Learning objectives

You will discover the methods of writing the data of the content of the task in a form of algebraic expression or equation.

Learning effect

  • You write the information and the data of the content of the task in a form of algebraic expression or equation.

  • You solve the equations with one unknown.

  • You use English to describe the algebraic expressions and the method of solving the equations with one unknown.

Prepare the box of the matches for the lesson.

Revise the material about the algebraic expressions and the equations.

Today you are going to write the algebraic expressions and equations concerning the natural numbers and the figures drawn or made of the matches.

nagranie abstraktu

Write the algebraic expression describing the following:

a. the natural number divided by 3,
b. the sum of two subsequent natural numbers divided by 3,
c. the odd number,

a. The sum of three subsequent even natural numbers equals 228. What are the numbers? Rearrange the appropriate equation and solve it.

b. The sum of four subsequent natural odd numbers equals 376. What are these numbers? Rearrange the appropriate equation and solve it.

Task 4

nagranie abstraktu

a. Make four squares in the presented way. How many matches will you need?

b. Make five squares in the presented way. How many matches will you need?

c. Write the algebraic expression describing the number of matches you need to construct n number of the squares.
Hint: Note, that to make any new square you need three matches (the fourth side belongs to the next square). We have to add another match when we want to finish our puzzle.

d. How many matches should be used to construct a hundred of squares in such a way?

Task 6
RqBHhnDIxg6Hq
nagranie abstraktu

a. Make a polygon using five matches.

b. Add the matches in such a way the polygons you have made have the common side. Make the second and the third figure using that method. How many matches do the figures consist of?

c. Write down the algebraic expression describing the number of matches used to construct the n number of polygons.

d. Which figure will be made of 45 matches?

Task 7

An extra task:

R1DyIHNeL99zD
nagranie abstraktu

Find out on the Internet the information about the square numbers and their geometric interpretation.

a. Calculate the sum of the fifth, the seventh and the ninth square number.
b. Write down the algebraic expression describing the sum of two subsequent square numbers.

nagranie abstraktu
  • The even natural number can be described by using the algebraic expression 2n, where n means any natural number.

  • The odd natural number can be described by using the algebraic expression 2n + 1,where n means any natural number.
