 APSACS Online Support Program
Class: 8 Week 13
Guidelines for Parents:

1. Second round of Online Support Program (OSP) week 9-14+2 days has been
uploaded to facilitate students as the opening of schools cannot be predicted
in near future.
2. For effective implementation of OSP, the comprehensive guidelines/
instructions, uploaded for parents must be read & understood.
3. Relevant course content uploaded on AIS Student Portal should be
downloaded, and studied offline as per convenience.
4. OSP are accompanied by lesson specific Video Tutorials prepared by
APSACS Resource Pool of subject specialists.
5. For further facilitations schools have made subject teachers available online
for specific guidance.
6. The weekly work assigned will be split over the week days according to the
timetable set by parents.
8. The OSP 9-14 weeks’ work is textbook specific and all subjects except Arts,
have been included. The assignments focus on reading, comprehension of
concepts, written work and projects research. It is expected that students
have bought textbooks by now.
9. Written work is to be done on loose sheets or notebooks with clear mention of
student’s name, class/section, subject/topic and date.
10. The completed assignments will be scanned and submitted on student’s
portal/ any medium given by the school for teachers’ checking. In case, online
submission of assignments is not possible, student will maintain the
completed work in a folder, using separators for weekly assignments to be
presented to teachers for checking/assessment purposes when the school
asks
11. It is mandatory for students to complete and submit all assignments. The
teachers will check and return soon that students may do their corrections
12. The videos/ research work suggested in the assignments should be strictly
monitored by parents. Students should not be left unattended while visiting
sites.
13. In OSP Wk 9-14 for each subject one project has been given. All projects will
be indicated at the beginning of OSP subject wise with detailed guidelines for
project work and format for its written presentation
14. The project/ research work will be assessed. It is important to ensure that the
project is the students own effort and that the student has enjoyed doing it
and learnt many things. The process of doing the project is more important
than the final finished product.

Subject: Mathematics
Text book Oxford New Syllabus Mathematics 2 (7th Edition)
Chapter 17: Averages of Statistical Data
Exercise 17.4 Mean, Median & Mode
This exercise emphasizes on relating the three learned methods that are
Text Book mean, median and mode.

The "mean" is the "average" you're used to, where you add up all the
numbers and then divide by the number of numbers.

The "median" is the "middle" value in the list of numbers. To find the median,
your numbers have to be listed in numerical order from smallest to largest, so
you may have to rewrite your list before you can find the median.

The "mode" is the value that occurs most often. If no number in the list is
repeated, then there is no mode for the list.

• Calculator
• Deck of Playing Cards

Procedure :
i. Draw 7 cards from your deck of playing cards and arrange them
in order from least to greatest. Note: Aces equal 1 and Face
Cards equal 10.

ii. To find the mean of a set of numbers, add all the values
together and divide by the number of values in the set.

iii. To find the median of a set of numbers, arrange the values in

order from least to greatest and find the middlemost number. If
there is an even number of items in the set, then the median is
found by taking the mean (average) of the two middlemost
numbers.

iv. To find the mode of a set of numbers, find the value that occurs
most frequently. Note that data sets can have more than one
mode or no mode.

v. Repeat steps ii, iii and iv but this time after drawing 8 cards.
Review the learned concepts to assure yourself if mean,
median and mode are calculated the same way if numbers are
even.

vi. Repeat steps ii, iii and iv but this time after drawing 9 cards.

Reading: Students to read the given pages (45-47) before attempting the
Text Book written work
(pg 45-47) Students to read and comprehend the information given in
Society, Technology and Science related to the working of
different scientists in development of periodic table.
1. John Newlands put forward his law of octaves in
APSACS Curriculum Planning & Development Department Page 9 of 14
 APSACS Online Support Program
Class: 8 Week 13

1864 in which he arranged all the elements known at the

time into a table in order of relative atomic mass. When
he did this, he found that each element was similar to
the element eight places further on.
2. Mendeleeve: On 17 February 1869, Russian chemist
he jotted down the symbols for the chemical elements,
putting them in order according to their atomic weights
and inventing the periodic table.

They will learn how to identify the group and period of an

element in the periodic table. Foe example The number of
valence electrons in the atom determines the
group number of that atom i.e. if an element has 4 valence
electrons then it must belong to group IV A. Since sodium
has 3 shells, it belongs to period 3. Also, we notice that
this element has 1 electron in its outermost orbit therefore it
belongs to group I A.

Student to practice the group and period of the elements

based on their electronic configuration.
Hint:

Students to Example 3.1, and will learn that for periods,

number of shells are considered and for groups, number of
electrons in last shell are considered.
Example: Magnesium (Mg)
Atomic Number : 12
Electronic Configuration : 1s2 , 2s2, 2p6, 3s2
Period Number = Number of shells = 3 so 3rd Period
Group Number = Electrons in last shell = 2 so Group II
(Hint: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7mLPC74GHMo)

Students to practice Example 3.2 and will learn the problem

solving strategy shared in text book.
Students to remember that “Electronic Configuration”of an
atom is the representation of the arrangement of electrons
distributed among the orbital shells and sub shells. This
electronic configuration always helps in placing an element
