preface Mathematics 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 aim of this manual is to develop a complete understanding of the subject. 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. This manual is a part of Formative Assessment in CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation) scheme and 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 learn Mathematics in a meaningful way. It provides the instructor with the resources to make student s mathematical activity the focus of attention. Misprints/mistakes have been removed and some important questions have been included in Viva-Voce as per the requirement to familiarise students with the latest trend. The author is very thankful to all those who have helped in preparation 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. AUTHOR

Mathematics Laboratory Reasons 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: l Prospective teachers who learn Mathematics through appropriate use of manipulatives, models and diagrams are more likely to develop a solid conceptual basis and a deeper understanding of the Mathematics they will teach. l Prospective teachers who learn Mathematics by being actively involved in doing Mathematics will be more likely to teach in the same manner. l 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. l Becoming familiar with manipulatives and models in structured activities and projects will help prepare prospective teachers to develop similar lessons for their students. l Tactile and visual approaches provide mental images that, for some students, can be easily retained to provide understanding for symbolic representations. l Computers provide an aid for study materials.

Salient features The salient features of this lab manual are: 1. It motivates the unmotivated. 2. As per new CCE (Continuous and Comprehensive Evaluation) scheme given by CBSE and has been divided termwise. 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. 5. 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.
