Learning objectives

 * 1) units and measurement
 * 2) Mensuration is the branch of Mathematics dealing with measurement of angles, length, area, and volume.
 * 3) There are standard and non-standard ways of measurements.
 * 4) Importance of having standardised measurements.
 * 5) The length of the total boundary of a figure is called its perimeter. The Metric unit of perimeter is same as the unit of length - Metre.
 * 6) The amount of surface covered by an object is called it area. The Metric unit of area is square metre.
 * 7) The capacity of an object to hold is called its volume.

Notes for teachers
Source: http://depts.washington.edu/chemcrs/bulkdisk/chem120A_sum06/handout_CH%201-4%20TIMBER.pdf Summary : Measurement are an important part of our everyday life. Think about your day; you probably made some measurements. Perhaps you checked your weight by stepping on a scale,measuring shoes to fit your feet in the shoe store, or saw measuring up houses when they are doing renovations etc. If you did not feel well, you may have taken your temperature. To make some soup, you added 2 cups of water to a package mix. If you stopped at the Petrol bunk, you watched the petrol pump measure the number of litres of petrol you put in the car.

Learning objectives

 * 1)  The traditional ways of measurements are a type of measure which uses non-standard units such as hand spans, armlengths, footsteps or pattern blocks to measure length, area, etc.
 * 2) Non-standard measurements are not always the same but vary from person to person.

Notes for teachers

 * 1) The teacher can ask the students to gather information regarding earlier traditional measuring ways from their elders and have an initial discussion in the classroom.

Learning objectives

 * 1) The ability to obtain accurate measurements and communicate those measurements is a key requirement for progress.
 * 2) Standardised measuring units ensure uniformity in meaurements.
 * 3) The standard unit for length is metre, for weight id kilogram, for time is second, for temperature is Kelvin and for amount of substance it is mole.

Notes for teachers
A unit of measurement is a definite magnitude of a physical quantity, defined and adopted by convention or by law, that is used as a standard for measurement of the same physical quantity. Any other value of the physical quantity can be expressed as a simple multiple of the unit of measurement. For example, length is a physical quantity. The metre is a unit of length that represents a definite predetermined length. When we say 10 metres (or 10 m), we actually mean 10 times the definite predetermined length called "metre".<br. The definition, agreement, and practical use of units of measurement have played a crucial role in human endeavour from early ages up to this day. Different systems of units used to be very common. Now there is a global standard, the International System of Units (SI), the modern form of the metric system. ===Activity No # 1. Hunting treasure and measuring===

Learning objectives

 * 1) The process of representing actual distances on paper using proportional distances is called a scale.
 * 2) A Scale drawing is a drawing that shows a real object with accurate sizes except they have all been reduced or enlarged by a certain amount (called the scale).
 * 3) Since it is not always possible to draw on paper the actual size of real-life objects such as the real size of a car, an airplane, we need scale drawings to represent the size.
 * 4) Drawing to scale is a tool that Engineers use for many different tasks. One key part of every scale drawing is the scaling factor. This number represents the degree to which our scale drawing or scale model has been reduced in size when compared to the original.

solution: d=14cm   r=7cm, h=51cm Volume of cone= =$$\frac{1}{3}{Л}{r^2}h$$

=$$\frac{1}{3}{X}{\frac{22}{7}}{X}{7^2}{X}51$$ =$$2618{cm^3}$$ To calculate weight of the solid cone we have to use density of the given material. density=$$10gm/{cm^3}$$ =$${\frac{10Kg}{1000cm^3}}$$ Weight of solid cone=volumeXdensity =$$2618{cm^3}{X}{\frac{10Kg}{1000cm^3}}$$ =26.18Kg

problem on combination of solids example 01
Problem-03 of the conical portion is 4 times the radius of its base, find the radius of the cream cones. Solution of the conical portion is 4 times the radius of its base. .
 * 1) A Cylindrical container of radius 6cm and height 15cm is filled with ice cream. The whole ice cream has to be distributed to 10 children in equal cones with hemispherical tops. If the height
 * 1) Statement of the problem
 * 2) A Cylindrical container of radius 6cm and height 15cm is filled with ice cream. The whole ice cream has to be filled in 10 equal cones with hemispherical tops. and the height

Assumptions
 * 1) Student should know volume of cone,and volume of Hemisphere
 * 2) Student should know the value of л=22/7
 * 3) Student should know the difference between radius and height
 * 4) Student should know the proper substitution simplification

Concepts to be taught
 * 1) Let us consider the volume of a cone having hemispherical top =2л
 * 2) Volume of Cylindrical container is equated to volume of cone having hemispherical top

Gaps
 * 1) Comparision between the volumes of cylinder and (cone+Hemisphere)

Skills
 * 1) To imagine a cone, Hemisphere,and cylinder
 * 2) To imagine a cone having Hemispherical top

Algorthem Part 1: To derive the volume of a cone with hemispherical top =$${\frac{1}{3}}л4r +{\frac{2}{3}}л{r^3}$$(on simplification) =$$2л{r^3}$$
 * 1) volume of a cone with hemispherical top =$${\frac{1}{3}}л{r^2}h+{\frac{2}{3}}л{r^3}$$

Part 2 : To calculate the volume of 10 cone with hemispherical top =$$10X2л{r^3}$$ =$$20л{r^3}$$ To calculate the volume of ice-cream in cylindrical container =$$л{r^2}h$$ = л X6X6X15 =540лc

Part 3 : To apply condition given in the problem volume of 10 cone with hemispherical top= volume of cylindrical container $$20л{r^3}$$ =540л $${r^3}$$=$${\frac{540л}{20л}}$$ =27 				r=3cm Hence the radius of cream cones=3cm

= Project Ideas = Projects Given for the Different Groups Students Will be divided into different groups and each group is named as cylinder,cone,pyramid etc Group-01(cylinder)  Students of this group will be asked to make different cylinders say Hallow cylinder,Solid cylinder,cylinder with a base without top etc using cardboard. Now Students should have to write the following NOTE: The Students of other groups will be asked to follow the same method mentioned above
 * 1) Different properties of Cylinder
 * 2) Different formulae (LSA,TSA,VOLUME of Cylinder)
 * 3) Procedure:
 * Materials used in making cylinder
 * Different cuttings that they made
 * Measurements of those cuttings
