Preface
In consonance with the move towards outcome-based education where focus is on
developing competencies in students, the Central Board of Secondary Education is
delighted to share the Teacher Energized Resource Manual that will aid teachers in
aligning their classroom transaction to a competency framework.

Each chapter of the Resource Manual corresponds to the respective chapters in the
NCERT textbooks. The chapters have been chunked by concept; these concepts have
been linked to the NCERT Learning Outcomes; and an attempt has been made to
delineate Learning Objectives for each concept. Every chapter has a set of assessment
items, where two items have been provided as examples for each Learning Objective.
Teachers can use these to assess if the learner has acquired the related concept.
Needless to say, the items are illustrative examples to demonstrate how competency-
based items can be prepared to measure Learning Objectives and Outcomes. The
variety in item forms is suggestive of the ways in which a particular concept can be
assessed to identify if the learner has attained different competencies. We trust and
hope that teachers would be able to generate many more similar test items for use in
practice.

Your observations, insights and comments as you use this Resource Manual are welcome.
Please encourage your students to voice their suggestions as well. These inputs would
be helpful to improve this Manual as these are incorporated in the subsequent editions.
All possible efforts have been made to remove technical errors and present the Manual
in a form that the teachers would find it easy and comfortable to use.

 HOW TO USE THIS MANUAL

The goal of the Teacher Energized Resource Manual (TERM) is to provide teachers with competency-based
education resources aligned to NCERT textbooks that would support them in the attainment of
desired Learning Outcomes and development of requisite competencies of the learner. The TERM has
equal number of corresponding chapters as NCERT Textbooks with listing of Concepts, Learning Outcomes
developed by NCERT and Learning Objectives. Competency based test items for each corresponding
Learning Objective and sample activities for enrichment have been provided.

Learning Objectives:
Each chapter has a Learning Objectives table. The table also lists the Concepts covered in the chapter. Learning
Objectives are broken down competencies that a learner would have acquired by the end of the chapter.
They are a combination of skills and what the learner would use this skill for. For example, the first
Learning Objective in the table below relates to the skill of application and the students will use this
competency to obtain the highest common factor of 2 positive integers. Teachers can use these specific
Learning Objectives to identify if a student has acquired the associated skill and understands how that skill
can be used.

Concepts:
The important concepts in a particular chapter are listed in the first section. Most often, they follow a logical
order and present a sequence in which these are likely to be covered while teaching. In case, your
teaching strategy is different and presents them in a different order, you need not worry. Teach the way,
you consider the best. You only need to ensure their understanding and the attainment of desired learning
objectives.

Learning Outcomes (NCERT):

A mapping of Learning Outcomes developed by the NCERT and Learning Objectives is provided in last
column of the table. The Learning Outcomes have been developed by the NCERT. Each Learning Objective
is mapped to NCERT Learning Outcomes and helps teachers to easily identify the larger outcome that
a learner must be able to demonstrate at the end of the class/ chapter.

4
Test items:
For each Learning Objective, at least two competency-based test items have been provided. Although, the
items in this resource manual are multiple choice questions, which assess developed competencies of a
student rather than only knowledge, it must be kept in mind that there can be different kinds of
assessment that can easily align with competency-based education. Teachers can use these items to assess
if a learner has achieved a particular Learning Objective and can take necessary supportive actions.
Teachers are also encouraged to form similar questions which assess skills of students.

Fig: 3
Suggested Teacher Resources
At the end of each chapter, certain activities have been suggested which can be carried out by the
teachers with learners to explain a concept. These are only samples and teachers can use, adapt, as well
as, create activities that align to a given concept.

1 Lesson Plan

Objective Apply rules of multiplication of integers in order to solve various arithmetic expressions and
contextual problems

Material
Required Red and green buttons (20 of each)

Previous Multiplication
Knowledge

Procedure Teacher starts with a question:

What does multiplication mean?
Teacher need to force connection between multiplication and repetitive addition.
For example, students must be familiar with 4 × 3 can be read as positive 4 repeated 3 times.

With buttons it will look like this

Here green buttons are positive and red buttons are negative.

Negative integers:

Positive integers:

Divide students into pairs and ask them to demonstrate following operations using above logic.

Demonstrate:
1. (+4) × (+2)
2. (-2) × (+2)
3. (+2) × (-2)
4. (-2) × (-2)

Note: Teacher need to push students into thinking

1. how can they read (+4) × (+2) as?

13
 2. How do they understand this?

Answers:

1. Demonstration of (+4) x (+2)

Q. How do you read this?
Ans: This can be read as positive 2 repetitively adding 4 times.
Q) How do you understand this?
Ans: Positive 2 is clear, it means 2 green buttons. Repeating positive 4 times implies repeating
four times in the same way. So, 2 green buttons are repeated four times which makes them
equal 8 green buttons.

2. Demonstration of (+2) x (-2)

Q. How do you read this?
Ans: This can be read as negative 2 repetitively added 2 times.
Q) How do you understand this?
Ans: Repeating positive 2 times implies repetitively adding two times in the same way. Hence
(+2) x (-2) equals -4.

Student will feel stuck on the following problem.

3. Demonstration of (-2) x (+4)

Q) How do you read this?
Ans: Positive 4 is being repetitively removed two times.
Q) How do you understand this?
Ans: Since students can’t remove positive 4 as there are no buttons on the table teacher can
help student by hinting what would keeping 1 red and 1 green button on the table means.
1 red and 1 green button will add up to 0. So, keeping 8 green and 8 red would also turn out to
be 0.
Now students can easily remove 4 green twice. There will be only 8 red buttons left.
Hence (-2) x (+4) equals -8.

4. Demonstration of (-2) x (-4)

Q) How do you read this?
Negative 4 is repetitively removed twice.
Q) How do you understand this?
Ans: Add 8 green and 8 red buttons on the table and remove 4 red buttons twice.
Hence, we will get 4 green buttons. (-2) x (-4) = +8.

After all the students performed this activity as students to fill the following table.

Multiplication Result
Positive × Positive
Positive × Negative
Negative × Positive
Negative × Negative
Source [Link]

2 Activity

Objective: Students would be able to visualize distributive property of multiplication for integers.
Materials required: Red and Green buttons, multi-colour pen

14
Setup: The green button represents positive one and red button represents negative one. 1 red and 1 green button
would be 0 when added.

Distributive property: a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
Where a, b, c are integers.
Teacher will demonstrate with an example.
Take 4 × [ 2 + (-5)] should be equal to 4 × 2 + 4 × (-5)

Visual representation
Steps:
1. represent the products on either side of equations as follows.

2. Remove zero pairs since we know 1 red and 1 green button adds up to zero.

3. Count the number of buttons left and if they are green then put a positive sign and if they are red then put
a negative sign in front of the number.

