QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS:
1)Can you please introduce yourself?
Ans: ANUSHKA:My Name is Anushka Alkuti and I am a student at Pawar Public School.
GANESH SIR:My name is Ganesh Salunkhe and I am a Physics Teacher at Pawar Public School.
2)Do you like Maths?

Ans: ANUSHKA:My favorite sport is volleyball.
GANESH SIR:My Favorite sport is football.
4)How is Maths used in your favorite sport?
Ans:
ANUSHKA:Maths is used in the measurement of the court and in measuring the dimensions of the ball and in measuring the dimensions of the nets.Also concepts like angles and trigonometry come into play when we play volleyball.
GANESH SIR:Maths is used in many ways in football.It is used to count the number of players in a team that is eleven players.It is also used in the measurement of the court .Players also use angles and a concept called trigonometry to determine which is the best direction and angle for kicking the ball. Referees also use maths during the game.They follow a concept called the 'Diagonal System of Control' where the referees run along the diagonal of the court so that they have a greater area of vision during the game.

COMPARITIVE STUDY
We compared our research work with the Hasanat High School in Mumbai.
PAWAR PUBLIC SCHOOL |
HASANAT HIGH SCHOOL |
The students of the Hasanat High School(Sports group)have done a very good job in their presentation.They have also demonstrated great writing skills in their introduction and research work.
They have chosen three sports but they differ to the ones we selected,namely Volleyball,Gymnastics and Kabaddi.
They have also made models of the courts of their selected sports,something that we did not think of doing.
They have presented their research work through text while we used a Prezi and two Powerpoint files.
We mainly focused on the math concepts used in sports while they focused on the dimensions of the courts of their selected sports.

CONCLUSION AND REFLECTION
In the end we concluded that maths is a subject which plays an important role in one's life.It is used in most of the games we play,though we are not aware of it.We,the members of the Republic of Restless found the project extremely informative as we were made aware of the math concepts used in sports.We also had fun during the course of the project and enjoyed taking interviews and shooting for videos.We also learnt the values of teamwork during the course of the project.In the end I would like to conclude that our EUMIND Project has helped us to gain more knowledge and has also helped us in improving our speaking,writing and presentation skills in all spheres.
