"Think, Explore, Create: Summer Projects that Spark the Mind"

  Cross Sections in the Real World – From Saws to Software Objective: To explore how the mathematical concept of cross sections is applied in real life – in fields like carpentry, 3D design, and architecture – and to build models (physical or digital) using stacked cross sections. Project Overview: In this project, you will: Learn what a cross section is and how it is formed. Investigate how carpenters use different kinds of cuts (like bevel, mitre, straight cuts) and what cross sections are produced. Explore how engineers and designers use CAD software to create 3D objects by stacking cross-sectional layers. Create your own model using paper, cardboard, or any creative material — OR design a digital 3D shape by showing how stacking 2D slices forms a 3D object. Present your project through drawings, models, or a short write-up/video explaining what you did and learned. Suggested Activities & Section...

                                           Mathematical Study of Coins Look at the coins that you use every day. Did you know that collecting coins is a hobby called **Numismatics**?  This fascinating hobby gives us a window into the history of our country and the world. Each coin tells a story – about the era it was minted in, the leaders in power, and the technology available at the time. https://mycoincollection2023.blogspot.com/2024/05/my-mothers-coin-collection-enduring.html   World over , the size, weight, and materials used in coins have changed over the years. Can you guess why? – Was it to reduce production cost? – Was it due to the changing value of metals? – Or because of new minting technologies? This project invites you to take a deep dive into the world of coins – but with a special focus on **Mathematics**! Objective...

  🧁 Math Project: "Maths in the Kitchen – Party Planning for 20!" 🎉 Dear Students, You are invited to plan a fun Children’s Party for 20 kids – but with a twist! You’ll be using math skills to scale recipes, convert measurements, and organize the ingredients just like a real chef. 🎯 Your Task: You are the party cook! You will: Choose 3 recipes (1 snack, 1 drink, and 1 dessert) Scale them up to serve 20 children Convert all measurements to standard metric units Estimate the total cost of the ingredients Present your final menu with neatly organized ingredients 🧠 Math Skills You Will Use: Ratios & Proportions – to scale your recipes Unit Conversions – like cups to ml, grams to kg, etc. Multiplying & Dividing Decimals and Fractions – for ingredient adjustments Estimation   and Rounding off – e.g., rounding 2.66 eggs to 3 eggs Data Handling – organize your ingredients in a table ...

  Project 17 – Fibonacci Sequence The Golden Thread: Exploring Fibonacci Across Subjects The Golden Thread: Exploring Fibonacci Across Subjects Objective: To explore the fascinating Fibonacci sequence — its patterns in mathematics, appearances in nature, historical background, and exciting connections with other subjects like art, music, literature, and more! 🔢 Part A: Mathematical Core (20 marks) 1. Understanding the Sequence (5 marks): Write the first 20 terms of the Fibonacci sequence. Describe the pattern in your own words. Make a colorful number chain or chart to show how it grows. 2. Fibonacci Word Problems (5 marks): Solve 3 word problems based on the sequence. Examples: A pair of rabbits gives birth every month starting from the second month. How many pairs will there be after 6 months? A staircase has steps arranged in a Fibonacci pattern. How many steps will be in the 7th row? ( You may create your o...
