Delhi Primary School Teacher’s Classroom Activity Goes Viral, Impresses Netizens
A Delhi-based primary school teacher, Sapna, has captured the internet’s attention with a creative classroom activity that demonstrates the arm span-to-height ratio. Shared on Instagram, her video has gone viral, amassing over 16 million views.
In the video, Sapna engages her students in a hands-on lesson. She invites a student to step forward and positions her bent arm towards the ground while raising her other hand towards the blackboard. She then instructs the student to mark the point where her outstretched hand meets the board. Standing straight, Sapna shows that her height matches this mark, effectively illustrating the concept that her arm span is nearly equal to her height a phenomenon known as the one-to-one arm span-to-height ratio.
The video resonated with viewers for its simplicity and effectiveness, sparking appreciation in the comments section. One user described it as “enlightening,” while another referenced Acharya Charak, an ancient Ayurvedic scholar who made similar observations about human body proportions.
Through this activity, Sapna brought an ancient observation to life in a way that was accessible and engaging for her young students.
