

The aim of this activity is to explore the types of triangles: equilateral, isosceles, scalene, acute, right and obtuse triangles. In this activity, we verify the following properties of triangles:  Angle sum property of triangles.  Exterior angle property of triangles.  Sum of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the third side.  Medians of a triangle intersect at a single point.  In this activity, we learn about congruent triangles. Triangles are said to be congruent if they have same shape and size.  We study the 4 different criteria to test the congruence of triangles: SSS, SAS, ASA and AAS. We also test the RHS criteria for congruence of right angled triangles.  In this activity, we study about similar triangles. Two triangles are said to be similar if they are of same shape but different size.  In this activity, we use paper cutting to prove the Pythagoras theorem. In a right angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of squares of the other two sides.

Each of the angles in an equilateral triangle is equal to 60°.  A triangle in which any 2 sides are equal is called an isosceles triangle.  A triangle in which all the 3 sides are unequal is called a scalene triangle.  A triangle where all 3 angles are acute angles is called an acute triangle.  A triangle where one angle is equal to 90° is called a right triangle.  A triangle in which one of the angles is an obtuse angle is called an obtuse triangle.

KEY MESSAGES Triangles can be classified into different types based on the properties of their angles and sides. The six types of triangles that we have explored in this activity are: equilateral, isosceles, scalene, acute, right and obtuse triangles.

LEARNING CHECK:  

Draw different types of triangles on the board and ask the students to identify the type of triangle. Ask the students if they have seen examples of triangles in real life. For example, they might recognize a nearby building/house having a triangular structure, a local sweet/candy which is triangular in shape. Ask them to guess the type of triangle in each case.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

9 Step 4: Draw a straight line on a sheet of paper. Place the 3 angles on the straight line adjacent to each other without leaving any gap, as shown in the figure.

Step 5: Ask the students to share their observation. (We learn that ∠ABC + ∠BCA + ∠CAB = 180°, since the angles on a straight line add to 180°) 1.2b Step 1: Similar to the previous activity, draw 2 triangles of any dimensions on a coloured sheet of paper. The 2 triangles should be of the same dimensions. Label the vertices A, B and C. The interior angles are ∠ABC, ∠BCA and ∠CAB.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

Step 2: Cut one of the triangles and paste it on a white sheet of paper. On the paper, extend one of the sides BC to D, as shown in the figure.

Step 3: Cut the angles ∠ABC and ∠CAB from the other triangle.

Step 4: Place these cut angles adjacent to the angle ∠BCA, on the white sheet of paper, without leaving any gap.

Step 5: Ask the students to share their observation. (We learn that ∠ACD = ∠ABC + ∠CAB) 1.2c Step 1: Take 3 thin sticks of different lengths. Connect them with small pieces of cycle valve tubes as shown in the figure. Place them on a white sheet of paper. Label the vertices A, B and C as shown in the figure.

Step 2: Remove the cycle valve tubes. Move the side AC to lie along the side BC. Place the side AB to lie over BC. The sticks look as shown in the figure.

Step 4: Ask the students to share their observation. (BC + CA > BA) Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

12 Step 5: Repeat the experiment by comparing each side with the other 2 sides. These steps are important. (We learn that the sum of any 2 sides of a triangle is greater than the third side)

1.2d Step 1: Draw a triangle of any dimensions on a coloured paper sheet. Cut the triangle.

Step 2: To get the midpoint of side BC, fold the triangle along BC so that B coincides with C and press the paper on the side AB to get the midpoint. Unfold the paper and mark the midpoint as M.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

Step 3: Again fold the paper from the vertex A to the midpoint M. The crease AM, which you see on the paper, is a median.

Step 4: Similarly, get the other 2 medians BN and CP by folding the triangle accordingly.

Step 5: What do the students observe? (We can see that the three medians meet at a point)

UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIVITY: Leading Questions:  Explain the angle sum property of a triangle.  What is an exterior angle in a triangle? Explain the exterior angle property of a triangle.  What is the relationship between sum of any two sides of triangle and its third side?  What is a median in a triangle? What do we observe when we draw all the 3 medians of a triangle? Discussion and Explanation:  The sum of the three angles of a triangle is equal to 180°.  In a triangle, an exterior angle is formed when you extend any side of a triangle. Among the two angles formed at that vertex, one is an interior angle and the other one is called the exterior angle. The exterior angle at the vertex of a triangle is equal to the sum of the interior angles at the other two vertices.  The sum of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the other two sides.  In a triangle, a median is a line segment from the vertex of the triangle to the midpoint of the opposite side. The medians of the triangle meet at a single point. This meeting point is called a centroid.

