Mathematics Project Guidelines (2024 - 25)

This is an individual project. You are required to submit a Project on the topic assigned to you
according to the given instructions. The booklet is compulsory. The project booklet finally should
be hand-written, spiral bound/hard bound/punched N tagged, and should contain a minimum
of twelve A4 size pages. The booklet should be accompanied by a chart and a model.
Substantiate your work with evidence like drawings, photographs, interviews, etc.

The cover page of your booklet should be creative and must carry your name, class, and section
and appropriate title.

Your Project will count for internal assessment for the board exam along with other parameters.
You are required to submit both on the date mentioned below. Any delay in submission will lead
to loss of marks. The project should include the following sections:

1. Title page: indicating the title of your project, its author, the course name, and the date.

2. Index: list of the contents of the booklet organized in the order in which they appear.

3. Acknowledgement: This could include the following words-

“I take this opportunity to express a deep sense of gratitude to the Department of Mathematics
for their guidance and encouragement for this project.

I also express my profound gratitude and deep regard to my guide (Teacher/Mentor Faculty
Name) for his/her help and cordial support, valuable information and guidance, which helped me
in completing this task through various stages.

Lastly, I would like to thank my family and friends for their constant encouragement without
which this assignment would not be possible. “

4. An introduction: consisting of a brief description of their context and importance, and the
mathematical methods you used.

5. Core content: The actual elaborate work done by the student on the topic.
The student should establish meaningful connections of the topic to his prior knowledge and
experiences, through the body of the project. The student is expected to examine real- world
dilemmas, natural processes and advances in technology, related to the topic. A systematic and
relevant research work is expected to be carried out, so as to integrate, synthesize and critically
evaluate the information collected during the research.
His findings should be an outcome of deep thought, discussions, genuine and sustained inquiry
leading to a better understanding of the topic and a neat presentation of the same will constitute
the body of the project.
6. Summary: Summarize the results obtained from the solutions described in the body.

7. Conclusion: Comment on the significance of the results, reflecting on your learning

experiences on the various factors involved in the completion of the project, such as: first-hand
experiences, interaction with professionals in the relevant domain, the new concepts dealt with.
Indicate if the problem needs further investigation, and, if so, the direction future research
should take.

8. Time chart: either as a tabulated data/graphical representation, indicating clearly the time
taken for collection, organization, compilation, representation etc.

9. Bibliography: list of resources: websites (other than Wikipedia and Google), books, resource
personnel.

Main purpose of the project: The main purpose of this project is to give you a chance to develop
a personal insight into the nature of Mathematics and develop your ability to ask your own
questions about Mathematics. This project will enable you to initiate and sustain a piece of work
in Mathematics that is truly your own. This will enable you to acquire confidence in developing
strategies for dealing with new situations and problems no matter where they occur. You should
be able to use this project to also see connections and applications of Mathematics in other areas
of interest outside of the "typical" Mathematics settings.

Project booklets must be submitted on the 5th of June, Wednesday.

Your Project assessment will be based on the following criteria:
