Question 1:
1.1 Use examples to explain the difference between a number sentence and an
algebraic expression.
A number sentence is a mathematical statement that includes numbers, operations, and
an equality or inequality symbol. It states a fact or relationship using specific numbers.
For example:
5+3=85 + 3 = 85+3=8
7×4≤307 \times 4 \leq 307×4≤30
An algebraic expression, on the other hand, is a mathematical phrase that can include
numbers, variables (letters that represent unknown values), and operations. It does not
have an equality or inequality symbol. For example:
3x+23x + 23x+2
5y−45y - 45y−4
Examples:
Number Sentence: 4×5=204 \times 5 = 204×5=20
Algebraic Expression: 2x+32x + 32x+3
1.2 Explain how you can use geometric patterns to help learners understand
functions.
Geometric patterns can help learners understand functions by visually demonstrating
how an input relates to an output. For example, if learners see a pattern of shapes
increasing in size or number, they can understand that each step (input) corresponds to
a change in the pattern (output). aNDtranslating this visual pattern into a table of values,
a flow diagram, or a graph, learners can begin to see the relationship between the input
and output as a function.
