To commemorate the birth anniversary of the great Indian mathematician, Srinivasa Ramanujan, St. Lawrence High School & Jr. College celebrates ‘National Mathematics Day’ annually. To mark this occasion, a maths quiz was organized for both junior (grades 5, 6, 7) and senior (grades 8, 9, 10) grades. The event aimed to foster a love for mathematics, encourage analytical thinking, and help students overcome the fear of maths.
