Preface
The Curriculum iniated by Central Board of Secondary EducaonInternaonal (CBSE-i)
is a progressive step in making the educaonal content and methodology more sensive
and responsive to the global needs. It signies the emergence of a fresh thought process
in imparng a curriculum which would restore the independence of the learner to pursue
the learning process in harmony with the exisng personal, social and cultural ethos.
The Central Board of Secondary Educaon has been providing support to the academic
needs of the learners worldwide. It has about 11000 schools aliated to it and over 130
schools situated in, more than 20 countries. The Board has always been conscious of
the varying needs of the learners in countries abroad and has been working towards
contextualizing certain elements of the learning process to the physical, geographical,
social and cultural environment in which they are engaged. The Internaonal Curriculum
being designed by CBSE-i , has been visualized and developed with these requirements in
view.
The nucleus of the enre process of construcng the curricular structure is the learner.
The objecve of the curriculum is to nurture the independence of the learner, given the
fact that every learner is unique. The learner has to understand, appreciate, protect
and build on values, beliefs and tradional wisdom, make the necessary modicaons,
improvisaons and addions wherever and whenever necessary.
The recent scienc and technological advances have thrown open the gateways of
knowledge at an astonishing pace. The speed and methods of assimilang knowledge
have put forth many challenges to the educators, forcing them to rethink their approaches
for knowledge processing by their learners. In this context, it has become imperave for
them to incorporate those skills which will enable the young learners to become life long
learners. The ability to stay current, to upgrade skills with emerging technologies, to
understand the nuances involved in change management and the relevant life skills have
to be a part of the learning domains of the global learners. The CBSE-i curriculum has
taken cognizance of these requirements.
The CBSE-i aims to carry forward the basic strength of the Indian system of educaon
while promong crical and creave thinking skills, eecve communicaon skills,
interpersonal and collaborave skills along with informaon and media skills. There is an
inbuilt exibility in the curriculum, as it provides a foundaon and an extension curriculum,
in all subject areas to cater to the dierent pace of learners.
The CBSE-i plans to introduce the curriculum in a phased manner at dierent levels
in schools aliated to CBSE at the internaonal level and subsequently, if desired, to
introduce it to other aliated schools who meet the requirements of this curriculum. The
focus is to ensure that the learner is stress-free and commied to acve learning. The
learner would be evaluated on a connuous and comprehensive basis consequent to the
mutual interacons between the teacher and the learner. There are some non-evaluave
components in the curriculum which would be commented upon by the teachers and the
school. The objecve of this part or the core of the curriculum is to scaold the learning
experiences and to relate tacit knowledge with formal knowledge. This would involve
trans-disciplinary linkages that would form the core of the learning process. Perspecves,
SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work and Acon), Life Skills and Research would
be the constuents of this Core. The Core skills are the most signicant aspects of a
learners holisc growth and learning curve.
The Internaonal Curriculum has been designed keeping in view the foundaons of the
Naonal Curriculum Framework (NCF 2005) and the experience gathered by the Board
over the last seven decades in imparng eecve learning to millions of learners, many
of whom are now global cizens.
The Board does not interpret this development as an alternave to other curricula
exisng at the internaonal level, but as an exercise in providing the much needed Indian
leadership for global educaon at the school level. The Internaonal Curriculum would
evolve on its own, building on learning experiences inside the classroom over a period
of me. The Board while addressing the issues of empowerment with the help of the
schools administering this system strongly recommends that praccing teachers become
skillful learners on their own and also transfer their learning experiences to their peers
through the interacve plaorms provided by the Board.
I profusely thank Shri G. Balasubramanian, former Director (Academics), CBSE, Ms. Abha
Adams and her team and Dr. Sadhana Parashar, Head (Innovaons and Research) CBSE
alongwith other Educaon Ocers involved in the development and implementaon of
this material.
The CBSE-i website will enable all stakeholders to parcipate in this iniave through the
discussion forums provided on the portal. Any further suggesons are welcome.

Lesson Plan-a
Topic: Shapes and Space
Duraon : 2 hrs
Brief DescriponThis is one of the rst lessons the children will learn on shapes, four basic
geometric shapes and the names of the shapes, as well as each of their characteriscs.
The knowledge acquired in this lesson will give the children knowledge of dierent shapes
as well as other dening characteriscs. The students may have background knowledge
from their home life in this area of study.
Learning Objectives
As a result of this lesson, the students will be able to :
Create mental images of geometric shapes using spaal memory and spaal
visualizaon.
Material Required
Flashcards (See examples at the end of the lesson plan), Worksheet, Rhymes, Puzzles.)
Teacher Activity
1) First, ask the students if they know any names of shapes. Also inquire about where
they see dierent shapes around their homes or outside. Give examples of ones
own. (Examples: lights on a trac light, television sets, buildings etc.)
2) Say to the class the following: Today we will be learning about 4 basic shapes- circle,
square, triangle and rectangle. We see these dierent shapes everyday, and it is
very important for us to recognize these shapes. We will be counng the sides and
corners of each shape. By doing this, we will be able to idenfy the name of the
shape.
3) First, we will learn about circles. Circles are round. Can anyone give me an example
of a circular object in your house? What about in our classroom? Circles do not have
straight edges or corners. ( show the smiley circle shape cutout to the students).
41
4) Next we will learn about squares. There are many squares in our everyday life. Can
anyone think of an object that has a square shape? Squares have four straight sides
that are all equal. (show the smiley square shape cutout; poinng to the shape)
Two sides meet to form corners. There are four corners in every square. We are in a
squared room right now. There are four corners in this room.
5) Aer that, we will learn about rectangles. Rectangles are almost like squares, but
their sides are not all the same size. (show the smiley rectangle shape cutout) Next,
we will learn about triangles. Triangles have three sides. (show the smiley triangle
shape cutout, point to this shape) Two sides of a triangle come together to form
corners also. How many corners does a triangle have? Can anyone think of some
triangles we see in everyday life?
Student Activity
A puzzle will be handed out to the students. Each student will individually nish and show
the teacher the puzzle when completed. Time alloed would be 15 minutes
Rhyme on Shapes
I am Cindy Circle.
