Mathematics is a fundamental part of human thoughts and logic, and integral to attempt at understanding the world and ourselves. Mathematics provides an effective way of building mental discipline and encourages logical reasoning and mental rigor. In Sri Lankan education system mathematics hold a special place and knowledge on basic mathematics is essential. But unfortunately districts like Badulla haven't enough facilities to promote mathematic education. Due to that several students are getting below 40% average as their mathematics result, by considering this massive issue we, Rotaract Club of Badulla decided to organize a seminar especially for the O/L students who have below 40% average result for mathematics in Badulla education zone.

Our main objective was to provide basic mathematical knowledge to students who have below 40% average result for mathematics and encourage them for upcoming ordinary level examination.

As the initial step we got the permission from zonal education office to conduct the seminar for students who have below 40% average mark for the mathematics and through the zonal education office the details was informed to the particular schools as well. Then we got the help of special set of educators from the university (lecturers from science and technology department) to create the mathematics paper up-to the standard level. And finally certify the paper from zonal education office prior to the seminar. Since the project was mainly aimed at students who go with the lower mark for their exams we were highly concerned about the quality of the paper.

 

We got the recognition from the Badulla educational zone for initiative, because Nanasara was a unique seminar totally focused on rural schools and mathematically weak students. And they have requested from Rotaract club of Badulla to conduct this sort of seminars again.