KEY MESSAGES In this activity, we learn how to verify various properties of triangles. We discuss about relationships of angles of triangles (both interior and exterior), sides of a triangle and about medians.

LEARNING CHECK:  Draw a triangle and give values for any two angles. Ask the students to find the third angle.  Draw a triangle and give values of any two interior angles. Ask the students to find the value of the exterior angle corresponding to the third vertex. Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

 Around the school, mark 3 points (maybe a pillar, a tree etc.). Ask the students to find the shortest distance between any two points. It is very intuitive to go directly from one point to another and not through the third point. Explain to them how this is similar to the result obtained from the 1.2c activity.  Take 3 sticks with the following lengths: 3cm, 4cm and 10cm. Try forming a triangle. Discuss.  How many medians are there in a triangle?  Draw a triangle on the board using known dimensions. Among students, invite 3 of them to draw the 3 medians, thus finding the centroid in the process.

16 Link to known information/previous activity: NA Procedure: Step 1: Cut a triangle of any dimensions on a coloured paper sheet. Place the cut triangle on a white sheet and draw the outline using a pencil/pen. Label the vertices of this outline as ABC.

Step 2: Rotate the triangle by any angle downward as shown in the figure. Draw the outline of this triangle in the new position. This transformation is called rotation. Label the vertices of this new outline as PQR.

Step 3: Flip the triangle upside down and place it somewhere above as shown in the figure. This transformation is called reflection. Draw the outline and label them as XYZ.

UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIVITY: Leading Questions:  What are congruent triangles? Discussion and Explanation:  Two triangles are said to be congruent if they are of the same size and shape. If two triangles are congruent, then their corresponding angles and sides are equal.

KEY MESSAGES: In this activity, we learn the definition of congruent triangles. Two triangles are congruent if they are of the same shape and size. If a triangle undergoes rotation, reflection or translation, or a combination of them, then the resulting triangle is congruent to it.

LEARNING CHECK: 

Draw several triangles with various dimensions, some of them congruent to each other. Ask the students to identify the congruent triangles and what transformations they have undergone?

ABL 1.4

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: What are the different criteria to test congruence of triangles? ADVANCE PREPARATION: Material List 1 2 3 4 5

Material Coloured paper sheets White paper sheet A pair of scissors Protractor, ruler, compass Cardboard models of different triangles (one per rule)

Number required 1 or 2 per group 1 per group 1 per group 1 set per group 1 set for teacher

Things to Do Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4 depending on the amount of material available. Each group should receive the amount of material as specified in the Material List section. Please note that, in order to complete this activity, the students should know how to construct triangles (using compass, ruler etc.) given simple conditions, for example, when 3 sides are known etc. Safety Precautions NA

SESSION: Link to known information/previous activity: In the previous activity, we learnt what congruent triangles are. Procedure: In these set of activities, use cardboard models of triangles, a different one per congruency test. Without showing the triangle to students, give them information (depending on the test) using which they construct the triangle. Ask them to construct all possible triangles using the given information. Then, they cut those triangles out of the paper and give it to you. Compare all the triangles given by the students with each other as well with the cardboard model. If they all match, it means the congruency test holds true.

1.4a - Testing SSS (side-side-side) criteria Select any one triangle from your set of cardboard models. Give them the three sides. In the cardboard triangle shown below, you could give the lengths of the three sides: AB, BC and AC. Ask the students to construct as many different types of triangles possible from the given information. Cut them out and give it to you. Compare the cut out triangles with each other and also with your cardboard model. Observe if all the triangles align. If they do, then it proves that SSS is a valid test for congruency.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

1.4b- Testing SAS (side-angle-side) criteria Conduct this activity similar to the previous one. However, choose a different cardboard model of the triangle. For example, in the cardboard triangle shown in the picture below, tell the students the value of sides AB and BC and the angle ∠ABC. Let the students draw as many possible triangles with the given information. Collect the triangles from them and hold them together with your cardboard triangle. If they all align together, then the SAS congruence test is valid.

1.4c- Testing ASA (angle-side-angle) criteria Select a different cardboard model of a triangle and provide the students values of any two angles and the included side. For example, in the figure shown below, you could tell the students values of ∠ACB, ∠ABC and BC. Similar to the previous two activities, let the students draw all possible triangles with the information given. Collect them all and check if they all align when held together. If they do, then the ASA congruence test is valid.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

1.4d- Testing AAS (angle-angle-side) criteria Select a different cardboard model of a triangle and provide the students values of two angles and a nonincluded side. For example, in the figure shown below, give values for ∠ACB, ∠ABC and AC. Collect all the triangles drawn by students and check if they match. If they do, then the AAS test is a valid test for congruency.

