Inventure Academy has won the Titan Genius Kidz Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam Award on Feb 27th, 2010. The award was specially instituted to recognize the school’s exceptional performance across all categories of entries from Grades 4-10 at the District, State and National level. The Guests of Honor at the function were Ms. Suparna Mitra, Global Head – Marketing, Titan Industries Ltd and Ms. Meera Raghavan, Maths Advisor.
Dr Natraj, Director of Genius Kidz, acknowledged this achievement by saying, “Inventure Academy is the only school with such a good performance across the board. At the end of the day, it is team work that is important, not individual performances. And this has been proved by their victory.”
This achievement validates what Inventure Academy stands for: Quality education by leveraging the best practices of both traditional and contemporary schools of education. Performance is measured by the student ‘s excellence in academics and co-curricular activities.
A total of 7000 students participated from 113 Schools affiliated to State, CBSE or ISCE boards from Karnataka, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Rajasthan for this event. 600 gold and silver medals were given to the winners and runners-up at the school level after the event. 127 district level winners, 24 state level winners and 6 national level winners were awarded Certificates, Trophies, Mementoes, Cash Prizes, etc. in a separate function conducted on Saturday, 27th February, 2010 at JSS Auditorium, Jayanagar, Bangalore. Schools that won individual prizes in the Bangalore urban category included St. Josephs’ Boys School and National Hill View Public School.
“This prestigious award won by the school is testimony to its high educational standards and the effectiveness of the methodologies followed in teaching the students as the exam was a high-level test of application skills.” adds Mr. Saiganesh, proud father of Sanchit, Grade 5.

Anybody having difficulty with squares and square roots? Your guide awaits.
I don’t particularly enjoy people going against me when I show off, but I have to say I am an absolute topper in my math class. Algebra, easy. Geometry, easy. Fractions, easy. Basic arithmetic, easiest. That’s why today I’m going to help with solving squares of numbers, and this a very easy method. Atleast it’s more easier than multiplying a number with the same number.
Now I myself only know the squares of numbers upto 25 by heart, and I’m only 13 years old. I’m not going to show off and simply dictate it. I’m going to give my method.
Here’s the tip
• Square of 1- 1
• Square of 2- 4
• Square of 3- 9
• Square of 4- 16
• Square of 5- 25
• Square of 6- 36
Take all these numbers into hand, and try to find a pattern. If you can’t find any, here’s a hint: subtraction. Look at the difference of 4 and 1. It’s 3. For 4 and 9? It’s 5. And for 9 and 16, it’s 7. Now, the differences are 3, 5 and 7. If you continue you will get 9, 11, 13, 15 and so on.
Got the tip? It is simply adding two more to the square from the previous square. If you didn’t understand what I just said, here’s how it goes-
Suppose you want the square root of 11. Simply use the method to get it to the square of 10, which is 100. That is, square of 1 plus 3 to get the square of 2, square of 2 plus the previous odd number used+ 2, which is 5, to get 9, which is the square root of 3. This method you can use till however long you please.
Now let’s get back to the sum we want to solve. The square of 11. By following the method, get it to the square of 10, which is 100. Difference between square of 10 and 9, 100-81 which is 19. Now you have the number 19. Add two to that, to get 21. Then you add that number to 100 and you’ll get the square of 11, exactly 121.
Pretty neat isn’t it?
