I. Use this mind-map ‘Algebra’ as a topic activator to speak about Algebra (its origin and some facts from its history)

II. Match each numerical expression in the left column with the equivalent expression in the right column

1. The sum of twenty-eight and ninety	a) 8(72 + 12)
2. The product of six and ten squared	b) 28 + 90
3. Eight times the quantity, seventy-two plus twelve	c) 6(10 )
4. The cube of twenty-four, minus six	d) (22 + 11)
5. The quantity, twenty- two plus eleven	e) 24 - 6

2. Look at the expressions written in words and write them in mathematical notation (in symbols)

The difference x minus y is greater than the sum of a and b
Three times 17 is less than seven x.
Seventeen x is not equal to negative twenty-one x
Four hundred and twenty nine plus sixteen x is greater than y
Twice the quantity, sixteen plus eleven is equal to a plus b

III. Read the following inequalities aloud. Your partner will check your answers

21< -3 + x

4 – x > 13

4a – 2 + 2 < 9 + 2

2x + 7 + (-7) > 11 + (-7)

7a -2< 3a + 9

I. Mind-map ‘Geometry’. Use this map to speak about geometry (its meaning, the history of its development, its application). Add more information you know

II. Working with geometric terms. Demonstrate your knowledge of geometric terms. Work in pairs (a/b)

Find as many geometric terms as possible (written vertically, horizontally and diagonally) to make sure you know terms. Pronounce them correctly. B will listen to A and correct him/her

III. Getting Ready to Solve Word Problems. Use a diagram to represent the problem

Listen as your partner reads the problem below. While listening to it, draw the diagram and then label the parts of it so as to represent the word problem. You don’t need to solve the problem! All you need to do is to draw, to label the diagrams for the following problems and then to re-read the problem according to your drawn diagram. Your partner will check. He/she can help you.

1. What is the area in square feet of the floor measuring 90 feet by 60 feet?

2. Find the area of this circle with a radius of 6 ft

3. How much fencing is needed to enclose a soccer field measuring 500 meters by 200 meters?

4. Find the length of the base of the right triangle if the hypotenuse is 46mm and the other side is 37mm

5. Find the volume of this solid measuring 2 inches x 2 inches x 6 inches

IV. Demonstrating comprehension by listening to instructions and drawing a picture. Explain what you have drawn

Draw a large circle in the centre of the page. Below this, draw a square which is about half the width of the circle and the same distance from the circle. Draw a line to connect the top, right corner of the square with the far right edge of the circle.

Now do the same on the left side. In the top right corner of the page, there is a smaller circle. Three short lines are pointing away from the circle, but not touching it. What have you drawn?