Teacher can ask students to repeat these steps for:

1. 3 × [ 1 + (-4)]
2. -4 × [ (-2) + (-5)]

1 LESSON PLAN

Objective-: Students will evaluate and compare equivalent fractions in order to understand the portion of a whole
we need.
Material Required:
 2 copies of a circle divided into 8 pieces (Attached below)
 Markers or crayons
 Scissors
 Pencil
 Glue

Procedure-:
 Begin by playing hang-man, or a similar word game, with the word “PIZZA.”
 Once students have guessed the word, the teacher will ask how many students love pizza.
 Engage the students in a think-pair-share with their favourite toppings of pizza. (First give students 30 seconds-
1 minute to think about their favourite pizza topping, then let them tell a partner, then call on students to
share their or their partner’s favourite pizza topping.)
 Ask students if they have ever ordered a pizza with 2 toppings on it, for example, half cheese and half peperoni.
 Explain to students that this is math and fractions!
 Write on the board:
o ½ peperoni + ½ cheese equals 2/2 which equals 1 whole pizza.
 Hand out 1 copy of the circle worksheet.
 Instruct students to draw the most delicious pizza that they can imagine. Tell them that they can do ½ and ½
or make each slice the same, or make each slice different.
 Once they have finished their pizza, ask them to write their name on each slice of pizza.
 Have students carefully cut out each slice of pizza and carefully place them on their desk.
 Have a helper collect all of the paper scraps and recycle them.
 Hand out the 2nd copy of the circle worksheet.
 Instruct students to choose 1 of their slices of pizza and glue it to their paper inside the circle.
 Tell students to get out a blank sheet of lined paper and write “Fun Fraction Pizza” on the top. In the first
line, have students write “pizza I made = 1/8.” Model this on the board.
 Now tell students to find a buddy student and trade 2 pieces of pizza.
 When students have exchanged these slices, have them come back to their seat and write, “Pizza my
buddy made = 2/8”
 Now tell students to exchange 1 piece of pizza with a girl.
 Next, tell students to exchange one piece of pizza with a boy.

29
 Now tell students to exchange the remaining 3 pizzas with whomever they would like (or if you have any other
classifications in your classroom, such as groups, you can also tell them to exchange with another group
member, etc…)
 Once students have exchanged all of their slices tell them to go back to their seats and glue all of the pizza
nicely to their paper.

Guided Practice
 Model on the board the rest of the worksheet.
o Pizza that boys made x/8
o Pizza that girls made x/8
o Pizza that people in my group made x/8
o Etc…
o Pizza slices in total 8/8
 Once the students have completed all of the categories out of 8 slices, ask them if they know how to
simplify any of the fractions.
 Guide students to simplify the fractions by dividing by 2 and/or by 4, and the whole pizza, 8/8 is equal to
1 whole.

Independent Practice- Teacher will give students a basic fraction simplification worksheet such as the example
attached. This will be used as an assessment.

2 ACTIVITY

 After the opening activity, bring the class back together as a whole to discuss equivalent fractions. let
the students know that today, we learn how to create equivalent fractions.
 Students explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction
models. The students use multiplication and division to find equivalent fractions. The fraction strips are used to
give a visual of the equivalent fractions.

 When discussing the shaded fractions, some students might say that one side shaded was the whole (the side
with the shaded 1/2) and the other side is half of the whole (the side with the shaded 2/4). Clear that up
before we got any further into the lesson. Teacher question to those two students was, "How is that a whole
when you shaded it from part of something?" Teacher wanted them to understand the concept of what a
fraction actually means. "It is a part of a whole."
 Teacher will explain to the class that the sheet of paper is the "whole." A fraction is a part of a whole. If you
have a pizza, the pizza is the whole. The slices would be a fraction of the whole pizza.
 When you are dealing with fractions, if you are trying to figure out if they are equivalent, they must have
the same whole. (I hold up a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 copy paper and a piece of 9 x 12 construction paper.) We
can't
30
 use these two pieces of paper to shade 1/2 and 2/4 because the construction paper is larger than the
copy paper. That is not the same whole. The 1/2 on the construction paper is larger than the 1/2 on the
copy paper. (Teacher will demonstrate by folding the construction paper and comparing it with 1/2 of the
copy paper.) This gives the students a conceptual understanding that we must use the same whole when
finding equivalent fractions.
 Teacher will show the students fraction strips of 1/2 and 2/4. The students see from the fraction strips that
these two fractions are equivalent. (This is another visual for the students to see that 1/2 and 2/4 are
equivalent.)
 If we look at 1/2, 2/4, and 3/6, we should be able to notice something. The students will notice the pattern
with the fractions. One student will say that the top number is counting up 1, 2, and 3. Another student notice
the denominator is counting up by 2's. "If this pattern continues, what would be the next equivalent fraction?"
 Teacher give the students a minute to think about this question. If the fraction is 1/2, I can find an
equivalent fraction by multiplying the top number and the bottom number by the same number.
 Teacher can use any number other than 1. Teacher will ask students "Who can tell me why we can't use the
number 1 to multiply or divide?" Some students might remember their property of one, which says that any
number multiplied by 1 equals that same number. If I pick the number 2, then I multiply 1 x 2 = 2 and 2 x 2 =
4. This shows you that 1/2 is equivalent to 2/4. When you do this, you must make sure you use the same
number for the numerator and denominator. (The students will see the connection between multiplying to find
equivalent fractions and get a visual of this when they use fraction strips for their hands-on activity.)
 Teacher will reinforce to the students that in equivalent fractions, we must refer to the same whole. If you
have 1/2 of something, Teacher have 2/4, and another person has 3/6, we all have the same amount if we are
talking about the same whole. "You can't have a large pizza and teacher have a small pizza, and we say we have
the same amount if teacher have 2/4 and you have 1/2. That is not going to be true because you are going to
have more than me if you have a large pizza and teacher have a small pizza. My 2/4 will be smaller than your
1/2. It has to be the same size and the same shape.

Closing

Hold a class discussion. Ask students to relay what they learned. Ask them how they can use this at home. (For
example, when they order pizza). Ask students if there are any other kinds of foods that this could work with (cake,
pie, etc…).

Prerequisite Mean, median, mode

Knowledge

Procedure The teacher starts with the following story:

The residents of Kashmir need your help! Mayor Raj Singh, a scientist, has invented a weather
machine. Now he's in control of the weather for the entire region and has subjected the residents
of Kashmir to so many different temperatures that they don't know what season it is. One day it's
snowing; the next day it's over 100 degrees! The plants are dying, and people are getting sick.
Take a look at the temperatures in the past week.

0°, 106°, 50°, 10°, 62°, 90°, 50°

Then, the teacher will explain that the first step to help the residents of Kashmir solve this problem
is to sort the temperatures from least to greatest.
0° 10° 50° 50° 62° 90° 106°
Then, the teacher will Ask:
● What is the highest temperature this week? (106°)
● What is the lowest? (0°)
● What is the middle temperature in the set of temperatures ordered from least to greatest?
(50°) This is the median.
● What is the temperature that occurs most frequently? (50°) This is the mode.
● What is the difference between the highest temperature and the lowest
temperature? (106° - 0° = 106). This is the range.
● Based on the range, would you say the data are clustered together or spread out? Would
the range of normal weather patterns be large or small? Explain your reasoning. (The
data from Whateverville is spread out; normal weather patterns should have a smaller
range.)
● What do you think is an average spring temperature in our area? (Answers will vary.)
● How can you calculate the average or mean temperature in Kashmir? (The mean can be
found by adding all the numbers together and dividing by the number of temperatures.)
Then the teacher will ask the students to:
Write the simplified definitions for median, mode, mean, and range on the chalkboard for easy
reference. median - middle number
● mode - most frequent number
● mean - average
● range - difference between greatest and least number
Next, the teacher asks the students to:
● Arrange this data from least to greatest. (45°, 48°, 51°, 53°, 55°, 57°, 62°, 63°, 69°, 101°)
● What is the median? (If the data set has two middle numbers, in this case 55° and 57°, then the
median is the number halfway between the two-56°.)
● What is the mode? (There is no mode because no number occurs more than once.)
● What is the range? (101 - 45 = 56°)
● What is the mean? (45 + 48 + 51 + 53 + 55 + 57 + 62 + 63 + 69 + 101 = 604. 604 ÷ 10
=
60.4°)
● Which temperature would you eliminate to make all the temperatures fit into spring?

