We can use this to develop visualization, logical reasoning and algorithmic sense in students by performing various operations with the Turtle. This can help in the building of computational thinking and you can also introduce some geometry through this.

This week, we are featuring a video on how to prove Pythagoras theorem, using Bhaskara's dissection proof. This can be a very useful activity to be given under the Vidyagama program.

#Take a look at your last digit of your cell phone number

{{Color-box|2|Resources for hands-on activities|This is a collection of hands-on activities that can be used for Vidyagama program. Check regularly for updates.

#The last step; with this number, subtract your birth year.

Now you see a three-digit number. The first digit is the last digit of your phone number, the next two digits are your actual age!  You can use the attached [http://karnatakaeducation.org.in/KOER/en/images/1/17/Phone_number_birthday_puzzle.ods spreadsheet] to solve this and find out why it works!!

[http://www.arvindguptatoys.com/arvindgupta/rompinginnumberlandeng.pdf Romping in Numberland] is an extremely interesting book where you can find some simple activities for introducing the joy of numbers.  This is a great resource for bridge course or even for students to explore numbers and will help them in their number skills and operations.
