Topic : Prime factorisation of Composite Numbers
Objective
To verify the prime factorisation 150 in the form of 52 x 3 x 2
Prerequisite Knowledge
For a prime number ‘p’, p2 can be represented by the area of square whose side of length ‘p’ units.
Material Required
Graph sheet, pair of scissors, sketch pens, fevicol, etc.
Procedure
1. Draw a square on the graph paper whose each side of the length is 5 cm and then make a partition
of 25 small squares as shown in the figure.
2. Draw 3 equal squares of same size. Total area of the square = 52 x 3 cm2
3. Draw 6 equal squares of same size
Total area of the square = 52 x 3 x 2 cm2 = 150 cm2
Observation
The composite number 150 has been factorised in the form of 52 x 3 x 2
Learning Outcome:
Prime factorisation of any composite number that can be done using the squares.

TOPIC : EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH - PROBABILITY
Objective:
To set the idea of probability of an event through a double colour cards experiment.
Prerequisite Knowledge
1. Sample space and event.
2. Total number of possible outcomes.
3. Favourable outcomes.
4. Probability of an event = 𝑁𝑜.𝑜𝑓 𝑓𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠/𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙𝑛𝑜. 𝑜𝑓
𝑃𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠
Material Required
A cardboard, two colour papers, pair of dice, empty box, pair of scissors, sketch pens, fevicol, etc.
Procedure
1. Paste different colour papers, on both sides of the cardboard.
2. Divide the cardboard into 36 small squared cards.
3. Write all 36 possible outcomes obtained by throwing two dice
4. Cut and put all the cards into the empty box.
5. Now take out each card one by one without replacement and write the observation in appropriate
column.
Learning Outcome
Concept of finding the probability of an event is clear through this activity

Topic: Section Formula
Objective
To find the distance between any two given points
Prerequisite Knowledge
Knowledge about cartesian plane and its coordinate points .
Materials Required
Graph sheet, Pencil, Eraser, Scale, Scissors, Glue
Procedure
Represent the points (x1, y1) and (x2,y2) on the cartesian plane.
Draw parallel lines towards the points with respective to the axis.
To the identified right triangle in the cartesian plane finding the respective sides as x2-x1 or x1- x2 and y2y1
or y1-y2 with the adjacent sides of the right triangle.
The hypotenuse sides of the right triangle is identified as the distance between the given two points d
= 5(𝑥2 − 𝑥1)! + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1)!
Learning Outcome
The distance between any two points can be calculated by the section formula.
EXPERMENT NO: 4 DATE: 27.08.24
Topic: Basic Proportionality Theorem
Objective
To verify the basic Proportionality theorem by using parallel lines board, triangle cut outs.
Prerequisite Knowledge
Statement of Basic Proportionality theorem.
Drawing a line parallel to a given line which passes through a given point.
Materials Required
White chart paper, coloured papers, geometry box, sketch pens, fevicol, a pair of scissors, ruled paper
sheet
Procedure
1. Cut an acute-angled triangle say ABC from a coloured paper.
2. Paste the ΔABC on ruled sheet such that the base of the triangle coincides with ruled line.
3. Mark two points P and Q on AB and AC such that PQ || BC
4. Using a ruler measure the length of AP, PB, AQ and QC.
5. Repeat the same for right-angled triangle and obtuse-angled triangle.
6. Now complete the following observation table.
Learning Outcome
In each set of triangles, we verified that 𝐴𝑃/𝑃𝐵=𝐴𝑄/𝑄𝐶
Students will observe that in all the three triangles the Basic Proportionality theorem is verified.

TOPIC: Making a Clinometer
Objective
To make a mathematical instrument ‘clinometer’ to measure the height of a distant object.
Prerequisite Knowledge
Concept of angle of elevation and depression.
Properties of right-angled triangle.
Materials Required
Small pipe or drinking straw, a wooden board, wooden strip, thread, weight, screw, geometry box, etc
Procedure
1. Prepare a semi-circular protractor with the cardboard
2. Fix a hollow pipe along the diameter of it.
3. Suspend a weight (w) from a small nail fixed to the centre.
4. Ensure that the weight at the end of the string hangs below the protractor
5. Hold the clinometer steady and record the angle which the string makes on the scale of the
clinometer
Learning Outcome
Students learn how to determine the angle of elevation of an object by clinometer and use of it to
determine the height of an object at a known distance.
Observation (Left Side- USE PENCIL)
Angle of elevation 𝜃. distance between
object and clinometer d.
height of clinometer = d x tan 𝜃

Topic: Surface Area of a Sphere:
Objective
To find the surface area of sphere with the help of an activity.
Prerequisite Knowledge
Curved surface area (C.S. A.)of a right circular cylinder = 2𝜋𝑟h
Materials Required
A solid spherical plastic ball, a cylinder with height equal to the diameter of the sphere, thread, cutter,
pins, sketch pen etc Procedure
1. Divide the spherical plastic ball into two hemispherical portion with the help of a cutter.
2. Fix a pin at the top most point of the hemisphere.
3. Take a roll of thread and wind it closely on the curved surface of the hemisphere completely in the
form of spiral starting with the pin on the surface of the hemisphere
4. Take another roll of thread and wind it completely along the curved surface of the cylinder in the
form of a spiral.
5. Unwind the threads from the hemisphere and cylinder.
6. Compare the length of two threads used in wrapping
Learning Outcome
Surface area of a sphere = 4𝜋𝑟2 (verified experimentally).

= 1/2×2𝜋𝑟ℎ
= 𝜋rℎ
= 2𝜋𝑟2
= Total surface area of sphere = 2x 2𝜋𝑟2 = 4𝜋𝑟2
