Project 2 : Data Handling

 


 



Project 3 – Data Handling

Project Title: Walk in Their Shoes – A Survey on Shoe Preferences

📌 Objective

To collect, organize, and analyze data to find out:
- What types of shoes are most popular?
- What shoe colors are most preferred?
- Are these preferences influenced by age and gender?

🛠️ Instructions for Students

1. Design a Survey (Group or Individual)

Prepare 5 questions to ask people. These must include:
- Age group of the person ( decide on appropriate age groups like 0-10 , 10-20, 20-30 or 0-5, 5-10, 10-15, etc)
- Gender
- Preferred type of shoes
- Favorite shoe color
- Occasion of use (casual, sports, formal, etc.)

You may add more questions or similar questions

2. Organise the Data

- Make a neat table of all responses.
- Tally the data – How many people preferred each shoe type/color?
 

A sample table has been shown for organizing the data

3. Data representation : Represent the data by at least  3 Graphs/Charts

- Use bar graphs, pie charts, or pictographs to show:
  - Popular shoe types
  - Favorite colors
  - Gender-wise or age-wise preferences

You may decide to represent any other data also

4. Write an Inference

Mention at least 3–4 findings, such as:
- "Most girls in the 11–14 age group prefer white sneakers."
- "Black shoes were the most popular among all genders."

Give it a thought:

During the course of your study, you must have observed that there are no shoe sizes which cater to the Indian population. Recently, it was proposed that there should be a unit of shoe size which caters to the specifications of Indian feet and the name of this unit was proposed as “Bha”.

                                        

During the course of your survey, did people express a difficulty in getting appropriate footwear?

How often did they have to compromise on their comfort and likeness of designs?

Write a small paragraph on your experience and opinion.

🖼️ Presentation Requirements

- A4 sheets or scrapbook
- Neatly written headings and subheadings
- Colored graphs
- Use printed pictures if available (optional)
- Creativity is encouraged!

Project 3 : Triangulation and Interior angles of a Polygon

  Exploring Interior Angles of Polygons Class : VIII Objective: To discover the sum of interior angles of polygons without using direct formulae. To explore and apply different triangulation techniques on various polygons. To connect geometry with real-world structures and patterns. Materials Required: Colored paper Scissors Glue Pre-printed polygon templates Project Guidelines: 1. Polygon Selection: Choose a minimum of 4 regular and 4 irregular polygons. Include both convex and concave types. Each polygon must have a unique number of sides . 2. Triangulation: Use two triangulation techniques to divide each polygon into triangles: Fixed Vertex Method : All triangles originate from a single chosen vertex. Piece-wise Method : Triangles are formed by connecting non-adjacent vertices across the polygon. Use both methods at least once among your polygons....

Project 17 : Fibonacci Sequence

  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...