43
 (101°)
● How would that affect the mean temperature? (Eliminating the highest value would lower the
mean temperature. 503 ÷ 9 = 55.9°)

2 Activity

Use your Shoe!

The teacher will start the activity by discussing the following points:
A. Mean is the sum of all values divided by the number of values in the data set. Another term used for mean
is average.
B. Median is the middle value in the data set. If there are two middle values, add them and divide by two.
C. Mode is the most frequently occurring value data point of the set.
Next, the teacher will ask the students to record the shoe size of everyone in the class in the following table:

Student Shoe Size Gender

Next, the teacher asks the students to find the mean shoe size of the
class Mean (add all shoe sizes / total # of students) =
Then, the teacher asks the students to find the median of the shoes sizes of the class:
Median (write all shoe sizes in order from least to greatest, find the middle shoe size. If there are two middle shoe
sizes, add them up and divide by 2) = _
Then, find the mode of the data:
Mode (find the shoe size that occurs most frequently) =
Then, the teacher asks the students to compare the mean, median, mode of the data with their own shoe size.

2 ACTIVITY

Objective: To help children learn to build equations for a given situation with one operation and find the value for
which the equation holds true.
Materials: Bottles or packets of similar kind and 100-gram weights
Setup:

The picture here shows 1 bottle and three 100gm weights on the left-hand side and five 100gm weights on the right-
hand side.
Pose the question:
Q) What do you see on the left-hand side?
Q) Do we know the weight of the bottle? How shall we name its
weight? Students will discuss the answer in pairs.

51
Since the students have already been exposed to the idea of using the letter ‘x’ as a variable to represent an unknown
quantity, they will have no difficulty in accepting its usage in this situation.

Q) What do we see on the right-hand side?

Q) Is the balance in the level position?
Q) How do we represent all this information as an equation?
Ans: x + 300 = 500.
Q) What would be the weight of the bottle?
Students should be able to give the answer to this immediately.
However, the teacher needs to expose them to the procedure of inverse operation as well.

Note: Teacher should discuss and explain ‘inverse operations’ for all four basic operations at this point.

300 gm can be removed from both sides to maintain the balance in level position.
x + 300 – 300 = 500 – 300.
Hence, x = 200.
Teacher can do more problems of this kind involving other operations before moving on to the next level.
Setup:

The picture here shows 2 bottles and three 100gm weights on the left-hand side and seven 100gm weights on
the right-hand side.
Pose the question:
Q) How do we represent this information as an equation?
Again, talk about the weight of the bottle as the unknown ‘x’ and help the students to formulate the equation.
2x + 300 = 700.
Q) What would be the weight of the bottle which is denoted here by x?
Students need to internalise that ‘x’ stands for some definite quantity in each situation.
Some students may be able to figure out an answer to this through mental calculations.
Help them verify their answer by following the procedure of inversion operations as well.
The visual aid helps students in thinking about what can be removed from both the sides.
2x + 300 – 300 = 700 – 300 (inverse of addition is subtraction)
Point out that +300 and –300 cancel each other.
2x ÷ 2 = 400 ÷ 2 (inverse of multiplication is division)
Hence x = 200.
At the introductory stage, students should use inverse operations as part of their working. At a later point they may
see the equivalence of writing it only on one side as the other side will inevitably cancel out. That is, instead of
writing 2x + 300 – 300 = 700 – 300
they will write
2x = 700 – 300.
The teacher can do more problems of this kind involving other operations before moving on to the next level.
Note: The teacher can show transposing variables and numbers from one side of the equation to the other after
working through a few problems.

Objective- Students will be able to correctly name types of angles and state that these angles are congruent
depending on whether the lines cut by a transversal are parallel in order to find the missing angles in a given
question.
Material Used-: Activity sheet
Procedure-:
1. It is often found that students often have a hard time differentiating between the names we assign to types
of angles particularly because, at a quick glance, students often just see pairs of angles without noticing that their
location relative to one other and to the lines and transversal matter greatly .
2. Teacher will start the class where teacher wants students to work on the , Crossing the Line, in pairs to
create a greater sense of safety and allow more risk taking compared to groups of four. This is important for
this lesson since it may hard for students to understand the vocabulary for types of angles. Students often
just see pairs of angles without noticing that their location relative to one another, the boundary lines and
transversal.

Crossing the Line

Whenever two lines are cut by a transversal, some very interesting patterns occur. Our goal is to get comfortable
with the names of these angles so we can better understand the patterns.

Match the term with the word or description you believe best represents it.

Corresponding Opposite
Alternate Following each other without interruption
Consecutive Located in the same relative position

Given the following diagrams that feature a pair of angles, choose from the following names to best represent
the angle relationship you see. Each name can only be used once

☐ Alternate Interior Angles ☐ Consecutive Interior Angles

☐ Alternate Exterior Angles ☐ Consecutive Exterior Angles
☐ Corresponding Angles

 After this activity Teacher will do a whole-class demonstration where Teacher will model for students how
to use tracing paper. By this point, several students have conjectured that vertical angles are congruent. At
this point, Teacher use the document camera to show that vertical angles are congruent with tracing paper;
then prove vertical angles are congruent using linear pairs of angles in a whole-class discussion.
 Teacher goal in this discussion is to begin developing students' understanding for how they can attempt to
prove their conjectures true.
 At this point, Teacher ask students to draw two lines that are clearly not parallel and to cut these lines by
a transversal since it is important to establish parallel lines as a special condition.
 Teacher ask students to use their tracing paper to identify any pairs of angles that are congruent. We
share out our findings as a whole class (only vertical pairs of congruent). Ideally, a student will ask, "But
what happens if the lines are parallel? Would there be other pairs of angles that are congruent?" after this
do transition into the parallel lines investigation.

 Teacher then operate under the assumption that the lines on our notebook paper are parallel. Then ask
students to use their tracing paper to identify pairs of angles that are congruent and to name these angles
65
by

66
 using their work from Crossing the Line. Ultimately, students write a conjecture for the types of angles that
are congruent given parallel lines.
 While students work through this investigation, circulate the room to assist them with using tracing paper
and naming pairs of angles. Inevitably, some groups will finish conjecturing about the types of angle pairs
that are congruent before other groups; then offer early finishers an extension: identify pairs of angles that
are supplementary and prove your conjecture

Conjecture-:
If two parallel lines are cut by a transversal, then...
a. Corresponding angles are
b. The alternate interior angles are
c. The alternate exterior angles are

2 Activity

Time- 30 min
 Give the students practice on this skill by letting them work together. Collaborative learning is vital to the
success of students. Students learn from each other by justifying their answers and critiquing the reasoning
of others.

 For this activity, put the students in pairs. Give each group a Group Activity Sheet on Line Segments, Rays,
and Angles. The students must work together draw line segments, rays, and angles. They must
communicate precisely to others within their groups. They must use clear definitions and terminology as
they precisely discuss this problem. Upon completion of drawing models, the students must go on
a scavenger hunt around the classroom identifying items that have acute, right, obtuse or straight
angles. The students explain why they labelled the items as they did by using attributes that clearly
separate the groups.

The students are guided to the conceptual understanding through questioning by their classmates, as well
as by teachers. The students communicate with each other and must agree upon the answer to the
problem. Because the students must agree upon the answer, this will take discussion, critiquing, and
justifying of answers by both students. As the pairs discuss the problem, they must be precise in their
communication within their groups using the appropriate math terminology for this skill.

