ICSE Internal Assessment

 INTERNAL ASSESSMENT
The minimum number of assignments: Two assignments as prescribed by the teacher.
Suggested Assignments

  • Comparative newspaper coverage of different items.
  • Survey of various types of Bank accounts, rates of interest offered.
  • Planning a home budget.
  • Conduct a survey in your locality to study the mode of conveyance / Price of various essential commodities / favourite sports. Represent the data using a bar graph / histogram and estimate the mode.
  • To use a newspaper to study and report on shares and dividends.
  • Set up a dropper with ink in it vertical at a height say 20 cm above a horizontally placed sheet of plain paper. Release one ink drop; observe the pattern, if any, on the paper. Vary the vertical distance and repeat. Discover any pattern of relationship between the vertical height and the ink drop observed.
  • You are provided (or you construct a model as shown) - three vertical sticks (size of a pencil) stuck to a horizontal board. You should also have discs of varying sizes with holes (like a doughnut). Start with one disc; place it on (in) stick A. Transfer it to another stick (B or C); this is one move (m). Now try with two discs placed in A such that the large disc is below, and the smaller disc is above (number of discs = n=2 now). Now transfer them one at a time in B or C to obtain similar situation (larger disc below). How many moves? Try with more discs (n = 1, 2, 3, etc.) and generalise.

  • The board has some holes to hold marbles, red on one side and blue on the other. Start with one pair. Interchange the positions by making one move at a time. A marble can jump over another to fill the hole behind. The move (m) equal 3. Try with 2 (n=2) and more. Find the relationship between n and m.


 

  • Take a square sheet of paper of side 10 cm. Four small squares are to be cut from the corners of the square sheet and then the paper folded at the cuts to form an open box. What should be the size of the squares cut so that the volume of the open box is maximum?
  • Take an open box, four sets of marbles (ensuring that marbles in each set are of the same size) and some water. By placing the marbles and water in the box, attempt to answer the question: do larger marbles or smaller marbles occupy more volume in a given space?
  • An eccentric artist says that the best paintings have the same area as their perimeter (numerically). Let us not argue whether such sizes increase the viewer’s appreciation, but only try and find what sides (in integers only) a rectangle must have if its area and perimeter are to be equal (Note: there are only two such rectangles). 
  • Find by construction the centre of a circle, using only a 60-30 setsquare and a pencil.
  • Various types of “cryptarithm”

EVALUATION
The assignments/project work are to be evaluated by the subject teacher and by an External Examiner. (The External Examiner may be a teacher nominated by the Head of the school, who could be from the faculty, but not teaching the subject in the section/class. For example, a teacher of Mathematics of Class VIII may be deputed to be an External Examiner for Class X, Mathematics projects.)
The Internal Examiner and the External Examiner will assess the assignments independently.
Award of Marks                                             (20 Marks)
Subject Teacher (Internal Examiner)             10 marks
External Examiner                                         10 marks

 The total marks obtained out of 20 are to be sent to CISCE by the Head of the school.
The Head of the school will be responsible for the online entry of marks on CISCE’s CAREERS portal by the due date.

1.1.Introduction 1.2.The Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic   Theorem 1.1 (Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic) : Every composite number can be expressed (factorised) as a product of primes, and this factorisation is unique, apart from the order in which the prime factors occur. Applications of FTA 1. To determine the unit's or one's digit of a number given in exponential form. 2.To find LCM/HCF  of two or more numbers.  HCF = Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers ( when written in Prime Factorization form ) LCM = Product of the greatest power of each prime factor, involved in the numbers ( when written in Prime Factorization form ) Example 1 : Consider the numbers 4n , where n is a natural number. Check whether there is any value of n for which 4ⁿ ends with the digit zero. Example 2 : Find the LCM and HCF of 6 and 20 by the prime factorisation method.    [ AP SQP-2025  ] Example 3: Find the HCF of 96 and 404 by the...