1.4e- Testing AAA (angle-angle-angle) criteria For this test, give values of the three angles of the triangle. In the figure shown below, give values for ∠ACB, ∠ABC and ∠CAB. Ask the students to draw all possible triangles. If the students tell it is not possible to draw since the length of sides is not given, ask them to assume any value for the sides. Collect all the triangles and hold them together. The triangles constructed would not match since the students would have assumed different value for the sides. Explain to the students, that AAA is not a valid test for congruency.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

1.4f- Testing SSA (side-side-angle) criteria In this test, provide values of two sides and a non-included angle. For example in the figure shown below, tell values for â&#x2C6; ACB, AB and BC. Let the students draw all possible triangles from the information given. Collect all the triangles drawn by students and check if they match. If they do, then the SSA test is a valid test for congruency. If they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t then explain to the students that more than one type of triangle can be drawn from the given information, hence it cannot be a valid test for congruency.

1.4g: Testing RHS (right angle-hypotenuse-side) criteria This test is only used in case of right angled triangles. In the right angled cardboard model of the triangle, give the values for the hypotenuse and one of the sides. Let the students draw right angled triangles from the given information. Collect all the triangles and check if they match. If they do, RHS is a valid test for congruency.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIVITY: Leading Questions:  Among the six criteria that we explored in this activity, which of them can be used to confirm congruency of two triangles?  What is the test for congruence in case of right angled triangles? Discussion and Explanation:  The following criteria can be used to confirm congruency of triangles: SSS, SAS, ASA and AAS. In case of AAA and SSA, the triangles do not match and hence fail as criteria for congruency.  In case of right angled triangles, the test for congruence is called RHS. The hypotenuse and one of the corresponding sides have to be equal for the triangles to be congruent.

KEY MESSAGES: There are 4 criteria that can be used to test congruent triangles: SSS, SAS, ASA and AAS. The other two criteria: AAA and SSA are not sufficient to confirm if two triangles are congruent. For right angled triangles, the RHS criterion is used to test for congruency.

LEARNING CHECK: 



Congruent triangles are commonly used everywhere in construction (bridges, metallic structures in buildings etc.). Ask students if they have seen such structures anywhere. How can they prove that the structures are congruent? Draw triangles (providing combinations of sides and angles) and ask students which criteria it fits in order to prove their congruence?

Things to Do Divide the class into groups of 2 or 3 based on the number of students and material available. Each group should receive the amount of material as specified in the Material List section. Please note that there has to be 2 types of graph paper; for example, one grid paper can be with 1 line per inch and another with 2 lines per inch. Safety Precautions NA

SESSION: Link to known information/previous activity: NA Procedure: Step 1: Draw a triangle on one graph paper, with a known grid count for height and base. A triangle as shown in the figure can be drawn. Label this triangle ABC. Cut out the triangle from the paper.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

25 Step 2: Now, on the other graph sheet, draw another triangle with the same number of grid count for base and height. Label this triangle PQR. Cut out the triangle PQR.

Step 3: Place the 2 triangles side by side and also over each other. Ask the students to share their observation.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

26 Step 4: The two triangles, ABC and PQR are of the same shape but differ in size. Such triangles are said to be similar to each other. Fill the table below and discuss the results. Triangle ABC PQR

As you can see from the table, the corresponding angles are equal. The ratios of the corresponding sides are equal. This ratio is called the scale factor. This definition (of both similarity and scale factor) is applicable to other polygons and figures and not just to triangles.

UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIVITY: Leading Questions:  What are similar triangles?  With reference to similar triangles and polygons, what is a scale factor? Discussion and Explanation:  Two triangles are similar if they have the same shape, but are different in size.  In similar triangles or polygons, the ratios of corresponding sides are equal. This ratio is called the scale factor.

KEY MESSAGES Two triangles are said to be similar to each other if they are of the same shape, but differ in size. In similar triangles, the corresponding angles are equal and the corresponding sides have same ratio.

LEARNING CHECK:    

Give examples of similar figures you have seen. Do not restrict yourself to triangles and geometrical figures. (For e.g., one can think of statues, toys that come in different sizes) Given 2 triangles ABC and PQR. Length of all the sides of ABC is known, and just the length of one side is known in PQR. How do we find the length of other 2 sides of PQR? Similar triangles and polygons are defined as figures having same shape but different size. Does it mean all squares are similar to each other? Can you use the graph sheets to verify your answer? If you have a ruler of known length (say 30 cm), find your approximate height using your shadow. To do this activity, the sun has to be at an angle; if it is right above your head, it might not cast a proper shadow. Refer the figure below to get a hint.

