 Outcome & Conclusion

Interviewer – Kairav Kumar
Interviewee – Priya Prasad
Profession – Human Resources Professional
 Main Question – Do you think numbers are fun?

 Numbers are extremely fun subject. It is extremely significant in everyone’s life. It also depends upon how its taught
in school. If it’s taught in the right manner from the very beginning, students can imbibe and enjoy number in life.
 Sub-Question 1 – How do you think numbers are significant in your life?

 Numbers are very important in everyone’s life start from the very beginning. From the childhood, as we start
schooling whatever career we opt for numbers play a very important role.
 Sub-Question 2 – How are numbers important in your daily life?

 As a home-maker numbers are important in my life as I need to manage my expenses and savings. At work, since I
am an HR professional I need to manage manpower numbers, cost and budget etc. Even in nature, things like
atmospheric pressure and temperature in terms of numbers are very important.
 Sub-Question 3 – What’s your favourite topic in maths?

 Ratio and proportion is my favourite topic when it comes to number. For example, if a TV is made as circle, it will
look funny or the sofa we are sitting on in disproportionate, it will look weird.
 Sub-Question 4 – Today’s generation thinks Maths is not so interesting so it should be dropped,

your views on the same?
 Its not at all a good idea to drop maths as whichever career one opts for maths is very integral part. In arts, drawings
need to be done in a proportion, in commerce you need to manage your balance sheet, engineering is all about
numbers.

Interviewer – Jeel Mandowara
Interviewee – Mr. B.D. Seymour
Profession – Principal, G.D. Somani Memorial School

 If you have good teacher and teacher gives you a freedom to learn in a fun way, multiple ways of approaching the
answer. It appears like a puzzle. If it’s forced it becomes a compulsion from a puzzle and people . Puzzle helps to
discover and challenging which people enjoy.

 As (am) a student coming from small town , we were taught to do our own thing. Start from planning, designing,
planning, building, construction numbers are significant in our life.

 Any part of our life doesn’t involve number. How much you eat, what time you leave your home, when you reach
school, so no one can basically live without maths in their life. When in you grow older your body’s vital parameters
are all about numbers.

 Fun with numbers.
 Sub-Question 4 – Today’s generation thinks Maths is not so interesting so it should be dropped,

your views on the same?
 I basically believe that maths should never be dropped unless you have better option as maths teaches logic and
helps to think logically that’s how people succeed in life. So one should study maths at least till standard 10th .

Interviewer – Karan Shah
Interviewee – Soham Kumar Choudhary
Profession –Applied Art Illustrator & Professional

 With the help of numbers, we can do lot of fun drawing. Like I wrote number 2 and then drew a swan from the
number. Similarly I can draw many things from numbers and I find it really funny. I also like teaching these
techniques to my students so that they have fun while learning arts.

 Since am an artist every time create a work, or do fine art I have to calculate and divide the parts appropriately
and that’s how it is important in my life.

 (showed) Suppose I am drawing a portrait, I divide the figure in two parts then I again divide it into 2 parts, that’s
how I get the proper proportion to draw eyes and other facial features.

 I like the way maths is linked to arts.
 Sub-Question 4 – Today’s generation thinks Maths is not so interesting so it should be

dropped, your views on the same?
 As you grow up, and you are going for any field, you needs maths. Suppose if you start even a business you need to
know the numbers to do calculation etc.
 Interview video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fP-tnxo-XzU
Interviewer – Khush Patel
Interviewee –Dilip Kanaujia
Profession – B. E., Maths Teacher

 Since I like mathematics its fun for me but for some they don’t enjoy maths and it becomes boring for them. We
can introduce some interesting teaching methodology where teachers are actively involved and make it a more fun
based learning than the rote learning.

 Maths is my bread and butter since I am into teaching mathematics. I also have a bachelors degree in engineering
so it is very important for me.

