PROJECT WORK:

Mathematics Project Guidelines:

Instructions from CBSE:
Every student will be asked to do at least one project, based on the concepts learnt in the
classroom. The project should be preferably carried out individually and not in a group. The
project may not be mere repetition or extension of the laboratory activities, but should aim at
extension of learning to real life situations. Besides, it should also be somewhat open-ended
and innovative. The project can be carried out beyond the school working hours. Some
sample projects are given in the document but these are only illustrative in nature. The
teacher may encourage the students to take up new projects. The weightage of five marks
for project work could be further split up as under
Identification and statement of the project : 01 mark
Design of the project : 01 mark
Procedure/processes adopted : 01 mark
Write-up of the project : 01 mark
Interpretation of result : 01 mark
General Instructions:
Each student is required to make a handwritten project report according to the project
allotted. Please make the project according to your class roll no. Details of projects are
given in the end.

Roll Number Project Number

1-10 1
11-20 2
21-30 3
31-40 4
41-50 5

A project has a specific starting date and an end date.

General lay-out of the project report has the following format
