Section E — Case/Source-Based (2 questions, 4 marks each)

Case 1: A group of Class XII students is given the task of developing an educational game “Match the Sum” for children aged 5–7 years. The game displays 15 cells and randomly generates digits. Students must select 2 or 3 digits that sum to 10.

Sub-questions:

(a) Which step of project based learning is being followed when the group first decides to create a game for improving mathematical skills?
(b) Identify two components of teamwork that the students must use while developing this game.
(c) Why is guidance and monitoring important in this project?
(d) How should the group handle the outcome of the project?

Case 2: A team is working on automating order processing for a new restaurant. They have identified one project leader and assigned specific roles to each member. The project must be completed in four weeks.

Sub-questions:

(a) Which approach (modular/top-down/bottom-up) is suggested by dividing the project into manageable modules?
(b) State two components of teamwork that will help the team meet the time frame.
(c) What should the team do if any member gets stuck during development?
(d) How can the team ensure that the outcome meets the restaurant owner’s requirements?

Section B

  1. Project based learning gives thorough practical exposure to students regarding a problem. Students learn to organise the project and use time effectively.
  2. Teamwork is efforts made by individuals collectively to accomplish a task. Example: In cricket, bowler and fielder together take a catch.
  3. Modular approach divides project into manageable modules with defined inputs/outputs that integrate to give the final outcome, unlike developing everything as one single unit.
  4. Communicate with Others, Listen to Others, Share with Others, Respect for Others (any four).
  5. Participants may get stuck; guidance from books/websites/experts and monitoring by project leader/guide teacher helps proceed.
  6. Every project is time-relevant; activities require specific time. A fixed yet flexible time frame ensures timely completion.

Section C

  1. Any three from: Identification, Defining plan, Fixing time frame, Guidance & monitoring, Outcome.
  2. Participation ensures every member feels important and contributes actively in discussions and task completion.
  3. Project divided into modules, each with defined task, inputs and outputs; integration gives desired result.
  4. Outcome can be single or multiple; can be peer-reviewed and modified as per feedback.
  5. Communication helps understand problems; listening ensures agreed steps are followed.

Section D

  1. Five steps: Identification → Defining plan → Fixing time frame → Guidance & monitoring → Outcome (with brief explanation of each).
  2. Six components: Communicate, Listen, Share, Respect, Help, Participate — each explained with chapter points.
  3. Apply all five steps to the restaurant project + use of teamwork components.

Section E

Case 1: (a) Identification of project (b) Communicate, Participate (any two) (c) Members may get stuck; guide teacher helps (d) Peer review and modify as per feedback.
Case 2: (a) Modular approach (b) Communicate, Share (any two) (c) Seek guidance from resources/experts (d) Peer review and modify as per owner feedback.
