A practical mela was conducted at the Indore Deaf Bilingual Academy (IDBA) during its 31st summer camp, featuring Deaf students from nursery to college level.

  • Geometry: 2D–3D transformations and logical puzzles.
  • Market Math: Demonstrations involving fruit, vegetable, and ration sales.

Junior Level & Food Logic

  • Foundations: Shapes, "before and after," and the concept of ones, tens, and hundreds.
  • Interactive Stalls: Food stalls for Pani Puri, Chaat, Bhel, and Nimbu Pani used to explain real-time pricing and transactions.

"The aim was to connect subject content with practical situations."

— Monica Punjabi Verma, IDBA