 As they work, monitor and assess their progression of understanding through questioning.
1. Describe a line segment?
2. What makes an angle?
3. What's the difference between a ray and a line?

 Suggested Teacher Resources

Objective To apply the Pythagorean property in order to find the length of the unknown side in a right-
angled triangle.
1 Lesson Plan
Material None
Required

Prerequisite Pythagoras Theorem

Knowledge

Procedure The teacher will start the class with the following discussion:
Can you State Triangle Proportionality Theorem?
Triangle proportionality Theorem
If a line parallel to one side of a triangle intersects the other two sides, then it divides
those sides proportionally.

Then, the teacher will start with the following story:

There was a boy named Raj. Raj and his family were living besides a big tree and a river. His father was a
carpenter, and that makes Raj also want to become an Engineer. He shows more interest about
mathematics, he always applies mathematics on the things that he usually uses.
One day while Raj was playing with his kite on the other side of the river, it was accidently stuck at the top
of the tree. Luckily, he was able to measure the length of the thread he uses before playing which
measures 20 metres.
Then, since, he has been crossing the bridge for a long time, he already knew the length of the bridge
which is 12 meters.
Until one day, when he was about to cross the bridge going to school, he noticed that the bridge was
already destroyed. He doesn’t want to be absent on that day because they will have an
exam. And suddenly a great idea came to his mind. He needs to cut the tree to replace the bridge. But he
was not sure that the length of the tree is longer or equal to the length of the bridge. How could Raj make
sure that if he cut the tree it would reach to the other side of the bridge?
(He is going to find the length of the tree)

Next, the teacher divides the students in 3 groups and asks them to solve the following questions:

Group 1:
Ria is admiring a statue in Shastri park from 16 feet away. If the distance between the top
of the statue to Ria’s head is 20 feet, how much taller is the statue?
Group 2:
A bird was sitting in 8 feet away from a mango tree and flew 17 feet to reach at the top of
the tree. How tall is the tree?
Group 3:
The foot of a ladder is placed 6 feet from a wall. If the top of the ladder rests 8 feet up on the
wall, how long is the ladder?

77
 And then the teacher shuffles the questions in groups and discusses the answers with the class.

2 Activity

Activity:
Objective: To verify Pythagoras theorem by an alternate method
Material Required: a piece of cardboard,2 sheets of white paper, a pair of scissors, a geometry box, a tube of glue
Procedure:
The teacher will ask the students to carry out the activity by following the given steps:
● Paste a sheet of white paper on the cardboard.
● On this paper, draw a right-angled triangle ABC, right angled at C. Let the lengths of the sides AB, BC
and CA be c, a and b units respectively (see Figure 11.1).
● Make an exact replica of this ΔABC on the other paper.
● Construct a square with the side AB as one of its sides. Now, each side of this square is equal to c
units.
● Similarly, construct two squares with sides measuring a units and b units along the sides and CA of
the ΔABC. Label the diagram as shown in Figure 11.2. Also, shade the squares as shown in Figure
11.2.
● Produce the side DA of the square DEBA to meet the side IH of the square ACHI at M. At point
M, draw NM perpendicular to AM, so that N lies on the side CH of the square ACHI.
● Produce the side EB of the square DEBA to meet the side CG of the square BFGC at P.

78
● Cut the squares DEBA, BFGC and ACHI. Also, cut the square BFGC along the line BP and the square
ACHI along the lines AM and MN. We thus have a square DEBA, two quadrilaterals—BFGP and ACNM—
and three triangles—BCP, AIM and NHM.
● Arrange the two quadrilaterals and the three triangles on the square DEBA as shown in Figure 11.3.

● We observe that all the parts of the squares BFGC and ACHI, i.e., two quadrilaterals and three triangles
completely cover the square DEBA. Therefore,
● area of the square DEBA = area of the square BFGC + area of the square ACHI
● i.e., c² = a² + b².
● In other words, the square of the hypotenuse of right-angled ΔABC is equal to the sum of the squares of the
other two sides

Objective Give example(s) in order to discuss the congruence of triangles and its corresponding parts under a
given correspondence.
1 LESSON PLAN
Material Straws, geometry set
Required

Previous Congruence of figures, lines and angles

Knowledge

Procedure Opening:

Divide students into groups of 3 and ask them to discuss the following questions:
Q) How many different triangles do you think can be constructed using the three-line segments
shown?
Q) What does this tell you about all triangles with sides of the given lengths?

Student need to reason out their answers. Take few responses and note them down on the board.
Big Questions that will be discussed today is
Q) What information is required to prove that two triangles are congruent?
Activity:
Q) What does it mean for triangles to be congruent?
Ans: When triangles are congruent, they have three pairs of congruent angles and three pairs of
congruent sides. Or Corresponding parts are equal.
Q) What would be the converse of this statement?
Ans: If two triangles have 3 pairs of congruent sides and 3 pairs of congruent angles then the
triangles will be congruent.
Since in opening students were able to confirm that only one triangle is possible with 3 sides
known. Then it’s enough information to guarantee that the triangles are congruent.
Hence, triangles are congruent if 3 pair of sides are congruent.
This property is known as SSS (side – side - side) rule.
Students will divide into groups of 5 and discuss the following question. Students can use
sticks/straws to make sides of triangles and protractor to measure angles between sides.
Q) What other combinations of sides and angles when congruent leads to triangles being
congruent?

Students will answer using following table:

91
 Combination Sketch the triangle Does having combination of
constructed. Are they congruent parts guarantee
congruent or not? that triangles are
congruent?

Guiding instructions:
1. Start by thinking of all the different ways two triangles can have three pairs of congruent
parts. For example, ‘S-S-S’ means that the triangles have three pairs of congruent sides. List
every combination you can think of.
2. Now go back and look for combinations that are really the same combination counted twice.
For example, are ‘S-A-A’ and ‘A-A-S’ really different? Keep in mind that triangles are congruent
if one can be rotated and reflected to lie on top of the other. Cross out any duplicate
combinations. (If you are not sure, just leave both combinations for now. It will become
clearer when you use both combinations of elements to build triangles.)
3. Do all combinations of three pairs of congruent elements guarantee that two triangles are
congruent? Place a check by every combination you are sure guarantees congruence. Put a
question mark by those you doubt. It may help to sketch a few triangles using the space
below.

2 ACTIVITY

Objective: Use SSS Congruence criterion in order to examine whether the given triangles are congruent or not.
Materials required: Coloured paper, paper cutter, pencil and scale

Setup: Coloured sheets to be divided 1 per student. Students need to be careful around sharp objects like cutter
and follow the instruction of the teacher properly.
Instructions:
1. Fold the paper in half

92
93
2. Mark points P and Q on the edge of the paper. Mark a point C between PQ.

3. Open the paper and fold a crease on the left side of PQ. Make with a line AB as shown.

4. Double the paper and poke holes in points A and B so that those points make a mark on the opposite side.

5. Fold from A to C and make a line on the crease. Do the same from B to C. Triangle ABC will be visible.

6. Open the paper and mark the poked holes as A’ and B’.

94
7. Angle ACB will be equal to Angle A’CB’. Vertically opposite angles. Fold along A’B’ and cut along the crease.

