makes us feel happy, energetic and ready to explore beyond the curriculum-activities
that align without interests and nature.

3. Additional Suggestions:
➢ Encourage your child to grow a kitchen garden by planting seeds.
➢ Provide knowledge about plants and trees, as it is an integral part of your child’s
development.

Note: Creativity and clarity will be appreciated!

 Mathematics
Prepare the projects given below (any two).
1) Comparative newspaper coverage of different items.
2) Survey the various types of Banks accounts, rate of interest offered.
3) Planning the home budget.
4) Conduct a survey in your locality to study the mode of conveyance / Price of various
essential commodities / favourite sports. Represent the data using a bar graph / histogram
and estimate the mode.
5) To use a newspaper to study and report on shares and dividends.
6) 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 drops; 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.
7) 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 generalize.
8) 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) equals 3. Try with 2 (n = 2) and more. Find
the relationship between n and m.
9) 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?
10) 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?
11) An eccentric artist says that the best paintings have the same area as their perimeter
(numerically). Let us not argue whether such sizes increase 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).
12) Find by construction the centre of a circle, using only a 60-30 set square and a pencil.
13) Various types of “cryptarithm”.