Material Several models of quadrilaterals (either made of wood or cardboard) Ruler/Protractor 5 boxes, each labeled with a different type of quadrilateral A timer (cell phone or watch can be used) White paper sheets

Number required 1 set per group

1 each per group 1 set per group 1 for the teacher

Things to Do Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4 based on the amount of material available. Please note that there should be several models of quadrilaterals of different types (squares, rectangles, parallelograms, trapeziums and rhombi). This is a simple activity meant to teach students to identify and classify quadrilaterals. Hence, the number of models available per group is a factor in making the activity as interesting as possible. Safety Precautions NA

SESSION: Link to known information/previous activity: NA Procedure: Step 1: Distribute randomly around 7-10 quadrilateral pieces per group. Give each group a blank white sheet of paper. Ask them to name the pieces (as they wish) and write the common attributes among the pieces in their own words. If they are not able to figure out what an attribute is, give an example such as â&#x20AC;&#x153;each piece has 4 sidesâ&#x20AC;?. Also, ask them to list out the differences between the pieces. Step 2: Let each group discuss what they have written. Ask one of the group members from each group to present their discussion. Let the other groups ask questions about it. Step 3: Draw a table on the board showing the classification of quadrilaterals and the difference between each of them. A table similar to the one shown below can be drawn. The students might not be clear about the meaning of some of the terms such as diagonal, bisect etc. Spend time to clarify their doubts. The students have to refer this table, while doing the activity. Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only.

Things to Do Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4 based on strength of class and amount of material available. This is a simple activity to familiarize students about various terminologies related to circles. Safety Precautions NA

SESSION: Link to known information/previous activity: NA Procedure: 3.1a: Ask students about examples of circles they find in their surroundings (food, ornaments etc.). Using the examples, ask them what is it interesting about that shape? How is it different from other shapes such as triangles and quadrilaterals? 3.1b: Step 1: Take the model of a circle. Make the replica of the circle by using tracing or coloured sheet of paper.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

Step 2: Fold the replica into exactly half. Draw a line over the crease formed. Fold the replica again into half but at a different part of the circle. Draw a line over the crease formed. These 2 lines meet at the center of the circle. Explain to students the concept of diameter.

Step 3: Take a piece of thread. Hold one side of the thread on the center of the circle and cut the thread near the edge of the circle so that the length of the circle is equal to the radius of the circle. Move the thread at different positions on the edge of the circle. Explain to them the concept of radius and thus the definition of circle i.e. how it is a collection of points at the same distance from a fixed point called the center of the circle. Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

Step 4: Take another piece of thread and hold it around the edge of the circle model. Cut the thread at the spot they meet so that the length of thread is the circumference. Explain to the students the concept of circumference.

3.1c: Step 1: Fold the replica at a position away from the center. The crease now formed will be a chord to the circle. Draw a line over the chord. Explain about chords. In addition, you can explain the concept of major segment and minor segments.

Step 2: Take a piece of thread and hold it around the edge from one end of the chord to the other end. This forms an arc. Explain to students the concept of arcs. Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

Step 3: Take 2 sticks and place one near the edge of the circle. Place the other stick over the chord drawn in Step 1. Explain the concept of tangent and secants.

UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIVITY: Leading Questions:  What is a circle? What is the radius with respect to circles?  What is circumference?  What is diameter?  What is a chord?  What is an arc?  Explain major and minor segments.  What is a secant?  What is a tangent? Discussion and Explanation:  The collection of all points at a fixed distance from a fixed point (called the center of the circle) is called a circle. The fixed distance is called the radius. Note: The line segment joining the center to any point on the circle can also be called the radius.  The length of the circle is the circumference.  A diameter is a line segment joining 2 points on the circle that passes through the center of the circle. Note: Diameter can also be defined in terms of length i.e. it is twice the radius. (Diameter is the longest chord of the circle). Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

47     

Chord is a line segment joining any 2 points on the circle. A piece of circle between the end points of a chord is an arc. The longer arc is called the major arc and the smaller arc is called the minor arc. The region lying between the major arc and the chord is called the major segment; the region between the minor arc and the chord is called the minor segment. A line segment that intersects a circle at 2 points is called the secant of the circle. Note that chord is a part of secant. A line segment that touches a circle at exactly 1 point is called a tangent of the circle.

