SCHEME OF EVALUATION

The following weightage are assigned for evaluation at Secondary Stage in mathematics: Theory Examination                              :           80 marks

Internal Assessment                             :           20 marks

l. Internal assessment of 20 marks, based on school based examination will have following break-up:

Year-end assessment of activities          :           12 marks Assessment of Project Work                 :           5 marks

Viva-voce                                             :           3 marks

•        Assessment of Activity Work

(a)     Every student will be asked to perform two given activities during the allotted time.

(b)     The assessment may be carried out by a team of two mathematics teachers, including the teacher who is taking practical classes.

(c)     The break-up of 12 marks for assessment for a single activity may be as under:

•     Statement of objective of the activity :          1 mark

•     Material required                               :           1 mark

•     Preparation for the activity                :           3 marks

•     Conduct of the activity                      :           3 marks

•     Observation and analysis                   :           3 marks

•     Results and Conclusion                     :           1 mark

Total              :           12 marks

(d)     The marks for two activities may be added first and then marks calculated out of 12.

(e)     Full record of activities may be kept by each student.

•       Evaluation of Project Work

(a)     Every student will be asked to do at least one project based on the concepts learnt in the classroom.

(b)     The project may be carried out individually (or in a group of two or three students).

(c)     The weightage of 5 marks for the project may be as under :

•     Identification and statement of the project     :           1 mark

•     Planning the project                                      :           1 mark

•     Procedure adopted                                        :           1 mark

•     Observations from data collected                   :           1 mark

•     Interpretation and application of result           :           1 mark

Total Score out of 20 : The marks obtained in year-end assessment of activities and project work be added to the marks in viva-voce to get the total score out of 20.

Note : Every student should be asked to perform at least twenty activities in one academic year.
