PROJECT WORK TOPICS FOR CLASS IX AND X

-
--> Dear All We are well aware that CBSE is acknowledging the concept of internal assessment in Mathematics for the past three years wherein a student studying in class IX and X is supposed to submit a project work in Mathematics. This project can be in the form of extended learning in the subject or related to real life situations as well. Click here to download the evaluation performa for the same. I have observed that students are usually confused while selecting the topic for their project work. That is why; I want to share a few possible topics to help them pick up a suitable topic which suits their aptitude and attitude (as separate posts). Students will have the liberty to take the decision of taking up individual or a group projects (though they need the consent of their concerned math's teacher!). I would also discuss (in brief) about each topic and share some related resources which may prove to be helpful. few suggested topics are: 1. day on given ...

Special properties of number 24 (Today’s Date)

-
1. 24 is the factorial of 4 (24 = 4!). 2. 24 is an Abundant Number. In number theory, an abundant number or excessive number is a number for which the sum of its proper divisors is greater than the number itself. The first few abundant numbers are 12, 18, 20, 24, 30, 36, ... There are only 21 abundant numbers less than 100, and they are all even. 3. 24 is the largest number divisible by all numbers less than its square root. 4. It is a highly composite number, having more divisors than any smaller number. 5. 24 is a semiperfect number, since adding up all the proper divisors of 24 except 4 and 8 gives 24. 6. Subtracting 1 from any of its divisors (except 1 and 2, but including itself) yields a prime number; 24 is the largest number with this property. 7. 24 is a Harshad number (number divisible by its sum of digits). 8. The product of any four consecutive numbers is divisible by 24. 9. 24 is the only nontrivial solution to the cannonball p...

Making Mathematics Simpler! NCERT class XII Solutions

-
Dear Students Of Class XII It is observed that many a times, after teachers have explained certain topics and have discussed certain questions from the related exercise, not all the questions of the exercise are being solved/attempted by the students. It is practically impossible and undesirable for the teacher to solve each and every question in the class itself. The remaining questions are supposed to be attempted by the student at home. However, it is very much possible that the student is unable to successfully solve all of them. After discussing this issue with the students, I have decided to make the NCERT textbook solutions available at my blog. The solutions are taken from www.meritnation.com. You can directly visit this website but you will first need to register there and the solution of only one question can be seen at a time. This might be a cumbersome process while you are checking your answers. Therefore, to  save the student’s time and to make those solutio...
