The Triangular World
Lesson 2
2.1 Essential
Question:
Can you find the height of a tall tree with the help of a page
of notebook?
2.2 Grouping
Strategy:
Group Formation:
To begin with teacher
briefed about “project based learning”.
Seven students with proficiency in mathematics were
selected. They formed their group by nominating one student at a time. This helped to maintain balance in the overall calibre of each group. Thus the
class has been divided into 7 groups comprising of Six members.
Three students were assigned the duty of creating a blog and uploading in it.
Group Composition:
While group formation,care has been taken for the group to be heterogeneous. Each group had a coordinator to coordinate the works and to compile the
products . The whole project is subdivided and each group is assigned with tasks
and subtasks. Every member had a definite role apart from the group
activity.
2.3 Learning
Environment:
The typical class room learning environment has been adapted to a
wide canvas.
The concept
is split into small units and mastered with hands-on activities and demonstrations. The whole campus has been utilized for activities .They have access to
computer and internet in the lab for their online research ,blog creation and updating.. Mathematics Lab and LCD room can be used for activities and Seminars.

2.4 Assessment
Approach:
2.41 Authentic Assessment:
In order to have an authentic
Assessment each Group will carry out the following
tasks:-
· 1. Find the height of any two tall objects in the
campus using an improvised clinometer.
2.Group discussion on the application of trigonometry in daily life.
3. Make a report on the activity done
4. Make a Power point presentation/
5. Conduct a seminar on the given topic
6.Prepare all objects needed for the projects (models, charts, cut-outs.. )and hold an exhibition of these artifacts
7.Solve the textual questions using the concepts acquired through project based learning

7.Solve the textual questions using the concepts acquired through project based learning
2.42 Formative Assessment:
The progress
of the project has to be assessed frequently.
For the first
ten days, hold a get-together on every third day. Conduct
need based meeting and discussion
to ascertain that a course of action is in the
desirable direction. Appraise the development of each sub tasks .
2.43 Summative Assessment:
Assessment will be conducted based on :–
> Hands-on activity and its report
> Preparation
of artifacts
> Power
point presentation
> Utilization of Online resources
> Seminar
Presentation
> Problem solving ability
2.44 Rubrics:
Rubrics will include performance of Hands-on activity and its effective reporting, Effectiveness of Power point presentation, Utilization of Online resources, Excellence of Seminar Presentation, Accuracy and computation skill in Problem solving.
