At Right Angles

A magazine on mathematics for schoolteachers and educators

We started At Right Angles to create material for teachers and children across the country to read about mathematics material that is not found in regular school curricula. This is the space for students and teachers to share original observations and discoveries, where beautiful results in school level mathematics can be written about and discussed.

Our intent

At Right Angles is useful for people with an interest in K‑12 mathematics education, including curriculum developers and teacher educators. The magazine addresses issues which you might face, and we hope you can benefit from learning by sharing. The articles and short pieces are written by mathematics teachers at various levels, with a view to sharing mathematical content as well as real life classroom experiences and teaching strategies.

All materials are freely available, with option to download the whole magazine. The magazine is currently produced in English and the PullOut section is translated into Hindi and Kannada.

Readers of the magazine can interact on several platforms:

Facebook Pages

AtRiUM (for secondary and higher secondary)

Math Space (for primary and upper primary)

Webinar — We invite authors and readers for live, online discussions on the third Wednesday of every month.
