 The news that was playing on TV shook Iqra to the core. Her eyes were fixed on the screen, but her heart was restless, heavy with fear and sorrow. The report was on a tragic accident at Bargi Dam in Jabalpur, Madhya Pradesh. A group of smiling vacationers had abruptly turned into a massacre and screams. She sat next to h er little son, Shad, the one who is lost in his toys. But Iqra was no longer thinking over in the room--he was wholly concentrated by one heartbreaking circumstance of the news a mother who had her little child firmly in her arms and is fighting to the last breath. The news anchor said that she could have saved herself. But she did not wish to drop her child. Though the cold waves dragged him down, she still held him against her body and before long, the two had vanished into the silence. Iqra started crying and the tears started flowing down her cheeks. So, unconsciously, she drew Shad to her and embraced him. Shad raised his eyes innocently, and said, “Ammi… wha...

 Today, every teacher dreams of cracking the TET exam. Honestly, it is considered one of the toughest exams, and the results clearly reflect this. Every year, lakhs of students eagerly wait for the notification of this exam. Most students are attracted to the teaching profession because it is a highly respectable job and also provides an opportunity to serve the nation and society. Every year, lakhs of students appear for this exam, hoping that it will make them eligible for the post of a teacher. There is also another exam between getting a job and clearing TET, which is TAIT, but for now, we will ignore that. It is very good news that the TET exam may be conducted in June or July 2026, according to reports from reliable sources. Big Update on TET Exam • The next TET (Teacher Eligibility Test) is likely to be held in June. • Each paper has 150 marks. ✅ Current Passing Marks: • General category: 90 marks (60%) • Reserved category: 83 marks (55%) • Ex-servicemen: 45% 🔄 Possible Cha...

 In our last post, we discussed maths phobia. We saw how an interesting subject slowly turned into fear for us, and how this fear passed from one generation to the next. It became so dangerous that we even started getting scared just by hearing the word maths. Let’s try to remove this phobia and begin by understanding maths. And when it comes to understanding maths, we must know the ABCD of maths. To understand maths, the very first thing we need to understand is numbers, because maths starts with numbers. So today, let’s discuss some important types of numbers. Types of Numbers 1. Natural Numbers In our daily life, we very often feel the need for counting. For example: • Counting the number of children • Counting players in a team • Counting items while shopping The numbers that help us in counting are called natural numbers. Examples: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, … 2. Even Numbers Numbers that are completely divisible by 2 are called even numbers. This means when we divide these numbers by 2, ...

 It would not be wrong to say that, among most people, there exists a kind of fear associated with the subject of mathematics. In the field of education, there is perhaps no phobia greater than math phobia. Who knows why the subject that is closest to our daily life is the very one we fear the most. The moment the name “mathematics” is mentioned, students begin to break into a sweat. Anyway, this phobia has existed among humans for a very long time, and it would not be wrong to say that, psychologically, it has become dominant in human DNA. Everyone panics as soon as its name is heard, while the mathematics book stands smiling in some corner, as if saying, “Look at me—my condition is still the same as it was when I was first created, because students are afraid even to touch me.” I am just like a newlywed bride. The books of other subjects weep over their condition, because they have been used so ruthlessly that their pages are dirty, worn out, and often no longer even in their pro...

 Finding the roots of a quadratic equation using the factorization method We take a quadratic equation: x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 First, we check whether there is any coefficient of  x2. This means we see if any number other than 1 is multiplied with . If the coefficient of is 1, then we factor the last number (6) in such a way that the sum of the factors is 5 (or −5, depending on the sign of the middle term). Finding the Roots of a Quadratic Equation by Factorization Method We take a quadratic equation: x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 First, we check the coefficient of x^2. If the coefficient of x^2 is 1, we factor the last term in such a way that the sum of the factors is equal to the coefficient of x. The factors of 6 are 2 and 3, and: 2 + 3 = 5 So, the equation becomes: x^2 + 3x + 2x + 6 = 0 Now taking common factors: x(x + 3) + 2(x + 3) = 0 (x + 3)(x + 2) = 0 Equating each factor to zero: x + 3 = 0 x = -3 x + 2 = 0 x = -2 Hence, the roots of the equation are: x = -3 and x = -2 When the coefficie...

 Using a very easy trick, we can find the roots of any quadratic equation. First of all, we will understand the different parts of an equation. To understand the type of an equation, we must first understand the variable, because only then can we identify what type of equation it is. A variable in an equation is indicated by English letters. Most commonly, variables are represented by x and y, but we can use any letter. Variable: A variable is the part of an equation whose value is not fixed. In a quadratic equation, the power (or index) of the variable is always two. Examples: x² m², etc. General form of a quadratic equation: Here, a, b, and c are constants. The value of a is never zero. Set – A (Single Variable) 1. x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 2. x^3 − 4x + 1 = 0 3. 2y^2 − 7y = 0 4. 5x + 9 = 0 5. 3m^2 + 2m + 1 = 0 6. a^2 = 4 7. x^2 + x^3 = 0 8. 7p^2 − 11 Practice set: Questions 1. x^2 + 5x + 6 = 0 2. x^3 − 4x + 1 = 0 3. 2y^2 − 7y = 0 4. 5x + 9 = 0 5. 3m^2 + 2m + 1 = 0 6. a^2 = 4 7. x^2 + x^...
