Mathematics and Life 8 Ways to be Creative

Ways to be creative


Today we will discuss the four different major ways of being creative.

The four P’s as discussed by Prof. Passi are

  1. Person

  2. Product

  3. Process

  4. Press or the environment

Creative Person means someone who thinks altogether differently, works differently, reacts differently. All artiste, actors, designers, fashion Trend setters, Inventors come under this category. 

A very good discussion you can see here 

https://youtu.be/5EarvYtrbQo. Try to identify your own qualities and work towards the remaining.

Creative Product means a product that is unheard of like the great Indian sagas Ramayan, Bhagwad Geeta, iTune making world of music in your pocket, the theory of relativity, vaccines these are some of the products that never existed before. But have not been replaced since they came on scene. Other, different innovations also are creative products be it mobile, airplane….

Creative Process There some processes which guarantee a creative outcome. Like the Sanskaar or rituals in India are processes to shape thoughts, social behaviour. Like we have training interventions in the corporate sector which have specific, desired, outcomes. We can develop such working processes which result in a creative outcome.

The Press or environment Specialised institutes, training camps are the examples where the entire environment, experience, is such that you tend to be creative by default. Like in the vipashna shivir you tend to be quiet by choice.

    This episode of Beyond Abacus has a novel thing. While we are reading, by clicking the link, we could see a marvelous video also. It is really 👌.
    4 p's are also really good. As a teacher I think It is very useful for me for my students. I admire Indian culture very much. When I am going through these lines I am sure Beyond Abacus will be a value based educational organization which can influence positively to the upcoming generations and can make them very creative and productive. Good wishes sir..🥰Good going.👏👏. Waiting for the next🌷🌷.

Mathematics and Life 2 About me - Early Childhood to formating years

  Overview  Past   36 years I have been a maths classroom teacher by choice.  Childhood and family Born in a Maharashtrian Bramhin family in 1960, with father being a medical doctor, childhood was very blissfully ignorant of the ground realities of the world. Being a government doctor with zero PR activities, I continue the trend, transfer or long posting in tribal areas was a norm. We spent 6 years in Bastar district in early 1970s. One of the most interesting things to recall is we three brothers often used to sit and talk a lot in Hindi. In the presence of parents, we three used to interchangeably toggle Hindi - Marathi. Hindi with brothers, Marathi with parents. In 8th standard, the elder brother school fee was a whopping 30 paise per month, my huge fee was 15 paise per month and the third had to pay nothing in the Government Multi purpose school Bastar. Moving to Indore To reduce the stressful impact of transfers on our studies, in 1976 myself and elder bro...

Mathematics and Life 4 Mathematics as just a computational tool

  The importance of definition  I would like to discuss how the policy makers', parent body, school administrators, investors', teachers' perception of what is it to be good at maths ? affects the students and ultimately the workforce, industry, economy in general. 1. Mathematics as a computational tool    This is the current, popular perception of knowing maths. Our classroom teachings, examination system, wide spread tutoring, coaching business all tend to develop, appreciate, the skill of reaching one unique answer as fast as possible. The Abacus or its various versions, as a training tool are classic examples of this. Students are expected to be too good at a skill in past 61 years of life I have not needed. I ask the readers, how often, if at all, you needed to find 5813 x 3876 infraction of a minute and that too accurately ? I bet never. But, just as a ritual, under peer pressure children go year after year to learn something which is first of all not needed at...