 It is very important in daily life. For example if we go to a mall and there is 25% discount we can quickly calculate
the selling price of the item(s). Another example is that for suppose we go to buy some groceries we can quickly
calculate the total amount and not end up paying more than we have to. So basically we all are playing with
numbers be it a housewife, vegetable vendor, business, stock broker or even a small child.

 My favourite topic in maths is calculus starting with trigonometry, derivatives and integration, limits and
everything pertaining to calculus. I also like solving Sudoku in newspaper and magazines.
 Sub-Question 4 – Today’s generation thinks Maths is not so interesting so it should be dropped, your views
on the same?
 Maths is an important subject but it should not be made compulsory at all levels of schooling. Only the important
topic which can be used in day-to-day life should be made compulsory.

 If maths is taught to you properly and in a right manner from the childhood then numbers are absolutely fun. As
a student I thoroughly enjoy doing maths.

 Numbers are basic for everything. Life is span of time so even calculate time we need to know maths. Also suppose
if I want to talk to my friend then I need to know the phone number.

 Maths is important in our daily life activities start from taking grocery, cooking, bank work, traveling or making
calculation.
 Sub-Question 3 – Today’s generation thinks Maths is not so interesting so it should be

dropped, your views on the same?
 Its necessary to study all the subjects and a subject like maths is very important as it very important in our daily
life and day-to-day activities.

Research – Fun with numbers
 Some cool numbers and equations that are sure to surprise and enjoy all our fun math facts
 111111111 x 111111111 = 12345678987654321
 12 + 3 - 4 + 5 + 67 + 8 + 9 = 100
 1x8+1=9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321
 The number 142857 is rather special. When you multiply it the digits found in the answer stay the same, just in
a different order. Check it out:
 1 x 142857 = 142857
2 x 142857 = 285714
3 x 142857 = 428571
4 x 142857 = 571428
5 x 142857 = 714285
6 x 142857 = 857142
 What happens when you multiply it by 7? You get another rather special number:
 7 x 142857 = 999999
 And it doesn't stop there:
 142 + 857 = 999
14 + 28 + 57 = 99
 142857 x 142857 = 20408122449
20408 + 122449 = 142857
That’s one amazing number! Isn’t it    

Research – Fun concepts with numbers
 Vampire Numbers: A website that features vampire numbers, or numbers that can be written as
the product of two numbers (called vampire fangs) that contain the same numerals the same
number of times as the vampire number. An example would be 1827 = 21 x 87.
 History and Philosophy of Pi: A website by web developer Brian Taylor that presents
information and history concerning the number pi. It lists many interesting facts about pi: For
instance, if you were to write out pi to one billion decimal places, it would stretch from New
York to Kansas.
 Googolplexian: This site shows a Googolplexian, which is the largest number with a name. It is
the number 1 followed by a googolplex of zeros. A googol is the digit 1 followed by a hundred
zeroes. A googolplex is the digit one followed by a googol of zeroes.
 CombinationLock.com: A website that features a multitude of free math games. These games
challenge the user to find clues and eventually discover the combination to open a lock.
 Introducing Runsums: A site run by Ron Knott, a professor of mathematics at the University of
Surrey, that explains the concept of the "runsum," or the sum of a run of whole numbers (such
as 4 + 5 + 6 = 15).
Absolute Fun with Numbers
Outcome & Conclusion
 Purpose
 To establish numbers as fun
 Brainstorming
 Team brain-stormed the survey outcomes
 Also did online research to establish the purpose
 Major Findings
 Numbers are an integral part of human being and
it’s required in all walks in life
 It is responsibility of the education system to
ensure that maths is taught in a fun way so that
everyone enjoys numbers
 As we grow up we can’t escape numbers in any
field so one should enjoy numbers to make their
life easy
 Limitation
 We could interview only 5 people who were from
different fields and age group so there was not
much uniformity in the thought process
For reading our efforts in this research, to all those who gave time for
interviews and teachers for giving this opportunity.
