Mathematics has been a part of human life from the moment people began counting the days, sharing food, and measuring the world around them. What began as simple marks on stones has grown into one of the most powerful tools in human history.
Where It All Began
Early humans used stones, sticks, and even their fingers to keep track of numbers. As civilizations grew, so did their need for better ways to calculate and measure.
• Egyptians used math to design pyramids.
• Babylonians developed early tables of multiplication.
• Greeks studied shapes, patterns, and reasoning.
• Indians gifted the world with the number zero and the place-value system.
These discoveries formed the foundation for modern mathematics.
Math Through the Ages
Over centuries, mathematics became essential in every field:
• Traders used math to weigh, measure, and keep accounts.
• Astronomers used math to study stars and predict seasons.
• Engineers and builders relied on math to construct safe roads, bridges, and monuments.
• Scientists and inventors used math to understand nature and create new technologies.
Every major milestone in human progress has a mathematical idea behind it.
Why Mathematics Matters Today
Mathematics is a subject that supports almost everything in our modern world:
• Smartphones, computers, and the internet run on mathematical principles.
• Banking, online transactions, and business depend on calculations and algorithms.
• Doctors use math in diagnosis, research, and medical technology.
• Pilots, architects, designers, and scientists all rely on mathematical skills every day.
Even simple activities—sharing snacks, playing sports, crossing the road, or telling time—involve math!
A Skill for Life
Mathematics helps us think clearly, solve problems, and make good decisions. It builds discipline, confidence, and creativity. Whether a student is in Nursery learning to count or in Class X solving equations, every step strengthens the mind.
A Message to Our Students
Mathematics is more than a subject in school—it is a universal language that connects ideas, shapes inventions, and opens doors to the future. Let us learn it with curiosity, practice it with patience, and enjoy the excitement of every new discovery. 🌟

Silent letters may be quiet, but they play a meaningful role in the English language. They guide us in understanding how a word should sound, often stretching or softening a vowel, like in made or hope. They also help us tell words apart that would otherwise look or sound the same, such as knight and night. Many silent letters are like little reminders of history, showing how English has grown and borrowed from other languages over time. They even connect words within the same family, like sign and signal, helping us see their shared meaning. In simple terms, silent letters are invisible helpers — they don’t speak, but they make reading, spelling, and understanding English much easier.

రిషిత (6వ తరగతి) చెప్పిన ప్రసంగం: “మాట మనిషిని మాణిక్యం చేస్తుంది, మట్టి మనిషిని చేస్తుంది” అనే మాట చాలా గొప్ప అర్థం కలిగి ఉంది.
మనం ఎలా మాట్లాడుతామో, మన మాటలతోనే మన వ్యక్తిత్వం తెలుస్తుంది. మంచి మాటలు మనిషిని గౌరవనీయుడిగా మారుస్తాయి. మర్యాదగా, ప్రేమగా మాట్లాడే వ్యక్తిని అందరూ ఇష్టపడతారు. అదే విధంగా కఠినంగా, అసహనంగా మాట్లాడితే మనకు ఎంత జ్ఞానం ఉన్నా కూడా మనపై నమ్మకం తగ్గిపోతుంది.
మట్టి అంటే శరీరం — దానితో మనం పని చేస్తాం, జీవితం సాగిస్తాం. కానీ మన మాటలతోనే మన హృదయాన్ని, మన ఆలోచనలను ఇతరులకు తెలియజేస్తాం. అందుకే “మాట మనిషిని మాణిక్యం చేస్తుంది” అంటారు.
రిషిత చాలా అర్థవంతంగా, స్పష్టంగా మరియు ఆత్మవిశ్వాసంతో ఈ విషయాన్ని వివరించింది. ఆమె చెప్పిన తీరు అందరినీ ఆకట్టుకుంది. 👏