8. Fold the line from CA’ and CB’ and cut along them to get triangle A’B’C.

9. Superimpose triangle A’B’C over triangle ABC. If they match then both the triangles are congruent.

Observations:
Sides of triangle ABC were taken at random and were copied to length on triangle A’B’C in steps 3.
In triangle ABC and triangle A’B’C
AB = A’B’ (By Construction)
AC = A’C (By symmetry)
BC = B’C (By symmetry)
Hence Triangle ABC is congruent to Triangle A’B’C by SSS rule

1 LESSON PLAN

Objective-: Students will be able to define, represent and compare a ratio in order to show a relationship between
two different quantities.
Material Required-: Activity Sheet.
Procedure-:
 Start the class with do now activity I create do now activity students will review how to create ratios. The
Problem pushes students to look at the current ratio of 5:8 and reason what to add to the picture to create
a ratio of 3:4 (or 6:8).
 Call students to share out their answers and share whether they agree or disagree with one
another. Present a ratio with the numbers switched and ask students if this will work. Students should
remember that the order of the values does matter.
Do Now
Here is a set of cards:

Write each ratio as a fraction:

1. The ratio of face-up cards to the whole set. :
2. The ratio of face-down cards to the whole set. to
3. The ratio of face-down cards to face-up cards. (Write as fraction)
4. Add a drawing of some face-down cards so that the ratio of face-down to face-up cards is 3:4.
 Now give another activity sheet to the students where they will compare ratios.
 This will give students an opportunity to show what they know about equivalent ratios. Read the prompt and
tell students to work for a few minutes on their own.
 After a few minutes, prompt students to participate in a Think Pair Share. Ask students to compare their ratios
of trucks to boxes. Call on students to share out their ratios. Ask for one student to share a match he/she
found. Ask students if they agree or disagree and why.
 Some students may be confused, or having difficulty finding multiple matches. This is okay. As we want to plant
these questions and we will return to them later in the lesson.

 Present ratio tables as one tool to help students to understand the relationship between the two
categories. Teacher along with students will work through the bouquet problem together. Students should
be able to recognize the pattern and vocalize that the ratio of daisies to tulips is 2:1.

Ratios and Tables:

 Equivalent ratios can be displayed using a table.
 Try to figure out the between the two columns.
 The values in the table do NOT have to go in order.

Problem:

 The following initiate the processes for fractions with numerators 1…6 and denominators 3…8.
 Any of these processes can be extended to any (proper) fraction with denominator ≤ 10 with the help of the
square sheets.
 Then they can be extended further for fractions with any denominators.
The salient features are mentioned at the end of each. In general:

  The fractions (and whole numbers) get generated at random and thus gives children good opportunity to play
with them all.
 Games help children internalize certain math facts and patterns by repeated occurrence where repetition is
not boring.
 Care has been taken to focus on (i) only proper or (ii) proper fractions and wholes or (iii) all fractions as is
deemed appropriate.
 Paper folding instructions have been included as an integral part whenever necessary and excluded
when calculation can or should be done mentally Probabilistically speaking here are the chances of
getting.
 An improper fraction: 5/36
 Whole or 1: 4/36 = 1/9
 Whole numbers: 5/36
 Proper fractions: 26/36 = 13/18 Figure 2 3
 Fraction that are reduced: 23/36
 Fractions not reduced: 8/36 = 2/9 (excluding whole numbers)
 Fractions < ½: 15/36 = 5/12

1. Make the fraction:-

[Link] both die – suppose you get numerator = 3 and denominator = 5.
[Link] in how many parts the whole has to be divided and fold a square paper accordingly (i.e. the number
on the coloured dice or denominator q).

[Link] how many parts of the above have to be coloured or shaded (i.e. the number on the regular dice or
numerator p).

[Link] the fraction as p/q – e.g. 3/5.

Features:
1. Identifying denominator and numerator.
2. Identifying 1 or whole whenever the numbers match i.e. whole 3/3 = … = 6/6.
3. Natural extension to improper fraction as and when it arrives – Initially p > q can be ignored till children master
the understanding of proper fractions But afterwards, this opportunity should be grabbed to introduce improper
(and mixed) fractions and then the game can be played with 2 regular die or 2 coloured die as well 0.

Bigger and smaller: in groups of

5 Comparing fractions:
[Link] any given fraction fold a square and shade it from one end without leaving any gap in between.
[Link] and shade squares according to the fractions to be compared.
[Link] the squares one below the other with the fold lines vertical and so that the shaded regions start from
the left.
[Link] the shaded regions to order the fractions – bigger the shaded region, bigger the corresponding fraction
– e.g. Figure 5 compares 3/5 and 5/7.

Variation 1: a. Each player creates a fraction b. The largest one wins – fraction scale or square sheets can be used to
verify c. All fractions can be arranged in order.

Variation 2: After the 1st player gets the 1st fraction

[Link] 2nd player throws only the coloured dice and chooses a numerator p, so that the 2nd fraction > the 1st.
[Link] 3rd player throws only the regular dice and chooses a denominator q, so that the 3rd fraction > the 1st.
[Link] 4th player throws only the coloured dice and chooses a numerator p, so that the 4th fraction < the 1st.
[Link] 5th player throws only the regular dice and chooses a denominator q, so that the 5th fraction > the 1st.
[Link] fractions are written down and the numbers chosen by players 2-4 circled.
[Link] game continues by rotation.
[Link] round is complete when each player got a chance to make the 1st fraction.
[Link] of rounds depend on the time available.

Features:
1. Ordering fractions
2. Finding fractions given fractions
3. Open ended and can have multiple solutions
4. Should realize the being 2nd or 5th player is easier than being 3rd or 4th player.

 Suggested Teacher Resources

LESSON PLAN
1

Objective To apply the rules of rational numbers operations in order to simplify arithmetic operations on
rational numbers

Material Standard deck of Cards

Required

Prerequisite Operations on rational numbers

Knowledge

Procedure The teacher will arrange students into groups of two or more and will Have students deal out
as many cards as possible from a deck of cards, so that each student has an equal number of
cards. Then, she will Put aside any extra cards.
Next, the teacher will explain to students that every black card in their pile represents a
positive number. Every red card represents a negative number. In other words a black seven is
worth +7 (seven), a red three is worth 3 (negative 3).
At the start of the game, Teacher asks each player to place his or her cards in a stack, face
down. Then asks the player to the right of the dealer to turn up one card and say the number
on the card.

For example, if the player turns up a black eight, he or she says 8.

This continues from one player to the next in a clockwise direction. The second player turns up
a card, adds it to the first card, and says the sum of the two cards aloud.
For example, if the card is a red 9, which has a value of -9, the player says 8 + (-9)
= (-1)
The next player takes the top card from his or her pile, adds it to the first two cards, and says
the sum.
For example, if the card is a black 2, which has a value of +2, the player says (-1)
+ 2 = 1.

The game continues until someone shows a card that, when added to the stack, results in a sum
of exactly 25.

Extra Challenging Version

To add another dimension to the game, you might have students always use subtraction. Doing
that will reinforce the skill of subtracting negative integers.

For example, if player #1 plays a red 5 (-5) and player #2 plays a black 8 (+8), the
difference is -13: (-5) - (+8) = -13

If the next player plays a red 4, the difference is -9: (-13) - (-4) = -9. [Recall: Minus a
minus number is equivalent to adding that number.]

Also, the teacher can ask students to note down the numbers and solve the operations in their
notebooks.

