The rainbow serpent was a long and giant multihued serpent that dwelt under the surface of the earth. For eons, she remained under the surface of the earth, sleeping. For eons, she did not stir. For eons, she dreamt of the vast void beyond the void in her deep slumber. For eons, she did not stir. For eons, she remained eyes-shut and smiling. For eons, she rested under the surface of the earth. Then one day, the rainbow serpent felt a remarkable stirring within her. She longed for life. She longed for existence. She slid up to the surface of the earth. There she kept sliding. With each moment and movement she kept creating new and wonderous landforms on earth. Time that had stood still started moving. She laughed and small frogs came of her mouth. These f...

Concept: Irrational numbers Once upon a time, there was a small fish. It was a quiet and playful fish. It was also a curious fish. It was severally curious and wanted to know everything about the world. It was intrigued by coral reefs and deep sea rock formations. It was intrigued by the changing colors of waters. It was also intrigued by the sea cucumbers. Then one day it came across a sea cucumber. The sea cucumber was also playful like the fish. It was also a scholar of irrational numbers.

The story of the owl Subject – Mathematics Concept – Pi Definition – Pi is the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter. It is 22/7 or 3.14. Once upon a time, a fish was swimming in the sea. And at that time, an owl was flying above. It had spotted a leaf with strange markings. There were circular patterns inside the leaf. This leaf fell into the water, where the fish found it. The fish was spotted with the leaf by the owl who swooped down and took the leaf with circular markings away. The owl took the leaf to her nest and the found out that the circles seem to be created through a compass. Some child who had a geometrical compass has most likely made the markings. The owl was looking for children with such geometrical compasses which made a circle and made it easy to calculate using pi. The owl had once been an ardent mathematician. Once he had calculated the value of Pi, for he had been there for a long time on Earth, as 22/7 or 3.14. Pi was the ratio of the circumferen...
