Abstract

In January 2025, two editors of At Right Angles made a visit to the District Institutes of the Azim Premji Foundation at Bhopal and Damoh. As part of this visit, they spent time at some of the schools that the Resource Persons of the Foundation interact with. This Pullout is a follow up of the observations made by Padmapriya Shirali who was part of this expedition. In Padmapriya’s words: In the primary and middle school classrooms at Bhopal, I noticed a lot of beautiful artwork created by students displayed on the bulletin boards. Sneha, who was with me remarked on how such interest in art could be used in mathematical learning. This article is an exploration of how we connect an enjoyable and satisfying act such as weaving, with mathematics.