ABL 4.1 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: What is area? ADVANCE PREPARATION: Material List 1 2 3

Material Graph paper Pen/Pencil Models of shapes of different sizes (wooden or cardboard)

Number required 1 sheet per group 1 per group A few shapes per class

Things to Do Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4 based on the strength of the class. Each group should receive the amount of material as specified in the Material List section. Safety Precautions NA

SESSION: Link to known information/previous activity: NA Procedure: Step 1: Show models of different sizes and ask the students which one of them is bigger. If you do not have any models, you could ask them to raise their hands and show their palms. Let the students compare each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s palms and find out which one is bigger. Ask them how they figured it out. Now, you can explain the concept of areas. (Area is the amount of space covered inside a closed flat surface such as triangle, square etc.). Step 2: Ask the students how do they measure lines? The reply would be centimeters, feet, inches and so on. Now, ask them how they measure length and breadth of a rectangle, or sides of a square, since they are just line segments. The answer would be similar. Now, explain to them how areas are measure i.e. in terms of square units. It does not matter if it is centimeters or feet, in each case, the area would respectively be in square centimeters and square feet. You can also draw a figure of a unit square to describe the idea. Step 3: Take a graph sheet. Each square would be 1 cm square. Draw a rectangle or square on the sheet by joining the points. Ask the students to count the number of squares inside the drawn figure. This represents the area of the figure in terms of square centimeters.

Step 3: Arrange the 16 pieces (you can stick them on a white paper sheet too) as shown in the figure below. The arranged formation looks like a parallelogram. Step 4: If you cut the circle into more equal pieces (32 or 64), the formation would look more like a rectangle. Ask the students to guess the length and breadth of the rectangle formed if the circle can be cut into more such pieces. As you can see from the figure, the length would be equal to half of the circumference. The height will be equal to the radius. How?

LEARNING OBJECTIVE: What are solid shapes? What are the different examples of solid shapes? ADVANCE PREPARATION: Material List 1

Material Models of different solid shapes (cube, cuboids, cylinders, prisms etc.) Model of 2-D objects (triangle, quadrilateral etc.)

Number required One or more sets per class

One or two per class

Things to Do Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4 based on the strength of the class. This is a series of simple activities where students learn to recognize 3-D shapes and classify them based on certain properties. Safety Precautions NA

SESSION: Link to known information/previous activity: NA Procedure: 5.1a: In this part of the activity, the students learn the difference between 2-D and 3-D shapes. Show the students, the model of a 2-D shape (e.g. a triangle). Now, show the model of a 3-D shape (e.g. a cylinder). Ask the students the difference between the two. Let the students themselves use common terms (everyday language) to describe the difference. It is important they use their own words (such as right/left, curved/pointed, sharp/flat etc.) in doing this. Later, you can use the terms they used to teach them the concept of 2-D and 3-D shapes. In case of 2-D shapes, the shapes are measured using just 2 parameters: length and breadth. Hence, they are called 2-D, whereas in case of 3-D, the shapes are measured using 3 parameters: length, breadth and height. So, they are called 3-D shapes. They are also commonly known as solid shapes.

5.1b: The aim of this part of the activity is to teach the students the difference between polyhedrons and non-polyhedrons. Show the students models of different solid shapes. Now, take any 2 models (e.g. a pyramid and a sphere). Ask them the difference between the two. The students can use their own terms to tell the difference. Similarly, ask them to describe the difference between many such combinations of solids (e.g. a cube and a cylinder, a cuboid and a cone, a sphere and a pyramid etc.). In this way, the students learn to classify solids depending on certain properties. Now, based on the terms used by students, you can teach about polyhedrons and non-polyhedrons. A polyhedron is made of flat surfaces. The surfaces are called faces; the line segments where 2 faces meet is called an edge; the point where edges meet is called a vertex. On the other hand, a non-polyhedron is any solid which has a curved surface.

5.1c: Here, the students learn to classify the solids into more categories. Ask the students to recognize faces, vertices and edges of 2 or more solids. Ask the students, if they can now differentiate the solids depending on faces, vertices and edges. Based on their responses, you can now start classifying the shapes further. If we take polyhedrons, a prism is a polyhedron with the base and top being congruent polygons. The faces joining the base and top are parallelograms. Cubes and cuboids are special cases of prisms. A pyramid is a polyhedron with a polygon base and triangular faces that meet at a vertex. If we consider nonpolyhedrons, we can classify them into cylinders and cones. Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

89 5.1d: In this part, the students play a game – “Guess the Solid”, to test their strength of identifying and classifying solid shapes. Step 1: You can either ask the students to volunteer or choose a student to come forward. The students can take turns to come forward and play this part. The rest of the students form groups or can also play individually. Step 2: The student who comes forward will stand in front of the class and the teacher will tell him secretly the name of a solid shape. The teacher can either give a piece of paper or show him the solid secretly. Step 3: The rest of the students will take turns to ask questions to the one holding the secret. The questions can be of the following kind:  Does it have a curved surface?  How many faces does it have?  Are there any triangular faces on the shape? In this way, the students narrow down options and guess the solid shape. The teacher can impose additional rules to maintain order in the classroom.

