Abstract

I got an extra period in class today. It was towards the end of the day, so I decided not to continue the regular classroom discussion. I was searching through the book “Apne Haath Ganit” for a one-period activity that would engage the children. I came across a topic called “Kaprekar’s constant.” From the name, it sounded like a high school topic, but I verified the Kaprekar constant routine with a few numbers, and it worked! This part was actually simple enough to design an exploration for Class 3 students, which is what I was looking for.
