane things are somewhat connected to maths

Advaith: We learnt Math is connected to history and sports. Now I Cant help but think if math
plays a role in creating music too.

Avran: Surprisingly, Composing music needs a certain level of math skills to organize and
calculate and analyze the pitch, timing, and structure of music. We use set theory, algebra and
many more concepts to understand the elements of music such as tempo, and chord progression.

In fact, your friends Lydia, Reuel and Shayaan have composed a delightful melody using
mathematical concepts.

(Music session, and the students perk up.)

Shaurya (Avran) See? Who knew math could sound so musical! Remember, connect math to
things you love—whether it be music or stories! That way, you’ll never forget it.

(The bell rings, and Avran exits.)

●
Rakshit: Hello everyone, I’m back! So how was your day? What did you learn?
Mercy: Sir, we truly had a wonderful day! Connecting maths to history, sports and
even music was something I never could’ve thought of, but it turns out that without
math, some of these wouldn’t even exist!
Rakshith: The best way to learn math is to connect it with real-life experiences.
Practice comes after experiential learning. I’m proud of you all gaining a new found
love for math. Before we leave, lets enjoy one last activity for the day. Fill out these
survey form, on how math impacted you.
Gayathri: Now we would like to call upon Laya & Samhitha to present the survey.

Laya: Hello everyone, Samhitha and I would like to share a presentation on tips and
tricks that can make math feel as easy as pie … or pi? Do u get it...?

(Samhitha and Laya present fun math hacks and share a survey review.)
Rakshith: So now you realise math is not only about theorems, but its about applying them
in your daily life. That’s it for today! Class dismissed.

(bell rings)

Yash: I’m amazed! I never thought math could be enjoyable with a little music and some tricks
up our sleeves!

Laya: Exactly. Too many people only see math as a textbook chore. Today, we’ve learnt it as a
subject full of creativity, history, and exciting real-world applications.

(Students clap, concluding the presentation.)

Yash: And with that, we invite our respected Principal to address us.

(After sir’s speech.)

Laya: Let’s all stand in attention for the Indian national anthem. Fists clenched, feet in V-
position!

(Indian National Anthem plays, marking the end of the assembly.)
