A report on internship carried out at Bulluge Comprehensive High School – Lira

Abstract

This internship was based on the mathematical method of finding out the areas and volumes of solids. This mathematical method was piloted in Bulluge Comprehensive High School Lira The objectives of this attachment were to put mathematical theories into skillful practice for the learners to understand the subject better, to test my competence in demonstration of these theories and also to enrich my prior knowledge. The project involved formulation of different shapes from locally available resources like card board papers and finding out their areas as well as volumes. The projects drew membership from S.2, S.3, and S.4 classes. This internship was based on Euclid’s ideas in geometry In the 4th century BC, the mathematician Eudoxus of cnidus discovered a method for rigorously proving statements about areas and volumes by successive approximations. At the end of the 4th century, Euclids, another mathematician and a teacher who worked at the famed museum of Alexandra wrote in a series of 13 books, called the elements’ which had most of the basic mathematical knowledge on geometry of polygons and the circle, solid geometry and the elementary theory of areas and volumes. Thus, it is from these findings that this project is based
