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 />

of this material.<br />

The CBSE-i website has already started enabling all stakeholders to participate in this initiative through the discussion forums provided<br />

on the portal. Any further suggestions are welcome.<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 />

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 />

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 />

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 />

Topic: Numbers ll 300<br />

Mathematics<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 />
