After developing mathematical parks in two government schools to enhance mathematical skills of students and also to improve their learning skills, four more parks will be developed at different locations of the city by Karnal Smart City Limited (KSCL).

Among the earmarked sites, three are government schools comprising Government Primary School in Model Town, Government School in Sector 13, Government Primary School in Uchana village and the fourth site is at the Community Centre Sector 6. Earlier, two parks were developed under the D-plan in continuation with its efforts of beautifying the government-run schools, but the proposed four parks are being developed as part of the Smart City project.

The authorities claim that it will help students in understanding the practical usage of mathematics in a better way and also make the government schools exceptionally better than a private one.

“It is well said that visual mathematics is an important part of mathematics and it helps the student in learning numerical mathematics. Promoting the same principle, the KSCL is going to develop four such parks by supplying and fixing different equipment of different shapes and sizes related to mathematics to generate interest of the students,” said Nishant Kumar Yadav, Deputy Commissioner,-cum-CEO, KSCL.

With the help of these parks, the students will be able to understand the subject in a better way, he added.

The project elements comprise of three dimensional figures for different solids –cone, hemispheres, cubes, pyramids and spheres will be developed in these parks. Besides, a visual representation of pythagoras theorem, along with a tree, which will help in understanding factors through practical representation will also be there. These parks will also have formula for understanding of mathematical formulas of a cube. Models of comparison of scales will also be there to understand the different measurement units and an abacus model to learn place values easily. Apart from these, the parks will also have a manual clock to understand the working of clocks. To build a better understanding for angles, there will be clinometers.
