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🌷🌷.

My Journey as a Maths Teacher – Part 2

  🧒 From Grade 3 to Guiding Future Teachers It gives me immense pleasure to be of some help to my younger mathematics teaching colleagues like Shruti Goel, Laly, Preeti Garg, Misha Nambiar, Rajendra Paliwal , and many others—across subjects and across schools. But things weren’t always this way. 📘 The Indore Phase – Simplicity, Struggle, and Silent Growth After leaving Mumbai in 1988, I served as a school teacher at Choithram School, Indore , till 1992. I even taught Grades 3 to 5 in a single session . Yet, the spirit was always high. I loved taking classes, creating activity sheets, and even wrote articles I mailed to U.S. education journals —long before emails were common. If there was one shortcoming I admit, it was in checking large stacks of answer books. I often rationalised, “I’m a creative person, so it’s okay.” In hindsight, it wasn’t—but the honesty helped me grow. 🔄 The Decade of Churn (1988–1997) It was a whirlwind decade. Imagine this combination: Ph.D. ...
