| + | '''Lesson 2''' |
| + | |
| + | '''Practice with generalization |
| + | Commutative and distributive properties''' |
| + | |
| + | '''(Part1 - Practice with generalization)''' |
| + | *Work with Ex 11.1. Different children can be given different problems. The important thing is they know variables can be in different letters. |
| + | |
| + | *They should also know that different phenomena can be generalized. Mangoes, students, pencils. |
| + | |
| + | *Ask children to talk about (I) did they add (ii) did they multiply? |
| + | |
| + | *For example, when they made “Z” they added three match sticks. When they made 10 “Z” they added 3 +3+3+..... 10 times This is also multiplying by 10. And we simply wrote this as if “n” sticks are needed for a “Z”, then 10n sticks are needed for 10 “Z”. Multiplication is repeated addition. |
| + | |
| + | *Work with the patterns and let children see generalization is not only addition but subtraction and multiplication. |
| + | |
| + | *Check the following document for Shapes patterns students to understand patterns more. |
| + | |
| + | '''(Part 2 - Commutative and distributive properties)''' |
| + | *Give students simple addition (with carry forward). |
| + | *In a group students add in different order and verify |
| + | *They should multiply in different order and verify |
| + | *Also do the distributive property like this <br> |
| + | |
| + | Go back to the number of squares and triangles and activities and introduce Expressions.<br> |
| + | |
| + | Give Ex-11.2 different problems as homework/ classwork practice problems.<br> |
| + | |
| + | '''Lesson 3''' |
| + | (this may take 2 periods)<br> |
| + | *http://www.commoncoresheets.com/Math/Patterns%20and%20Function%20Machines/Identifying%20Pattern%20Attributes/English/1.pdf<br> |
| + | *Numbers and generalizations – Use the spreadsheet to work with addition and subtraction and multiplication generalization<br> |
| + | *Students must make word problems in groups to describe a given expression<br> |
| + | *Students can work in groups for this number pyramid also - check file<br> |
| + | *See page 232 of NCERT book used. That verbal/ mathematical expression important to build.<br> |
| + | *Exercise 11.3 for all students (Do 11.3 with the spreadsheet – discuss some problems)<br> |
| + | *In groups have children write out expressions for given situations in Page 234 of the book chapter.<br> |
| + | *Exercise 11.4 based on student level <br> |
| + | *Introduce equation (based on perimeter of an object) – Show Geogebra file<br> |
| + | |
| + | '''Lesson 4''' |
| + | |
| + | Revisit forming an expression; take the same square example they did above. Extend by making it like this |
| + | [[File:3..png|400px]]<br> |
| + | See this link very useful - http://nrich.maths.org/8111<br> |
| + | -How may different ways can you draw?<br> |
| + | -How many down (vertical) lines and how many inverted C?<br> |
| + | -How many along (horizontal lines) and and how any downs?<br> |
| + | -How many squares and inverted C?<br> |
| + | -How many match sticks?<br> |
| + | |
| + | *Exercise 11.4 based on student level |
| + | *Exercise 11.5 based on student level |
| + | '''Lesson 5''' |
| + | |
| + | Expressions involving square<br> |
| + | |
| + | The objectives of this lesson is to show the difference between 5x2 and (5x)2<br> |
| + | |
| + | Use the attached Geogebra<br> |
| + | file and use following questions.<br> |
| + | |
| + | What is the side of small square?<br> |
| + | What is the side of large square? Explain in terms of small square<br> |
| + | What is the area? Of small square? Of large square? Express in variables<br> |
| + | (x)² and (factor*x)². How is this different from factor*x²<br> |
| + | |
| + | For the (5x)2 you should keep drawing squares using polygon tool.<br> |
| + | |
| + | Use the following second NCERT textbook<br> |
| + | http://ncert.nic.in/NCERTS/textbook/textbook.htm?gemh1=12-15<br> |
| + | Exercise 12.1 |
