107Mathematics laboratory is a place where students can learn and explore
mathematical concepts and verify mathematical facts and results (theorems and
formulae) through a variety of activities and projects using easily available non-
costly materials, These activities and projects can be carried out by teachers
and students to explore, to learn and to create interest of students in the subject
and develop positive attitude towards the subject
‘The primary purpose of this laboratory manual is to engage the secondary
school teachers in mathematical activities and projects that will enhance their
conceptual knowledge, introduce them to important manipulatives, and model
the kind of mathematical learning experiences they will be expected to provide
for their students.
‘The CBSE and other state boards, strongly assert that students learn mathematics
well only when they construct their own mathematical thinking. Information can
be transmitted from one person to another but mathematical understanding and
knowledge come from within the learner as that individual explores, discovers,
and makes connections.
The CCE or Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation scheme covers all
the aspects of a student’s development. The termwise syllabus for laboratory
activities and projects will necessarily be accessed through formative assessments.
This book contains activities and projects to actively engage students in
mathematical explorations. It provides the teachers an opportunity to examine
and Jean mathematics in a meaningful way. It provides the instructor with the
resources to make student’s mathematical activity the focus of attention.
Thave put my sincere efforts and knowledge to make you understand the subject,
matter in the simplest and easiest form. A great care has been taken to avoid
mistakes. The author is very thankful to all those who have helped in prepara
tion of this book, especially Mr. Sunil Bajaj (Head of Mathematics Department
SCERT, Gurgaon, Haryana) and Mr. Virender Rathee (Little Angles Sr. Sec
School, Sonipat, Haryana)
Wish you a grand success in your examination, and a very bright future in
the field of Mathematics.
Valuable and constructive suggestions are always most welcome
AUTHORREASONS FOR MATHEMATICAL ACTIVITIES
AND PROJECTS
It is well known that effective teachers have a good understanding of
the mathematics they teach and are skillful in choosing and using a
variety of appropriate instructional techniques. The importance of using
manipulatives in mathematics teaching and learning is well documented
and amply illustrated in this book. The activities and projects allow
students to think deeply about how manipulatives and visual models
help to understand the mathematical concepts. Students experience
mathematics directly by using models that embody concepts and promote
mathematical thinking. This book represents the belief that
© Prospective teachers who lear mathematics through appropriate use
of manipulatives, models and diagrams are more likely to develop a
solid conceptual basis and a deeper understanding of the mathematies
they will teach
© Prospective teachers who learn mathematics by being actively
involved in doing mathematics will be more likely to teach in the
same manner.
© Prospective teachers who use manipulatives effectively in their learning
will experience how manipulatives assist understanding and be more
likely to use them effectively in their teaching,
© Becoming familiar with manipulatives and models in structured
activities and projects will help prepare prospective teachers to develop
similar lessons for their students
¢ Tactile and visual approaches provide mental images that, for some
students, can be easily retained to provide understanding for symbolic
representations.The salient features of this lab manual are:
1, It motivates the unmotivated.
2. As per new CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluai
scheme given by CBSE and has been divided termwise.
mn)
3. It provides instructors with activities and projects to actively
engage students in mathematical explorations—When the teachers
engage in these activities and projects, they enhance their mathematical
knowledge, become familiar with manipulatives, and model the kind
of math learning experiences they will one day provide for their
students,
4. It provides active learning—each of the activity and project sets
use physical materials or visual models to provide a content for
increased understanding and retention. Students are able to grasp and
intercept concepts more easily and in an active manner. Models
and visuals help students to better understand the material.
It provides cooperative learning—each of the activity and project
sets are designed so that they can be completed by students
individually or in small groups. Students learn to communicate
about mathematics, and how to work together to solve problems,
6. It provides individual reflections—the framework of student’s
activity set encourages students to describe patterns, discuss their
thinking and thought processes, as well as write explanations of
their reasoning. Develops critical thinking skills and the ability to
communicate about mathematics.
7. The DVD contains a lot of activities to enhance the overall
mathematical development of students.2.

Why is the number line called the real number line?
Wo know that a real number is eithor rational or irrational. So, we can say that every real number is
represented by a unique point on the number line. Also, every point on the number line represents a
unique real number. That is why we call the number line, the real number line.
Name the mathematicians who showed that corresponding to every real number there is a point on
the real number line, and corresponding to every point on the number line, there exists a unique
real number.