UNDERSTANDING THE ACTIVITY: Leading Questions:  What are solids? Give examples.  What are polyhedrons and non-polyhedrons?  What are prisms?  What are pyramids?  What are cylinders?  What are cones? Discussion and Explanation:  Solids are 3-D shapes i.e. they are measured using 3 parameters: length, breadth and height. Examples of solids are cubes, cuboids, cylinders etc.  Polyhedrons are solids that have flat surfaces called faces, line segments called edges and sharp corners called vertices. Non-polyhedrons are solids that have a curved surface.  Prisms are solids that have a base and top which are congruent polygon and lateral surfaces between the top and base that are parallelograms.  A pyramid is a solid that has a polygon base and triangular lateral surfaces that meet at a vertex.  Cylinders are solids with 2 parallel and circular bases connected by a curved surface.  A cone is a solid with a circular base and a single vertex.

KEY MESSAGES In this activity, we learn about the difference between 2-D and 3-D shapes. We learn to classify different solid shapes based on certain properties. We learn examples of solids under each classification.

LEARNING CHECK: 

Give examples of real life objects that resemble solid shapes. For example, a matchbox is a cuboid, a dice is a cube. Give examples of solids that are combinations of solid shapes. For example, a bottle

might be a combination of a cylinder and a cone. To keep it simple, you could give examples of real world objects (e.g. the school building) and ask the students to recognize all the solid shapes. Play the odd-one-out game. Make groups of 3-D shapes and ask students to choose the odd-one-out. The students should also give reasons for their selection. For example, make a group of cube, cuboid, sphere and a triangular prism. The sphere is the odd one out since it has a curved surface (is a nonpolyhedron).

Step 2: Deconstruct the cube. It will be made up of 6 similar squares, the length of its side equal to a. Can you guess the surface area of the cube?

Surface area of the cube = 6 times the Area of the square. = 6 x Area of the Square who sides equal a. = 6 x a2 5.3b Step 1: Similar to 5.3a, construct a cuboid using its net. Measure the length, breadth and height of the cuboid. Letâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s label them as l, b and h respectively.

104

Step 2: Deconstruct the cuboid. The surface areas of the cuboid can be measured by calculating the areas of the six rectangles shown in the figure below. Can you derive the formula?

Surface area of the cuboid = Sum of areas of the 6 rectangles = (l x h) + (l x b) + (l x h) + (l x b) + (b x h) + (b x h) = 2 x (lh + bh + lb) 5.3c In this part, we measure the surface areas of a right circular cylinder. Explain to the students the concept of curved surface area and total surface area. Step 1: Construct a right circular cylinder using its net. You can either use a pre-printed net or create yourself by paper cutting. If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re creating your own, construct a rectangle of length 22cms and breadth 10cms. This way, you can create the base and top circles of radius 3.5cms. The radius and height of the cylinder is shown in the figure below. Let the radius be r and height h.

105

Step 2: Deconstruct the cylinder. The whole cylinder can be broken down into 1 rectangle and 2 circles. The length of the rectangle is equal to the circumference of the circles and breadth is equal to the height of the cylinder. The curved surface area of the cylinder is the area of the rectangle whereas the total surface area is the sum of the areas of the rectangle and the two circles. Ask the students to derive the formulas.

Curved surface area of the cylinder = Area of the rectangle = Length x Breadth = Circumference of the circle x Height of cylinder =2xπxrxh = 2πrh Total surface area of the cylinder = 2 x Area of the circle + Area of rectangle = 2 x πr2 + 2πrh = 2πr(r + h) 5.3d Step 1: In this part of the activity, we calculate the surface areas of a right circular cone. Construct a cone using its net. Instead of using the net, you can also use a given slant height (l) and base radius (r) to construct the cone. To do this, draw a circle with slant height as the base radius. Then calculate the circumference of the base of the cone (2πr) and mark an arc equal to the circumference using thread. Cut the arc out and construct the cone using adhesive tape. To add the base, draw the base circle on the paper and cut it out and stick it to the base of the cone. In the figures below, you can see the slant height and the base radius marked along with its arc/circle.

