What I have to do?
To evaluate algebraic expression by activity method.
What do I require?
Thick coloured papers, cardboard and adhesive.
What do I need to know?
Concept of Variables, Constants and Basic mathematical operations.
Teacher’s Activity
Teacher will enable the students to recall the concept of variables, constants,
basic mathematical operations and will explain the steps of the activity.
How will I proceed?
Student’s Activity
Let us solve an algebraic expression as 2x + 3 when x = 3, where x is a variable and 2, 3
are constants.
Take a cardboard and paste any thick coloured paper on it, say green.
Now, make green rectangular tiles of any convenient size and denote it by a variable (x) as
shown in Fig.1.
(x)
Fig.1
Similarly, make same sized square tiles of other two different colours, say red and blue.
Denote red square tile with (-1) and blue square tile with (+1) as shown in Fig.2.
4/5
(-1) (+1)
Fig.2
Now, to represent 2x + 3, arrange the tiles as shown in Fig.3.
Fig.3
Then, to solve 2x + 3 when x = 3, replace each x with the value of 3 i.e., replace each
green rectangular tile by three blue square tiles as shown in Fig.4.
Fig.4
Now, combine the remaining blue square tiles as shown in Fig.5.
Fig.5
What have I observed?
The value of an algebraic expression 2x + 3 when x = 3 is ____________.
What have I learnt?
