An individual Maths Fair item in which a student draws a chart that shows geometry ideas, scored out of 100 at all four school levels.
A Geometrical Chart presents a geometry idea visually: types of triangles, properties of quadrilaterals, angles in a circle, symmetry, tessellations or the construction of regular polygons. It is judged on mathematical value and on how precisely it is drawn.
In the The Kerala School Sasthrolsavam Mathematics Fair (Ganithashastramela) it is an individual item open to girls and boys at Lower Primary, Upper Primary, High School and Higher Secondary/VHSE, sharing its table with Number Chart and Other Chart.
Accuracy is the signature of a good geometry chart: right angles that are right, equal sides that are equal and symmetry that really is symmetrical. Colour and labelling help the viewer, but the figures themselves must be correct.
The student also writes a short note and explains the chart to the judges.
Where Geometrical Chart is run
This item is part of the official Kerala School Sasthrolsavam Mathematics Fair, the state school mathematics exhibition that runs from school level through sub-district, district and state rounds, and is installed on eTalenter through the Maths Fair template built from the official item list and evaluation indicators. This page describes the Kerala format only.
- Kerala, India

What judges look at in Geometrical Chart
What a Geometrical Chart panel is actually weighing up, and where the marks are usually won or lost:
- Knowledge of content and mathematical value (30): correct geometry with a clear point.
- Relationship with the curriculum (20): matches the class syllabus.
- Mode of presentation and write-up (25): logical layout and clear note.
- Beauty and perfection (15): accurate construction and neat finish.
- Exhibition (10): confident explanation.
Treat these as the judging focus, not a fixed rubric: publish your own weighted criteria for Geometrical Chart under Scoring Setup, or start from the judging and scoring software guide.
How to prepare for Geometrical Chart
How entrants and their teachers usually get Geometrical Chart right on the day:
- Choose one geometry idea and sketch the layout first.
- Use a sharp pencil, compass and protractor, and measure twice.
- Label each figure with its name and one property.
- Use colour to separate ideas, not to decorate.
- Write a short note linking the chart to a textbook topic.
- Practise explaining how you constructed one figure.
- Keep the chart flat and clean when you travel.
- Idea to try: a chart of triangle types with the angle sums shown
- Idea to try: symmetry in Kerala kolam and rangoli patterns
- Idea to try: regular polygons and their interior angles
