Jugaad is a Punjabi word that essentially means using innovative
approaches to solve problems effectively given limited resources
and, as such, was chosen as the name for this UK-India
collaborative educational research project into the role of
Maths in Technology. Year 9 Pupils from southfields Academy and
Bluebells School New Delhi, have been investigating the role of
maths in an area of technology that interests them; the standard
of work has surprised all expectations! These 13 and 14 year
olds have completed extensive research into topics as diverse as
maths in medicine and maths in space, and discovered, for
themselves, topics that go way beyond the KS3 curriculum such as
The Bernoulli Principle and calculus. You can see examples of
the students work below but to read more about this exciting
