Mathematics

Greetings, math enthusiasts! As we move to another academic year and embrace the warmth of summer, it's
time to embark on a thrilling mathematical odyssey. This holiday homework gives you an opportunity to
explore, discover, and celebrate the wonders of mathematics beyond the confines of the classroom.
From designing intricate geometric patterns to solving real-world problems using mathematical modeling,
the possibilities are endless. This isn't just about solving equations or memorizing formulas; it's about
unleashing your imagination, improving your problem-solving skills, and fostering a deeper appreciation for
the beauty and relevance of mathematics in our daily lives.

Part-I (Activity - Fractal Coral Reefs) :

Fractals are geometric shapes that repeat themselves at smaller scales, creating intricate and beautiful
patterns. For example (fractals in coral reefs - Image of coral reefs found around the Andaman and Nicobar
Islands)

Task: create your own fractal coral reef design using mathematical patterns and principles.

5
Materials Needed:
● Drawing paper or canvas
● Colored pencils or marker pens etc
Activity Steps:
1. Start with a simple geometric shape, like a triangle or a square, and then repeat and scale it down to
create intricate patterns resembling coral formations.
2. Use mathematical concepts such as symmetry, repetition, and scaling to create your designs.
3. Once the design is complete, you can use colored pencils or marker pens to add vibrant colors
inspired by the coral reefs found in the Andaman and Nicobar Islands.
Display the finished artworks to showcase the integration of math and art inspired by the natural beauty of
the islands.
