Preface<br />
The Curriculum initiated by Central Board of Secondary Education –International (CBSE-i) is a progressive step in making the<br />
educational content and methodology more sensitive and responsive to the global needs. It signifi es the emergence of a fresh thought<br />
process in imparting a curriculum which would restore the independence of the learner to pursue the learning process in harmony with<br />
the existing personal, social and cultural ethos.<br />
The Central Board of Secondary Education has been providing support to the academic needs of the learners worldwide. It has about<br />
11500 schools affi liated to it and over 158 schools situated in more than 23 countries. The Board has always been conscious of the<br />
varying needs of the learners in countries abroad and has been working towards contextualizing certain elements of the learning<br />
process to the physical, geographical, social and cultural environment in which they are engaged. The International Curriculum being<br />
designed by CBSE-i, has been visualized and developed with these requirements in view.<br />
The nucleus of the entire process of constructing the curricular structure is the learner. The objective of the curriculum is to nurture the<br />
independence of the learner, given the fact that every learner is unique. The learner has to understand, appreciate, protect and build<br />
on values, beliefs and traditional wisdom, make the necessary modifi cations, improvisations and additions wherever and whenever<br />
necessary.<br />
The recent scientifi c and technological advances have thrown open the gateways of knowledge at an astonishing pace. The speed<br />
and methods of assimilating knowledge have put forth many challenges to the educators, forcing them to rethink their approaches<br />
for knowledge processing by their learners. In this context, it has become imperative for them to incorporate those skills which will<br />
enable the young learners to become ‘life long learners’. The ability to stay current, to upgrade skills with emerging technologies, to<br />
understand the nuances involved in change management and the relevant life skills have to be a part of the learning domains of the<br />
global learners. The CBSE-i curriculum has taken cognizance of these requirements.<br />
The CBSE-i aims to carry forward the basic strength of the <strong>Indian</strong> system of education while promoting critical and creative thinking<br />
skills, effective communication skills, interpersonal and collaborative skills along with information and media skills. There is an inbuilt<br />
fl exibility in the curriculum, as it provides a foundation and an extension curriculum, in all subject areas to cater to the different pace<br />
of learners.<br />
The CBSE has introduced the CBSE-i curriculum in schools affi liated to CBSE at the international level in 2010 and is now introducing<br />
it to other affi liated schools who meet the requirements for introducing this curriculum. The focus of CBSE-i is to ensure that the learner<br />
is stress-free and committed to active learning. The learner would be evaluated on a continuous and comprehensive basis consequent<br />
to the mutual interactions between the teacher and the learner. There are some non-evaluative components in the curriculum which<br />
would be commented upon by the teachers and the school. The objective of this part or the core of the curriculum is to scaffold the<br />
learning experiences and to relate tacit knowledge with formal knowledge. This would involve trans-disciplinary linkages that would<br />
form the core of the learning process. Perspectives, SEWA (Social Empowerment through Work and Action), Life Skills and Research<br />
would be the constituents of this ‘Core’. The Core skills are the most signifi cant aspects of a learner’s holistic growth and learning<br />
curve.<br />
The International Curriculum has been designed keeping in view the foundations of the National Curriculum Framework (NCF 2005)<br />
and the experience gathered by the Board over the last seven decades in imparting effective learning to millions of learners, many of<br />
whom are now global citizens.<br />
The Board does not interpret this development as an alternative to other curricula existing at the international level, but as an exercise<br />
in providing the much needed <strong>Indian</strong> leadership for global education at the school level. The International Curriculum would evolve<br />
on its own, building on learning experiences inside the classroom over a period of time. The Board while addressing the issues of<br />
empowerment with the help of the schools’ administering this system strongly recommends that practicing teachers become skillful<br />
learners on their own and also transfer their learning experiences to their peers through the interactive platforms provided by the<br />
Board.<br />
I profusely thank Shri G. Balasubramanian, former Director (Academics), CBSE, Ms. Abha Adams and her team and Dr. Sadhana<br />
Parashar, Head (Innovations and Research) CBSE along with other Education Offi cers involved in the development and implementation<br />

leer as the first leer of the name of the student - sober Shrey; friendly Farhan; playful<br />
Paul; energec Ena, etc.<br />
Further explain the concept by saying that a tle has been given to all the students by<br />
using the word that best describes each one of them. Ask the students to look around and<br />
remember words to describe each of the things they see. Give them a few minutes and<br />
invite the students to share their thoughts. The expected responses can be:-<br />
red bag; naughty boy; beauful board; tasty food; big cupboard; round table.<br />
If the students come up with similar responses, take the topic a lile further by explaining<br />
that all colours; shapes and sizes; all words that express about how things taste<br />
(i.e. sweet, salty, and sour) and the characteriscs of a person are describing words.<br />
22
Show the book ‘Go Away Big, Green Monster’ by Ed Emberley to the class. Ask the students<br />
which words in the tle are describing words (big, greener). Read the story twice; first,<br />
the students listen to the story and then try to again idenfy the describing words.<br />
Write on the board or on a large chart paper categorizing the describing words such as<br />
the colour, shape, size, etc.<br />
Give examples or show illustraons, e.g.: My monster is pink and hairy. Give examples<br />
unl everyone understands and the concept is clear to them. Ask the students to create<br />
their own illustraon and write 3-4 sentences using describing words. Let them do their<br />
work individually.<br />

