A team Maths Fair item at High School and Higher Secondary/VHSE in which two students carry out a mathematics project with a report, scored out of 100.
A Group Project is the team version of the Single Project. Two students investigate a mathematical question together, analyse data or patterns and present a report and an exhibit.
In the The Kerala School Sasthrolsavam Mathematics Fair (Ganithashastramela) it is the only team item, at High School (classes 8-10) and Higher Secondary/VHSE (classes 11-12), open to girls and boys, and the official rules specify two students.
The same table as the Single Project applies. Both partners must be able to explain every part.
Division of tasks helps, but judges question each partner.

How entrants and their teachers usually get Group Project right on the day:
- Split tasks but read each other’s work.
- Choose a topic with both data and mathematics.
- Keep a joint diary.
- Practise taking turns explaining.
- Draw graphs jointly.
- Prepare answers to ‘who did what?’.
- Rehearse the exhibit as a pair.
- Idea to try: compare shapes of coconut-leaf and banana-leaf patterns using geometry
- Idea to try: a survey of household electricity use with graphs
- Idea to try: tiling patterns in local floor designs
