The topic for the Maths project of Grade 1 was “Measurements”. In this project the students’ learnt how to compare and estimate the mass (weight), length and capacity. Furthermore, the students were introduced the non-standard units as heavier, lighter, longer, more, and less through activities. Each student participated with excitement and enthusiasm.
Grade 2’s topic was “Bar Graph and Data Collection”. In this project students were excited to conduct surveys to collect the data of the favourite subjects, from their family members and friends which they represented on the bar graph.
Topic of Grade 3 was “Position and Movement”. In this project the students were able to understand the use of grid, plot co-ordinates and follow directions in order to make a school map and students contributed eagerly.
Topic of Grade 4 was “Geometric Quilt”. In this project the students’ worked in groups to design a quilt using different geometrical shapes. They were able to learn techniques to analyse and describe geometrical patterns. Their good coordination and group work lead to the successful completion of the quilt.
Grade 5 represented various facts of our school through mathematical expressions. In this project the students’ took pride in celebrating 160 years of our beloved school. Later, they excitedly showed their presentations in different classes and were appreciated.
Grade 6’s project’s title was “Measuring on the Go”. The students worked in groups to maintain their stations to show how they can work with different non-standard measuring tools such as hand span, foot span, cubit, punch and fist when standard measuring tools are not available. They also gave invitation cards to the teachers to attend their stations, where they illustrated how to effectively use various body parts for approximate measurements. They conducted informative sessions where they marketed their ideas innovatively and distributed souvenirs.
The project that was conducted in Grade 7 was about “Overcoming Nash Equilibrium” where the students played tic-tac toe on a 3×3 and 4×4 grid and recorded their data in the tables provided in the booklet. After they played on the grid with equal rows and columns they designed a game with their own set of rules keeping in mind the condition that the columns had to be greater than the rows. Great ideas related to the game were flowing in from the students and they had enjoyed creating their game. Later on they were taught about how the concept of game theory can be applied to the real life phenomenon and how they should be humble and not be selfish.
The project of Grade 8 was titled “Save the Museum” in which the students worked in groups to make a financial plan to recover the loss and bring the museum out of deficit. They visited a museum and observed video to study the working of effective museum. They conducted surveys, advertised through pamphlets and made plans including expenditure and income they could encounter when organizing an exhibition to promote their museum. Finally, they presented their plans in front of their class mates that are finances and government officials who would help save their museum through financial support.
