Mathematics Projects Ideas
Project 1: Efficiency in Packing
To investigate the efficiency of packing of objects of different
shapes in a cuboid box.
(Efficiency is the percentage of box space
occupied by the objects.)
Project 2: Geometry in real life
In
this project we try to find situations in daily life where geometrical notions
can be effectively used. In particular, the student
discovers situations in which properties of similar triangles learnt in the
classroom are useful.
Project 3: Experiments on Probability
To appreciate that finding probability through
experiment is different from finding proability
by calculation. Students become sesitive towards the fact that if they increase
the number of observations, probability found through experiment approaches the
calculated probability.
Project 4: Displacement and rotation of a
geometrical figure
To study the distance between different
points of a geometrical figure when it is displaced and
/ or rotated. Enhances familiarity with co-ordinate geometry.
Project 5: Frequency of letters/ words in a language
Analysis
of a language text using graphical and pie chart techniques.

activity 1
Fourth order Magic Dance
The interplay of
mathematics and art can be very appealing. This activity makes an attempt to
present a versatile form of the fourth order magic square through a dance.
Live Lattice
Live
lattice is a lattice formed by students placed in square or rectangular
formation .