place one hand in the bag and feel the objects. Allow them to touch the objects, shake<br />
the bag, etc. but not look at the contents. Let the students write as many adjecves as<br />
they can to describe the unknown objects. Aer they have wrien adjecves for the<br />
objects, they share it with the class. The students try to name the objects. Display the<br />
objects in the bag on a table. Discuss the fact that adjecves can help us figure out what<br />
the objects are according to their appearance, texture, etc.<br />
Review<br />
Students will be provided with worksheets based on describing words.<br />
Assessment<br />
Students will be assessed on their performance of day-to-day acvies, their promptness<br />

acvies.<br />
Acvity -1<br />
Dress up in a Santa Claus cap (and some other accessories as available) and enter the class<br />
with a sack of gis and candies, ringing the bell and singing the jingle- Jingle Bells... .<br />
The number of gis in the sack = No. of children x 2<br />
The number of candies = No. of children x 4.<br />
Take out the candies from the sack and ask the students to keep on counng the candies –<br />
one, two, three... and so on. Once the students have counted the total number of candies,<br />
give one candy to each student ll all candies have been distributed.<br />

How many students are there in the class<br />
How many candies did each student get<br />
35
Has everyone got an equal number of candies<br />
The teacher emphasizes on equal distribuon.<br />
Now take out the gis from the sack and once again the students keep on counng the<br />
gis – one, two, three... and so on. Once they have counted the total number of gis they,<br />
give a gi to each student ll all the gis have been distributed.<br />
Ask -<br />
How many gis are there in total<br />
How many gis has each one got <br />
Has everyone got an equal number of gis <br />
Give worksheets to the students and help them do it.<br />
Acvity - 2<br />
Prepare the following slips. (The number of the slips need to be modified according to the<br />
number of students in the class.)<br />
Ask the students to pick up one slip. Now call out names of the object or thing and the<br />
students holding that parcular slip/card stand up. For example: the slip on the sun and<br />
snow. Tell them to stand in two different corners of the classroom. Announce them as the<br />
group leaders. The Sun - which indicates the Summer Season and Snow – which indicates<br />
the Winter Season. The other students are asked to observe the picture on their slip and<br />
then join their respecve leaders. Once the students have joined their groups ask them to<br />
match the colour of their slips with those of the others in the groups. Further clarify and<br />
jusfy the reason for the same.<br />
Sun (yellow)<br />
Snow (white) coke (yellow)<br />
Ice cream (white) Fire (yellow) Soup (white)<br />
Hand over balloons to the group leaders. Distribute the number of balloons in such a way<br />
that the group leader of ‘Sun’ gets the No. of balloons equal to the No. of students in the<br />
group x 4 ; and the group leader ‘Snow’ gets the No. of balloons which equal to the No.<br />
of students in the group x 5 .<br />
Ask the groups to count the total number of balloons they have got. Instruct the group<br />
leaders to keep on giving a balloon to each student ll all the balloons have been<br />

• How many members are there in your group
• How many balloons did each member get <br />
• Has every member got an equal number of balloons <br />
Now ask the enre class the same quesons.<br />
Has every one got an equal number of balloons Obviously the students would answer<br />
“NO”.<br />
The teacher further asks – Why<br />
The Sun group says – All of us have 4 balloons each.<br />
The Snow group says – All of us have 5 balloons each.<br />
Further inquire how can the whole class have an equal number of balloons. The students<br />
give their suggesons. The teacher sums up by telling them that if the members of the<br />
Snow group returns one balloon then everybody in the class will have an equal number<br />
of balloons, i.e. 4.<br />
Elaborate and explain the concept of division as equal distribuon.<br />
Extend the acvity by using different things and objects to emphasise upon the word<br />
‘equal’.<br />