 2 Activity

Material Required: number lines, metric rulers, pattern blocks, pie shapes, paper strips for fractions, fractional
circles or squares, geoboards
Procedure: The teacher will start the activity by asking students to make a fractional strip using the following
material:
1. one whole sheet of paper--81/2 x 11--white
2. two half sheets (each half of an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet)-orange
3. three one-third sheets--yellow
4. four one-fourth sheets--pale pink
5. six one-sixth sheets--blue
6. eight one-eighth sheets--green
7. sixteen one-sixteenth sheets--bright pink
8. twelve one-twelfth sheets--beige
9. twenty-four one-twenty-fourth sheets--purple
It would be recommended that each student have a personal kit.

Each of the above coloured sheets of paper can be thought of as a rectangular `pizza' cut into a specific number
of parts. Children can be asked to say what one piece of each `pizza' would be called, what 5 pieces would be
called, etc. They can then be asked to determine if 5 pieces of any of their `pizzas' is more than one, and, if so,
which
`pizzas.' They could then be asked to reassemble their `pizzas' into the separate colours and state how many parts
of each comprise one-whole, one-half, etc.

Children can take from their kits specific pieces (e. g. 3/8) and be asked to find other kit pieces which show the
same amount (e. g. 6/16; 9/24). They can do this by laying their kit pieces on top of or under each other. They are
comparing these fractional amounts, but they are also exploring equivalence. You can repeat this same activity for
any fraction which has an equivalent.

Continuing this activity. The teacher would ask to have the children select one fraction (e. g. 3/4), place it on
their desk, and put under its other fractions which add to give 3/4. For example, one child may place 1/2 and 1/4
under the 3/4; another may place 1/8, 1/8, 1/8, 1/8, 1/16, 1/16, 1/24, 1/24, and 1/24 under the 3/4. Both children
would be "correct." These fraction strips may or may not be ordered from the largest amount (1/8) to the smallest
amount (1/24). If they are not ordered, the children can then be directed to order them. This activity can be
repeated with any beginning fractional amount.

1/6 1/6 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 + 1/6 = 2/3

1/6 1/6 4/6 = 2/3

2/6 + 4/12 = ⅔

120
 2/8 + 1/6 + 1/12 + 4/24 = 2/3

2/8 + 2/6 + 1/12 = ⅔

1/4 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/12 + 1/24 + 1/24 = 2/3

1/4 + 2/8 + 3/24 = ⅔

1/6 + 1/6 + 1/8 + 1/8 + 1/24 + 1/24 = 2/3

2/6 + 2/8 + 2/24 = 2/3

2/6 + 1/4 + 1/12 = 2/3

1/6 + 1/6 + 1/24 + 1/24 + 1/24 + 1/24 + 1/24 + 1/24 + 1/24 1/24 = 2/3

1 Lesson Plan

Objective List and execute steps in order to construct a triangle given the measures of its three sides.

Material Compass, ruler, Scale, pencil

Required

Previous Using compass

Knowledge

Procedure Teacher will start with a quick recall of how to make an arc:

1. Using their compass students will mark a point on their copies as centre.

2. Students will measure appropriate distance to use as radius on their compass as shown.

3. Keeping the metal point fixed students will use the pencil side of the compass to draw an
arc as shown.

Teacher will let students know how drawing arc is useful in making construction of a triangle
with all sides known to us.
Divide students into pairs and ask them to find a way to make a triangle using arc.
Teacher will start explaining steps of construction:
1. Draw a line which is known as base. The length of the base is equal to one side of the
triangle.

127
 2. Measure the length of second side using compass. Draw an arc with either of the end point of
the base as centre.

3. Measure the length of third side using compass. Draw an arc with the other end of the base
as centre.

4. Join the end points of the base with the intersection of the arc.

Students will get the required triangle.

Q) Construct a triangle with side 11 cm, 6 cm, 8 cm.

Teacher will ask students is it possible to construct a triangle with side 7cm, 7 cm, 15 cm. If no
then what is the underlying logic to make a triangle when 3 sides are known.

Ans: Sum of two side must be greater than the third side.

Suggested Teacher Resources

1 Lesson Plan

Objective: - To compare sizes through usage of cm Square in order to understand the area.
Material Required- Graph, scale, leaf.
Procedure-
 Tell them that the area of a shape refers to the space that it encloses or covers.
 Pose the question: “How does one measure the space occupied (area) by a book? By a leaf? By a circle?” It is
not necessary to use the word regular shape and irregular shape.
 Children may suggest usage of small objects. They could do that. However by this stage they are
already familiar with centimetre as a measure for lengths.
 They also use square ruled notebooks which have cm squares. They can stick some of these papers onto
thick card sheets and cut cm squares to use as a measure for covering these shapes.
 Tell the children that a square that measures one centimetre by one centimetre is a square centimetre.

 Pose the question: “Who has the biggest hand in the class?” Let children draw an outline of their hands and
check the area by filling them in with cm squares. They could also measure the area of their foot. They
could draw the outlines of these on square grid paper. It may also be interesting to find out how much
variation can be there if the same hand is traced in different positions on the square grid paper.

My hand is cm square in size (area).

 As an extension they can do a craft activity of mosaic work with coloured cm squares and create beautiful
motifs and write about them.

12
  At some point it is good to pause and ask: “Does everything have an area?” A discussion about this can
reveal students' understanding and misconceptions about area. It can lead to questions about 3-D
objects, curved spaces. Through discussion, difference between closed shape and open shape, area and
capacity (volume) can be clearly brought out.

 Now do another activity. A transparent grid can be prepared using hard transparent plastic sheet as shown
in Figure to create a cm square grid. A thread frame can also be prepared using a thick cardboard frame
with threads running across in a grid form. Objects can be placed underneath the grid and squares can be
counted.

2 Activity

Objective: To determine areas of larger spaces.

 Discuss with children the need for a larger unit to measure areas of bigger spaces.
 By this stage they may be already familiar with a foot as a measure. Tell the children that a square that
measures one foot on each side is a square foot. They can measure the areas of larger spaces and record
them as square feet or square metres etc. At this point it would be good to have a discussion on length unit
getting converted to square length unit, e.g. cm → sq. cm, matchstick → sq. matchstick, inch → sq. inch
etc.
Materials: Square grid paper of A4 size, two dice

 Each child starts from one end of the sheet as shown in Figure.

 A line is drawn separating the sheet into two equal parts.

12
 Each child throws the two dice and draws a rectangle or square with the numbers that appear.
 They continue to take turns in throwing dice and building more and more rectangles attached to the
previously drawn ones.
 Each child continues to throw the dice and build rectangles as long as there is space on their side even if
the other has stopped.
 At the end they sum the areas of the gaps that arise. The one with the smallest gap area is the winner.

1 LESSON PLAN

Objective- To use the given value of variable(s) in order to evaluate the algebraic expression.
Material Required- Balance with two pans; Different weights: 50gm, 100gm, 500gm.
Procedure -
 The teacher will start the class by introducing the balance and would ask students:

Introduction: Understanding Equilibrium

 The teacher let students place some weights to bring the balance to a level position. Ask them
what would happen if a 100gm weight is removed from the left side pan. How would the balance
look? (Which side will go down?) What should one do to the right side pan to bring the balance to a
level position? Now try adding a 500gm weight to the right side pan. How does the balance look
now? What should be done to the left side pan to bring the balance to a level position? Now halve
the weight on the left side pan of the balance. What needs to be done to the right side of the pan
to bring the balance to a level position? Similarly, try to place three times the weight on one side
and see what needs to be done on the other side.
 Next, the teacher demonstrates the following on the balance and asks students to:

The picture here shows 1 bottle and three 100gm weights on the left-hand side and five 100gm weights on
the right-hand side.
 Then, the teacher poses the question: What do you see on the left-hand side? Do we know the
weight of the bottle? How shall we name its weight?
 Since the students have already been exposed to the idea of using the letter ‘x’ as a variable to
represent an unknown quantity, they will have no difficulty in accepting its usage in this situation.
What do we see on the right hand side? Is the balance in the level position? How do we represent
all this information as an equation?
x + 300 = 500.
What would be the weight of the bottle? Students should be able to give the answer to this
immediately.
x + 300 – 300 = 500 – 300.
Hence, x = 200.
Next, the teacher will demonstrate the following:

13
The picture here shows 2 bottles and three 100gm weights on the left-hand side and seven 100gm weights
on the right-hand side.
How do we represent this information as an equation?
Again, talk about the weight of the bottle as the unknown ‘x’ and help the students to formulate the
equation.

