  Have you ever stood in a vast cathedral or church, and looked up at a large circular stained glass window dominating one of the walls? Did you know it was called a rose window ? Rose window is often used as a generic term applied to a circular window but is especially used for those found in Gothic cathedrals and churches. This type of window is called a rose window or a wheel window to refer to the fact that it's made of a series of smaller windows radiating out from the center like wheel spokes or flower petals. The rose window is one of the most representative elements of Gothic art and architecture . Their symbolism lies in geometry and the sense that many parts make a whole. When we study them, we begin to realize that these windows are made of geometric shapes. Whatever the style of window, all of the elements come together in a single cohesive design, the real and symbolic whole In this project, we will use Codeblocks and develop algorithms for the typical geometries of ...

  Let’s face it, sometimes revision can be boring and it’s difficult for kids to motivate themselves. By the time students get to the end of term, their interest in preparing for exams can usually need some help. Today, I'll be sharing a revision activity for the classroom/home that can be used to help kids revise for exams with some fun before they do their exams. Using Games as a revision strategy not only makes it fun but also helps: 1) To develop an enthusiastic learner. 2) To motivate and engage students. 3) Reduce monotonous learning methods. 4) To help students with focus, self-esteem, and memory. 5) They can foster whole-class participation. 6) Games build class cohesion. 7) Games promote healthy competition Inspired by Snakes and Ladder board game , this game will make kids love to revise.

A few months ago, I posted " Infinite Supernova ". But when I looked at the comments sections, I felt that while it really looks beautiful and is fun to build but it is time taking (we need to make 50 units before assembling) and people who are new to Origami may find it difficult. So its time to get to the basic and in this project, I'll be making a mini and easy version of "Infinite Supernova" which requires only 5 units... Yes, you heard it right... and while we are on it, we'll also learn some basic terms used in origami folding. Things We Need 5 Origami papers, 15 cm x 15 cm Flat surface for folding Paper glue Building Block: Making a Unit (1/3) Place the origami paper on a flat surface and fold the square paper vertically in half. Crease it well by sharpening it with a fingernail (Pic 1). Now, holding the upper layer, fold it vertically in half like a valley (Pic 2). This fold is known as  Valley Fold  because the crease is at the bottom and the paper...
