Hi Agnishom;

Polynomials or Probability are the two most interesting topics on that list.

Start here

http://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/polynomials.html

and follow all the links.

Or

http://www.mathsisfun.com/data/probability.html

When you are done here we can flesh out your speech with some more.

hi Agnishom,

Have I got this correct?  If you win the school elimination round you then go in for the competition where the topic is given to you rather than you choosing it.

Bob

So if you get chosen, you'll need to practise something else = how to deliver a good speech (on anything).

Do you get any notice / advanced warning, of a topic at all?

Does everyone get the same topic?

How do they make it fair to the early competitors if the later ones hear their speech?

What are the criteria for the judging ?

Bob

Hhhmmm.  That's a tough challenge.

If everyone got the same topic then it would be unfair to the earlier presenters if later presenters could listen.  But, it seems that isn't the case.

Do you know the exact conditions for the speech such as size of room, size of audience, display board available, microphone ......

Let us know how your school speech goes.

Good luck.

Bob

Here's what happened in school today:
I met my teacher in a blank class after school.
He instructed me to start my speech.
I gave my speech but massacred the last part a bit
He warned me about that
Then he called another teacher into the room and he instructed another candidate to give his speech
BTW he talked about congruence of triangles ( I could have chosen that topic but I didn't know what should I have told about it)
After he finished The FIRST teacher told me to deliver my speech once again because The SECOND teacher is present now
I gave the speech again
This time I did the end better but the FIRST speech was still better because I flushed some information from my brain after it
My teacher asked me a question which I couldn't answer because I couldn't understand it AT THAT MOMENT
However, I have it clear now

Anyway, it was OK
OH YEAH, your links did help a lot

I don't know whether our Maths teacher shall select me because he shall still judge a few more candidates.
But I think that he favors me.

I don't know all the conditions but here are some of them:
Participants are allowed to talk for 5 -6 minutes
The topic shall come from within a syllabus of Class 8, 9 and 10
There will be 40 marks on presentation, 20 on fluency, 10 on Question-Answer session 20 on a written test at the end ( I can't remember it!)
Participants are allowed to use upto 5 aids like charts, slides, etc

Here is a question about the last rule I just mentioned:
I don't think I shall be able to prepare a chart or slide with extreme perfection just within 15 minutes because I will have to think about what I shall speak about more than thinking about slides.
Do you think that I should use them?

Hi Agnishom;

Do not use the slides if you are still struggling with other parts of your presentation. After this is over post your presentation or at least an outline of it. I would like to hear it.

Tomorrow We have the final elimination in the school.
I am going to talk about probability.
Pls give me list of topics that is related to probability, so that I can enhance my knowledge for tomorrow

P.S.: Wish me Good Luck!

Theoretical and experimental probability
two events ... dependant and independent cases ... tree diagrams
Bayes theorem
interesting cases such as the Monty Hall problem and the chances of getting a particular card hand.

That should be enough for 15 minutes.

Bob

Good Luck! 

Hi Agnishom;

Lecture on the bell curve.

Hi Agnishom;

It is not the end of the world. Maybe next time.

Hi;

Is everyone in your school like you?

Hi Agnishom

Bobbym probably asked if everyone in your school stays calm and keeps his cool like you. It is a magnificent thing to have, the ability to stay calm at certain situations. It would be very good if your whole school was like that (which it is probably not).