2x + 300 = 700.
What would be the weight of the bottle which is denoted here by x? Students need to internalise that ‘x’
stands for some definite quantity in each situation.
 Some students may be able to figure out an answer to this through mental calculations.
Help them verify their answer by following the procedure of inversion operations as well. The visual aid
helps students in thinking about what can be removed from both the sides

2x + 300 – 300 = 700 – 300 (inverse of addition is

subtraction) Point out that +300 and –300 cancel each other
2x ÷ 2 = 400 ÷ 2 (inverse of multiplication is division)
Hence x = 200

 At the introductory stage, students should use inverse operations as part of their working. At a later
point they may see the equivalence of writing it only on one side as the other side will inevitably
cancel out.
That is, instead of writing 2x + 300 – 300 = 700 – 300 they will write 2x = 700 – 300.
The teacher can do more problems of this kind involving other operations before moving on to the next
level.

ACTIVITY
2

Objective: To show the identity (a + b)2 and (a-b)2

Ask students to take a square paper and fold them along the
two indicated lines. The two different lengths can be labelled
as a and b as shown in Figure 3.
• What is the side of the original square? a + b
• What is the area of the original square? (a + b) 2
• What is the area of the big square? a2
• What is the area of the small square? B2
What is the area of each rectangle? ab,
ab
• What do they all sum up to? a2 + 2ab + b2 Hence (a + b) 2 =
a2 + 2ab + b2

13
 The teacher can also show this on a square dot paper as shown
in Figure 4. (3 + 2)(3 + 2) = 3 × 3 + 3 × 2 + 3 × 2 + 2 × 2
which is (3 + 2)2 = 32 + 2 × 3 × 2 + 22 Again if a = 3 and b
= 2 then (a + b) 2 = a2 + 2ab + b2

Next, For (a-b)2:

This method works for positive numbers a and b, with b < a. Ask students to take a square paper and fold
them along the two indicated lines. The two different lengths can be labelled as a and b as shown in Figure
5

• What is the side of the original square? A

• What is the area of the original square? A2
• What is the length of the portion which is being
cut?
B
• What is the length of the remaining part of
the line? a – b
• What is the area of the square brown portion?
Each of its sides is a – b. Area of the brown square
is (a – b)2

• What is the area of the small yellow square? b2

• What is the area of each outlined rectangle? ab
• Is it possible to remove both these two
rectangles (of size ab)?
Removal of two such rectangles will mean that
b2 will end up being removed twice.
In order to compensate for that we need to put back one b2
Hence (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2

Procedure Opening: Story

In a faraway village a group of children decided to explore their neighbourhood forest. As they
wandered around the forest, they found a box hidden in a hole in a huge tamarind tree. They
took the box out and found that it contained some rare coins. They quickly counted the coins
and found that there were 45 of them, which they divided among themselves equally.

Now ask students to guess how many children there were in the group. Of course, you will
get different answers, as there are several possibilities.

(i) There could have been 3 children and each child could have got 15 coins.
(ii)There could have been 5 children and each child could have got 9 coins.
(iii)There could have been 9 children and each child could have got 5 coins.
(iv)There could have been 15 children and each child could have got 3 coins.
(v) Or there could have been 45 children and each child could have got 1 coin.
Teacher will note down all the possibilities on the board.

Ask them if there are any more possibilities. There are none, right, so point this out. Also tell
them the reason why this is so: it is because the numbers 1, 3, 5, 9, 15, and 45 are the only
numbers that divide 45. These are called the divisors or the factors of 45.

Factorizing numbers
Draw attention to the number 45 again.
Highlight the first possibility, 45=3 x15.
Point out that 15 itself can be broken into factors and written down as 3x5. 45=3x3x5
In other words, the only factors of 3 are 1 and 3 and similarly for 5, its only factors are 1 and 5.
Natural numbers that have exactly two divisors, namely 1 and itself, are called prime numbers
and natural numbers that are the product of at least two prime numbers are called composite
numbers.

Point out that in the above example 45 is written as a product of prime numbers. This is
called factorizing 45 into a product of prime numbers. This can be done for any number.

For example,
100 = 2 x 50 = 2 x 2 x 25 = 2 x 2 x 5 x 5
60 = 2 x 30 = 2 x 2 x 15 = 2 x 2 x 3 x 5
81 = 9 x 9 = 3 x 3 x 3 x 3
210 = 2 x 105 = 2 x 3 x 35 = 2 x 3 x 5 x 7

Factors and multiples

Factorizing is one thing, but one can also do the reverse: one can build up new numbers by
multiplying prime numbers.
Provide examples to the students:

2x3=6

14
14
2 x 2 x 3 x 5 = 60
3 x 3 x 5 x 7 = 315

Let them have some fun computing such combinations on their own. This is where you can also
help students understand the difference (and the relationship) between factors and multiples.
From the
above examples, take the number 60 and ask the children for its factors, putting them down in a
column
on the board (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 20, and 60). Now, in a second column put down the
numbers
that are obtained by multiplying 60 with another number. So you get 120 (60x2), 180 (60x3), 240,
300,
and so on —explain that these numbers are multiples of 60. Let them try this with smaller
numbers. E.g.:
24 (factors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8, 12, and 24; multiples 24, 48, 72, 96, 120, and so on).

Factors to exponents
Now that they know how to build new numbers, get them to do this using the same factors each
time, but in varying numbers.

Ask students to use the prime numbers 2, 3, 5, and 7. What if they used each of these only once?
They would get the number 210.
Now ask them if they can guess (or calculate) what
2 x2x3x3x3x5x5x5x5x5x7x7x7x7x7x7x7 will be.

The answer is a big number having 11 digits: 11117830500. The prime numbers that are the
factors of 11117830500 are 2, 3, 5, and 7—the same
numbers that are the prime factors of 210!
The difference lies in how many times 2, 3, 5, and 7 appear in the factorization of these two
numbers.
In 210, each of them appears only once, whereas in 11117830500, the prime number 2 appears
twice, 3 appears three times, and so on.

Put up the equation on the board and get the students to look carefully at the factorization:
11117830500=2x2x3x3x3x5x5x5x5x5x7x7x7x7x7x7x7

Discuss:
It takes up a lot of space, doesn’t it? More importantly, to find out how many times each prime
number appears in the factorization, its necessary to count them.
Introduce new notation as follows:
11117830500=22x33x55x77
where the small number at the top right showed us how many times a number appears. It’s a
neat way of keeping track of the number of times a prime number appears and saving space too?
Tell students that 22, 33, etc., is read as 2 to the power of 2, 3 to the power of 3 and so on.
11 to the power of 3 will be 113=11x11x11.

