What is Out of The Box Thinking (OOBT) through Mathematics?
Accessible to school students, the course spans four graded levels, each introducing various problem-solving strategies. It emphasizes creative, out-of-the-box thinking by encouraging students to approach challenges with unique, non-linear solutions, moving beyond traditional methods. Whether it’s solving puzzles or managing projects, OOBT equips students to think creatively and logically, preparing them for the expanding world of technology.
Key Benefits of
Out-of-the-Box Thinking (OOBT) in Mathematics

Mastering Logic as a Tool for Innovation
While logic serves as the foundation of mathematics, this course goes beyond traditional approaches, demonstrating how logical reasoning can solve complex, real-world problems in diverse fields, particularly in technology.

Rediscovering the World of Mathematics
Students are invited to revisit familiar concepts with a fresh mindset while exploring new mathematical realms. This process helps them uncover hidden patterns and deeper insights, transforming their understanding of both known and unknown mathematical principles.

Unleashing Creativity and Expanding Horizons
OOBT fosters creative thinking, encouraging students to look beyond conventional solutions. They are empowered to approach mathematical challenges from new angles, unlocking fresh perspectives that lead to innovative problem-solving.

Empowering Problem-Solving with Unconventional Ideas
OOBT emphasizes the power of unconventional thinking, pushing students to embrace non-traditional approaches to problem-solving. By stepping away from standard methods, they are taught how to devise unique solutions that are not immediately obvious.

Transforming Problem-Solving with Indirect Methods
The course challenges students to think creatively, employing indirect, imaginative strategies that transcend standard problem-solving algorithms. This builds the ability to tackle complex challenges with ease and originality.

Equipping for Real-World Challenges
The course goes beyond theoretical learning, illustrating the practical applications of mathematical thinking in today’s technology-driven world. Students are equipped with the critical thinking and creative problem-solving skills necessary to tackle modern challenges and drive innovation.

As the founder director of Aryabhatta Institute of Mathematical Sciences since 1997, he has been conducting nurture programmes from primary to high school students, inculcating in them a love for problem solving, thus leading to Mathematical and other Olympiads.
Many of his students have chosen Mathematics as their career and a lot are doing research in the same.
He has been a resource person for several Mathematical Olympiad exposure camps at regional, national, and international levels, apart from conducting several teacher orientation and enrichment programs.
Shri Sadagopan Rajesh
He is associated with Prof Kamakoti V, for about two decades, currently the Director of IIT M and under his inspiration, developed courses such as Beautiful Maths, etc… which have been productive in terms of propagation of Mathematics. This has culminated in this venture of OOBT courses with different levels (Out of the Box Thinking through Mathematics) to have a greater reach to students and professionals.
His popular taglines are: Keep Enjoying Mathematics; Formulation (Idea) is better than a rented formula.
According to Shri Sadagopan Rajesh, if we approach mathematics with discipline and passion not necessarily in a formal way but realize the subject with more logical and analytical reasoning, we can broaden our thinking. The important output is the development of skills which are essential to fit and effectively contribute in a rapidly changing technological world.
