Vidya Balan talks about a Cuemath demo class
Vidya Balan played the role of a mathematician in her latest film Shakuntala Devi. She shared a post as she collaborated with a math program in order to solve a huge problem in parents' lives. She made an appeal to all the moms whose kids hate math because it is complicated. She attended a demo lecture herself out of curiosity and learned something new. She added that she had memorised the sum of all angles of a triangle, but never posed the question 'why' the sum is 180 degree. Vidya was hooked as the math class gave her visual proof while teaching.
Vidya also mentioned that she was astonished when she realised that she was ordering a pizza in the wrong way all this while. She wrote, "two medium 8" pizza has less pizza as compared to one 12" pizza" She mentioned that it was the area of the pizza that mattered and not the diameter. She concluded by writing that math is all around us and kids need to learn it efficiently.