Ask students to rewrite the factorization of some numbers:

45= 32x5
100=22x52
60=22x3x5
81=34

Teacher’s Notes: Using the above examples, teachers can get students to understand that prime
numbers are the building blocks from which other numbers are made using repeated
multiplication. Therefore, they are very important in mathematics. The fact that almost every
number can be factored as a product of prime numbers as we have done here was known to the
Greeks even before 300 BC, i.e., 300 years before the birth of Jesus Christ, more than 2300

14
 years ago! Even ancient Greek mathematicians like Pythagoras and Euclid were fascinated by
prime numbers and the factorization of a composite number into its prime factors.

1 Lesson Plan

Objective-SWBAT Identify objects with reflectional and rotational symmetry in order to find its line and order of
symmetry.

Material required-Activity sheet.
Procedure-
 Start with Do Now, students identify the various line symmetries of letters in the alphabet. Use this
simple activity to activate student's prior knowledge of symmetry. They don't have any problem identifying
letters with line symmetry, but they sometimes have difficulty identifying letters with rotational (point)
symmetry when we get to them. After about 3 or 4 minutes, we go over the Do Now as a group. Call
on various students to state their letters. Then ask other students to decide if all of the letters.

Do Now: Group the letters of the alphabet based on their symmetries. Describe the type of symmetry the
letters in each group have. Some letters may fit in more than one category. The use of the boxes below is optional.
If more space is needed, write on the back of the paper.

A B C D E F G H I J K L M

N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z

Letters: Letters:

Description: Description:

Question-:
1. Which letters have vertical line symmetry only?
2. Which letters have horizontal line symmetry only?
3. Which letters have both horizontal and vertical line symmetry?
4. Which letters are asymmetrical?

 Now begin discussion on line symmetry. Tell students, “Another name for line symmetry is reflectional
symmetry. Why do you think it’s called that?” Although students can answer this question, they have
difficulty verbalizing exactly what they are trying to say. Through further questioning, elicit that an object has
reflectional symmetry if there is a straight line passing through the object and dividing it in half where one
side of the shape is the same as the other except it is inverted.
 Next, move on to point symmetry. Ask the students, “Are the letters S, N, and Z symmetrical?” In the Do
Now, it was concluded that these letters do not have line symmetry; however, these letters are
symmetrical. Instruct students to turn their Do Now slip upside down. Students can see that the letters S,
N, and Z look the same upside down as they do right side up. These letters have rotational or point
symmetry. They can be rotated 180o around a point in the center of the letter and look the same. Ask,
“Which other letters have point symmetry?” Students identify H, I, O, and X correctly, but often include
some incorrect letters. Because M becomes W and vice versa when they are rotated 180o about a point in
the middle of the letter, students often think they have point symmetry. Additionally, students also identify
C and E as having point symmetry. To address this misconception, Remind students that the letters must
have the exact same orientation when they are rotated in order to have point symmetry.
 We then go into rotational symmetry more in depth by discussing order and angle of rotation. Students
sometimes have difficulty identifying an object’s order at first, but with practice, they catch on quickly.
 Now show students the cross from the Greek flag. We discuss the reflectional and rotational symmetry of
the cross. The worksheet has similar types of practice examples.

12
 Questions-:
[Link] many lines of symmetry does it have?
[Link] is order and angle of rotation?
 Give students worksheet of the international flags. This helps to give students some context when looking at
the flags.
 As the students are working, Ask guiding questions, such as, “If you fold the paper along the lines of
symmetry you have drawn, do the halves match up?” and “What happens when you turn the paper upside
down?” Some of the examples are a bit tricky. Instruct the students to look carefully.
 After about 15 minutes of working, Stop the students and we go over their responses. Call on students to
come to the board and draw lines of symmetry. We can also see rotational symmetry by actually rotating
the objects.
Reflectional and Rotational Symmetry in International Flags

Below are pictures based on flags from various countries. For each picture:
 Draw all lines of symmetry, if the object has reflectional symmetry.
 Write the order and degree of rotation. Remember, an object without rotational symmetry has an order of
1.

Burundi Uruguay Israel

United States Morocco Hong Kong

South Korea Isle of Man (UK) United Kingdom

 2 Activity

Objective- The students will be able to define symmetry and identify and list examples of symmetrical objects, both
manmade and in nature.

Material Required- Drawing paper, pencils/colored pencils or markers, stapler to use.

Modeling
 Explain to students that many manmade and natural objects are symmetrical.
 Use a couple of symmetrical objects as an example for students.
 Tell students they will be searching for other symmetrical objects throughout the room/school and outdoors.
Guided Practice
 Place students in pairs.
 Distribute drawing paper with coloured pencils, etc. The students will also need something to write on when
moving outside the room.
 Tell students they are to find as many symmetrical objects as possible, make a sketch of each item, and draw
the line of symmetry on each.
 Allow students time inside the classroom, through the school or other indoor location, and outdoors.
 Once completed, the students will organize their drawings in a booklet, stapling the pages together, and
creating a cover page with a title.
 Finally, allow each pair of students to show some of their drawings to the class and to tell why they
are symmetrical. If an object is not symmetrical, allow other students to explain why it is not.
 Display completed booklets in an area for other students and/or visitors to review.
Independent Practice- Give students practice in identifying symmetrical shapes using teacher-created, commercial
worksheets, or Internet resources. Students make drawings of objects at home that are symmetrical, share with the
class the next day.

2 Activity

Helping pupil sort real objects:

Collect together as many objects of different shapes as you can. You will need at least two objects for every pupil.
You could use pictures of shapes from the environment as well.

13
Divide the class into groups of five or six and give each group a selection of objects
Explain what a ‘set’ is – a collection of items with some common features, for example, the class is a ‘set’ of
children, who are all taught by you. This ‘large set’ can be grouped into smaller sets – one example would be a set
of boys, and a set of girls. (You may like to physically separate the pupils into these two sets to illustrate this
point.)
Explain to the groups that they have a set of different objects. You want them to sort these objects into smaller
sets. Ask them the following question: How many different ways can you sort these objects into sets? This makes the
task an open task, so do not specify how many sets or any criteria.
Ask them to explain their reasons for their sorting each set.
As they work, observe them and listen to the discussions they have in their groups, noting carefully what they say.
This will help you find out who has clear ideas and who is still exploring the ideas.
Ask each group to share the different ways they sorted their objects and note the main features on the board.
Next, the idea of the game is to hide some interesting, different things (which are familiar to your pupils) in the
feely bag/box. You could use regular shaped bowls or pots, tools, or even tins of food. A pupil comes to the front
and feels for something in the feely bag/box. He/she doesn’t take the object out or show it to the other pupils.
 Instead, the pupil then thinks very carefully of ways to describe the thing, without mentioning its name.
He/she uses the sense of touch to list and describe observations. At the same time, the pupil has to be quite
scientific/mathematical. He/she has to consider the properties the object is made of. He/she also has to
think carefully about the shape, size and form of the item.
 The student can give hints about the Curved surface, flat surface, edge, vertex, faces

 Each time the pupil makes an observation, another pupil in the class is given a chance to try to work
out what the object is.
 While this is happening, the teacher can act as a scribe (or secretary) and record the observations and the
inferences on the board, or on a large sheet of paper. They list the main points only.
 This carries on until someone actually works out what the item is. Then the item can be pulled out of the
box and is shown to the rest of the class.
 It is important that a little time is spent discussing the accuracy of the observations – mathematical
language skills, the effectiveness of the descriptions, communication skills and the quality of the
inferences.
