INTERNAL ASSESSMENT

Mathematics
Class 10 B
Prepare a Maths project on any one of the topics given below.
Date of Submission of the project : 10 July 2015.
Suggested Topics for Maths Project:
1. Comparative newspaper coverage of different items.
2. Survey of various types of Bank accounts, rates of interest offered. 
3. Planning a home budget.
4. Cutting a circle into equal sections of a small central angle to find the area of a
circle by using the formula A = πr2.
5. To use flat cut outs to form cube, cuboids, pyramids and cones and to obtain
formulae for volume and total surface area.
6. Draw a circle of radius r on a 1/2 cm graph paper, and then on a 2 mm graph
paper. Estimate the area enclosed in each case by actually counting the squares.
Now try out with circles of different radii. Establish the pattern, if any, between the
two observed values and the theoretical value (area = πr2). Any modifications?
7. To use a newspaper to study and report on shares and dividends.
8. Set up a dropper with ink in it vertical at a height say 20 cm above a horizontally
placed sheet of plain paper. Release one ink drop; observe the pattern, if any, on the
paper. Vary the vertical distance and repeat. Discover any pattern of relationship
between the vertical height and the ink drop observed.
9. You are provided (or you construct a model as shown) - three vertical sticks (size
of a pencil) stuck to a horizontal board. You should also have discs of varying sizes
with holes (like a doughnut). Start with one disc; place it on (in) stick A. Transfer it
to another stick (B or C); this is one move (m). Now try with two discs placed in A
such that the large disc is below and the smaller disc is above (number of discs =
n=2 now). Now transfer them one at a time in B or C to obtain similar situation
(larger disc below). How many moves? Try with more discs (n = 1, 2, 3, etc.) and
generalise.
10. The board has some holes to hold marbles, red on one side and blue on the other.
Start with one pair. Interchange the positions by making one move at a time. A
marble can jump over another to fill the hole behind. The move (m) equal 3. Try
with 2 (n=2) and more. Find relationship between n and m.
11. Take a square sheet of paper of side 10 cm. Four small squares are to be cut from
the corners of the square sheet and then the paper folded at the cuts to form an open
box. What should be the size of the squares cut so that the volume of the open box
is maximum?
12. Take an open box, four sets of marbles (ensuring that marbles in each set are of the
same size) and some water. By placing the marbles and water in the box, attempt to
answer the question: do larger marbles or smaller marbles occupy more volume in a
given space?
13. An eccentric artist says that the best paintings have the same area as their perimeter
(numerically). Let us not argue whether such sizes increases the viewer’s
appreciation, but only try and find what sides (in integers only) a rectangle must
have if its area and perimeter are to be equal (note: there are only two such
rectangles).
14. Find by construction the centre of a circle, using only a 60-30 setsquare and a
pencil.
15. Various types of “Cryptarithm”.