Lesson Plan-b<br />
Duraon – 3 Hours<br />
Learning Objectives<br />
As a result of this lesson, the students will be able to :<br />
• Read and write numbers ll hundred and beyond.<br />
• Relate the place with the place value of a parcular digit of a numeral.<br />
Material Required<br />
Flashcards of numbers, abacus and blocks.<br />
Teacher Activity<br />
Since the students have previous knowledge of 3 digit numbers, the teacher will ask<br />
certain quesons to reach the ‘Topic’.<br />
Teacher: How many seasons do we experience<br />
Students (randomly): 2, 3, 4 ….<br />
Teacher: Let’s name them.<br />
Students (randomly): Summer, spring, fall, winter.<br />
Teacher: Right, so we have four seasons. Do you think they follow an order<br />
Students: Yes, we think so.<br />
Teacher: If we start with the month of January, the order will be {Writes on the board)<br />
Winter Spring Summer Fall<br />
Similarly, numbers also appear in an order.<br />
For example: 2 will always come aer 1 and before 3.<br />
Relate it with counng, start from 192 to 200 and the sequence to be followed aer 200<br />
such as:<br />
40
200, 201, 202, 203, 204 …<br />
249, 250, 251, 252, 253…<br />
Make use of the place value blocks on the base of hundreds, tens and ones to explain the<br />
counng of numbers aer 200.<br />
Teacher: How many group of ten objects each are<br />
there<br />
Students: None.<br />
Teacher: How many objects are alone<br />
Students: One.<br />
Teacher: How many objects are in a group of<br />
hundred<br />
Answer: There are 100 objects each in the group for<br />
hundred.<br />
Teacher: Which number is it<br />
Students: 201<br />
As shown in the diagram on the le, a group consists<br />
of 100 single objects together makes it one hundred.<br />
Two groups having a 100 objects in each make 200<br />
objects altogether.<br />
Thus, 200 objects + one single object = 200+1=201<br />
(Also refer to the lesson plan on numbers in <strong>Unit</strong> 2, <strong>Unit</strong> 5 and <strong>Unit</strong> 8).<br />
To enhance the sequencing of numbers, prepare paper slips from numbers 252 to 300<br />
(depending upon the number of students in the class). Put all the slips in a bowl. Now ask<br />
41
the students to pick up the slips so that each student<br />
gets a slip with a number wrien on it. Call out the<br />
first number 252 and then the student with the next<br />
number will stand up and read out his/her number. This<br />
will connue ll all the numbers are called out and each<br />
student has said his/her number.<br />
Based on the previous knowledge of the students,<br />
write a few number names and the numerals on the<br />
board.(number names up to 200) Then ask the students<br />
to come individually and replace the number 1 at the<br />
hundreds place with 2. The students are asked to replace<br />
the number names also. Aer this acvity, write a few numerals with incorrect number<br />
names on the board and ask the students to correct them to test their understanding.<br />
146 One hundred forty six 257 One hundred fiy seven<br />
289 Two hundred eighty nine<br />
146 One hundred forty six<br />
230 Two hundred thirty<br />
Further relate it to place and the place value of numbers.<br />
Teacher :<br />
Student :<br />
Teacher :<br />
Student :<br />
If in the number 146, 1 is replaced with 2, what is the place and place value<br />
of 2<br />
2 is at the hundreds place and its place value is 200 (2 hundreds)<br />
In the number 230, what is at the hundreds, tens and ones place<br />
2 is at the hundreds place, 3 is at the tens place and 0 is at the ones place.<br />
Teacher : What is the difference between 230 and 213 (According to the places of<br />
numbers).<br />
Student :<br />
In the number 213, 2 is at the hundreds place, 1 is at the tens place and 3 is<br />
at the ones place.<br />
Complete by expanding the number 230 also + then funconing the difference make the<br />
statement complete.<br />
Number Expander<br />
42<br />
A number expander is a simple aid made of paper which can show various ways of<br />
renaming a number.
Show the students how to fold the expander: the shaded rectangles are folded in half<br />
with a ‘valley fold’ and then a ‘mountain fold’ is used to put the shaded rectangle behind<br />
the white rectangle on its le.<br />
Students enjoy the challenge of folding the paper correctly - somewhat like a fan. Help<br />
them to fold (shaded rectangles are folded in half with a ‘valley fold’ and then a ‘mountain<br />
fold’ is used to put the shaded rectangle behind the white rectangle on its le). For<br />
example, in the photo below, the ‘ones’ rectangle is folded in half (with a valley fold) and<br />
then behind the digit 3 which is on its le.<br />
Below are some pictures of a number expander with 3 place value columns, showing<br />
various ways of ‘expanding’ (or renaming) 236.<br />
Here is a fully open blank number<br />
expander with 3 blank place value<br />
columns .<br />
The number 236 has been wrien in the<br />
blank place value columns. This shows<br />
236 = 2 hundreds + 3 tens + 6 ones<br />
This shows 236 = 2 hundreds + 36 ones<br />
This shows 236 = 23 tens + 6 ones<br />
This shows 236 = 236 ones<br />
This is a ‘closed’ number expander showing 236.<br />
43
Ask the students to write their own three-digit whole number into the 3 blank<br />
rectangles.<br />
Ask them to fold and unfold at various places to make as many different expansions as<br />
they can.<br />
Revise the complete counng of numbers from 1 to 300 .<br />
Student Activity<br />
Form the given number with the help of place value blocks.<br />
Read and write counng the numerals ll 300.<br />
Divide the class into 3 or 4 groups (depending upon the class size) with 10 students in<br />
each group. Then ask the students to stand according to their height (shorter ones in front<br />
and taller ones at the back). Facilitate if two students are of the same height.<br />
The students in the group will be asked to regroup themselves in the correct order of<br />
numbers (forward counng).<br />
The same acvity can be performed for backward counng.<br />
Randomly distribute flash cards to the students:<br />
265 273 270 266 272 268 274 269 271 267<br />
Flash cards arranged in order (forward counng).<br />
265 266 267 268 269 270 271 272 273 274<br />
Review<br />
Worksheets will be given to the students.<br />
Assessment<br />
Students will be assessed on their ability to count, read and write numbers ll 200 and beyond;<br />
and how efficiently they use place value blocks to form a two digit number.<br />