107

Step 2: Deconstruct the cone. The curved surface area of the cone is equal to the area of the segment. Fold the segment into half, twice, to get 4 equal parts. Rearrange the 4 pieces to form a parallelogram.

108

Step 3: As shown in the above figure, the base of the parallelogram is equal to half the circumference of the base circle. If you divide the segment into more equal pieces (even number), the height of the parallelogram will be equal to the slant height of the cone. Can you figure out the formula for the curved surface area of the cone? Curved surface area of the cone = Area of the segment = Area of the parallelogram formed = Base x Height = Half circumference of base circle x Slant height = ½ x 2πr x l = πrl Step 4: To calculate total surface area, you have to include the area of the base circle. Total surface area of cone = Curved surface area + Area of the base circle = πrl + πr2 = πr(l + r)

5.3e In this activity, we calculate the surface area of a sphere. To do this activity, we need a model of a sphere (wooden or any model). Use a ruler to calculate the diameter of the sphere (and then its radius from the diameter). Let the radius of the sphere be r. Step 1: Take a sheet of coloured paper and fold it around the sphere. Now, from this paper we need to construct a right circular cylinder so that it fits around the sphere perfectly. Mark points on the paper such that the height of the cylinder is equal to diameter of the sphere. The radius of the base/top of the cylinder is equal to the radius of the sphere. Construct the cylinder.

109

Step 2: Now, we have a sphere of radius r, and a cylinder that covers the sphere. The radius of the base/top of the cylinder is equal to the radius of the sphere. The height of the cylinder is equal to the diameter of the sphere (= 2r). If you cut the cylinder horizontally into thin pieces, with sufficient enough pieces, the cylinder will cover the sphere fully. Hence, the surface area of the sphere is equal to the curved surface area of the cylinder. This can either be explained or you could ask the students to deconstruct the cylinder, cut into thin pieces and try it. Step 3: When you deconstruct the cylinder, you get a rectangle. Measure the length and breadth of the rectangle. The breadth of the rectangle will be equal to twice the radius of the sphere as mentioned in Step 2. The length of the rectangle will be equal to the circumference of a circle of radius r. Can you figure out the formula for the surface area of a sphere? Surface area of the sphere = Curved surface area of the cylinder = Area of the rectangle = Length x Breadth = 2Ď&#x20AC;r x 2r = 4Ď&#x20AC;r2

KEY MESSAGES In this activity, we learn about formulas to calculate the surface areas of different 3D figures. We demonstrate the formulas by doing experiments.

LEARNING CHECK: ď&#x201A;§

ď&#x201A;§

Give problems on calculating surface areas of various shapes. The students have to use the formulas learnt to calculate the areas. Example problems are given below. ď&#x192;&#x2DC; A box is of length 80cms, breadth 60cms and height 15cms. Calculate the surface area of the box. ď&#x192;&#x2DC; Find the surface area of a cone whose slant height is 10cms and base radius is 7cms. ď&#x192;&#x2DC; Find the surface area of a sphere of radius 14cms. Can you figure out the curved surface area and total surface of a hemisphere? You already know the surface area of the sphere is given by 4Ď&#x20AC;r2. The curved surface area of a hemisphere will be half of that of a sphere. To calculate the total surface area, you need to add the area of the base circle.

ABL 5.4 LEARNING OBJECTIVE: How do we calculate volumes of 3D figures? ADVANCE PREPARATION: Material List 1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Material Models of 3D figures (hollow cones, cylinders, spheres) Jodo cubes (or unit cubes) A box of sand (or some grain like rice) Graph sheet Coloured paper sheet A pair of scissors Pencils/pens/Rulers

Number required 1 per group 1 set per group 1 box per group 1 per class (just for demonstration) 1 per group 1 per group 1 set per group

Things to Do Divide the class into groups of 3 or 4. Each group should receive the amount of material as specified in the Material list section. However, in this activity, there might not be sufficient models of cones, cylinders and spheres. Hence, the teacher could demo the experiment initially, and each group could take turns to conduct the experiment. In case of Jodo cubes, each group can be given sufficient amount of cubes to do the activity. Safety Precautions NA

SESSION: Link to known information/previous activity: In the previous activity, we learnt about surface areas of 3D figures. Procedure: Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

112 Similar to areas, the students should be made to understand the concept of volumes. The teacher can reintroduce the concept of areas where we measure the space covered by a flat surface (2D surface). Similarly, the space occupied by a 3D figure is called the volume. You can take a hollow model to demonstrate it. To measure areas, we use square units, whereas in case of volumes, we use cubic units. This can be demonstrated by drawing a closed figure on a graph sheet, and counting the number of square units inside it. Each square in a graph sheet is a square unit. Now, use several Jodo cubes (unit cubes) to construct a cube (using 3x3x3 = 27 Jodo cubes). Ask the students to count the number of Jodo cubes used. The answer, 27 cubic units, is the volume of the constructed cubic structure. Each Jodo cube is equal to 1 cubic unit.

