How to Make Math’s Park Working Model

by

AIM OF THE MODEL

The aim of the Math’s Park Working Model is to present different mathematics concepts in the form of a park, where each section represents a topic. This model helps students understand mathematics through visual learning, interaction, and real-life representation.

CONCEPTS COVERED IN THE MODEL

  1. Number System
  2. Quadrilateral Types
  3. Factor Tree
  4. 3D Shapes
  5. Solid Shapes
  6. Basic Geometry

MATERIALS REQUIRED

Base & Structure

  • Thermocol sheet / thick cardboard (base)
  • Cardboard boxes
  • Color chart papers (green, red, blue, yellow)
  • White paper rolls / straws (pillars)

Models & Shapes

  • Cardboard for 3D shapes
  • Foam sheets / colored paper
  • Ice-cream sticks
  • Split pins

Tools

  • Scissors / cutter
  • Fevicol / hot glue
  • Sketch pens / markers
  • Ruler

STEP-BY-STEP CONSTRUCTION PROCESS

STEP 1: Preparing the Base of Math’s Park

  1. Take a large thermocol or cardboard base.
  2. Cover it with green chart paper to represent grass in a park.
  3. Fix red boundary walls around the sides using cardboard strips.
  4. Draw or paste white pathway strips to give a park-like look.

👉 This forms the foundation of the Math’s Park.

STEP 2: Making the Entrance Gate

  1. Cut two vertical pillars using rolled white paper or cardboard tubes.
  2. Fix them at the front of the base.
  3. Place a horizontal strip on top.
  4. Write “MATHS PARK MODEL” clearly.

👉 This gives a realistic park entrance.

STEP 3: Central Quadrilateral Zone (Main Attraction)

  1. Cut a large octagon or circular board.
  2. Divide it into sections.
  3. Paste different quadrilateral shapes:
    • Square
    • Rectangle
    • Rhombus
    • Parallelogram
    • Trapezium
  4. Color each section differently.
  5. Fix this in the center of the park.

👉 This acts as the main interactive learning zone.

STEP 4: Number System Flower Model

  1. Cut multiple circular layers of cardboard in decreasing sizes.
  2. Write:
    • Natural Numbers
    • Whole Numbers
    • Integers
    • Rational Numbers
    • Real Numbers
  3. Fix all circles one above the other using a stick.
  4. Color them like petals of a flower.
  5. Place this model at the back center.

👉 This visually explains the number system hierarchy.

STEP 5: Factor Tree Model

  1. Cut a tree shape from cardboard.
  2. Write a number at the top (example: 600).
  3. Draw branches showing factorization.
  4. Fix it on a green circular base.
  5. Place it on one side of the park.

👉 This helps understand prime factorization easily.

STEP 6: 3D Shapes Section

  1. Make different 3D shapes using cardboard:
    • Cube
    • Cuboid
    • Cylinder
    • Cone
    • Pyramid
  2. Color each shape neatly.
  3. Label each shape clearly.
  4. Fix them along the park pathways.

👉 Students can easily identify solid shapes.

STEP 7: Geometry & Shape Information Boards

  1. Cut small standing boards.
  2. Write short information about:
    • Properties of shapes
    • Faces, edges, vertices
  3. Fix them near the corresponding models.

👉 This acts like information boards in a real park.

STEP 8: Final Decoration & Finishing

  1. Add grass patches using green paper.
  2. Use bright colors for attraction.
  3. Ensure all labels are neat and readable.
  4. Check stability of each component.

CONCLUSION

The Math’s Park Working Model is an innovative and creative way to represent mathematical concepts in a real-life theme. By combining learning with visualization, this model helps students understand maths easily and develops interest in the subject. It is ideal for exhibitions, competitions, and classroom demonstrations.