5.4a In this part of the activity, we learn about formulas to calculate the value of cube and cuboid. Step 1: Ask the students to construct a cube using Jodo cubes. Similar to your demonstration earlier, the students can use 27 cubes.

Step 2: The students measure the length, breadth and height of the cube, counting the number of cubes along each direction. Step 3: The volume of the cube is got by multiplying the three: length, breadth and height. Since, in a cube all three are equal; the volume is given by the following formula: Volume of a cube = a3, where a is the side of the cube. Step 4: Similar to the cube, ask the students to construct a cuboid. Step 5: Ask them to measure the length, breadth and height of the cube. Count the number of Jodo cubes used. Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

113 Step 6: Ask the students to share their observation. The volume is equal to the product of length, breadth and height. Thus, Volume of a cuboid = lbh l is length, b is breadth and h is height of the cuboid

At this stage, you can explain to the students that the volume of both the figures above can be seen as a product of area of the base and height. How? If you notice both the figures, the cube can be seen as a bunch of squares stacked on top of each other (or rectangles in case of cuboid). Hence, the first two variables in the formula (i.e. a 2 in case of cube and lb in case of cuboid) give the area of the base. So, the volume of the both the figures can be generalized as: Volume = Area of Base x Height

5.4b In this part, we figure out the volume of a right circular cylinder. Step 1: Construct a cylinder using coloured sheets. The previous activities will give you instructions on how to do this. However, you do not have to make the top and base. Let the radius of the base circle be r and the height of the cylinder h.

Agastya International Foundation. For Internal Circulation only. Request to Readers- Kindly mail details of any discrepancies to handbooks.agastya@gmail.com

114

Step 2: Take the Jodo cubes and start placing it inside the cylinder as shown in the figure. In this way, if you figure out how many Jodo cubes fill the cylinder, it is possible to calculate the volume. But, the cubes do not fill the whole cylinder completely.

Step 3: However, similar to cubes and cuboids, you can see the cylinder as a bunch of circles stacked on top of each other. As you noticed in the previous experiment, the volume can be considered as the product of area of base and height. So, can you figure out the formula for the volume of the cylinder? Volume of Cylinder = Area of base circle x Height = Ď&#x20AC;r2 h r is the radius of the base/top and h is the height of the cylinder. 5.4c In this part, we demonstrate the formula to calculate the volume of a right circular cone. To do this activity, each group should receive a set of hollow models of a right circular cone and a right circular cylinder. The height and radius of the base circle of the cylinder and cone should be equal. Let the radius of the cone be r and the height be h. If there are not enough hollow models, the students can take turns in doing the task.

115

Step 1: Fill the cone completely with sand (or grains). Pour the contents of the cone into the cylinder. Repeat this process until the cylinder is full.

Step 2: How many times did you do this process? The process was done 3 times. If the volume of the cylinder is given by Ď&#x20AC;r2 h, can you figure out the formula for volume of the cone? 3 x Volume of the cone = Volume of the cylinder 1 Volume of the cone = 3 x Volume of the cylinder 1 = 3 đ?&#x153;&#x2039;r2h r is the radius of the base of the cone and h is the height of the cone.

5.4d In this part, we demonstrate the formula to calculate the volume of a sphere. To do this activity, we need hollow models of a sphere and a right circular cylinder. The radius of the sphere should be equal to the radius of the base/top of the cylinder; the diameter of the sphere should be equal to the height of the cylinder. Ideally, there has to be 2 models of cylinder and 1 model of the sphere per each student group. If there are not enough models, the students can take turns to do the task.

116 Step 1: Fill the hollow sphere completely with sand and empty it in the cylinders. Continue this process until both the cylinders are full.

Step 2: How many times did you do the process to completely fill the 2 cylinders? The process is done thrice. Can you figure out the formula for the volume of the sphere if the radius of the sphere is r? 3 x Volume of the sphere = 2 x Volume of the cylinder 2 Volume of the sphere = 3x đ?&#x153;&#x2039;r2h (h is height of the cylinder) 2 = 3 x đ?&#x153;&#x2039;r2h x 2r 4 = 3 đ?&#x153;&#x2039;r3 r is the radius of the sphere.
