 Teaching Learning Process
Induction/Introduction: (Generating interest, informing students about the outcomes and expectations for the
lesson)
• Showing different situations which involve natural , whole ,integers and Rational numbers
• Conduct the activities on integers and Rational numbers using number line and pictorial representations
to create interest
• Explain the importance of properties of operations on rational numbers by Real life examples.

Experience and reflections(Task/question that helps students explore the concept and connect with their life)
Students recall the knowledge of Natural numbers, Whole numbers, Integers and fractions
Students verify the result of operations of +,-+x,÷ with sets of numbers
Students explain the rational numbers
Students represent the integers/rational number on number line
Draw a diagram shows that 𝐍 ⊂ 𝐖 ⊂ 𝐙 ⊂ 𝐐

• Activity – Chit game

• Recapitulation of definition of
Rational number and the four
fundamental operations on
Rational numbers
( it contain small problems on
fundamental operations on
Rational numbers
Example : 2/3 +4/5 , ½ x ¾ etc
Each student choose one chit and
he explain the problem on the
board.
Teacher will help the student if
necessary.
• To check properties of rational
numbers under mathematical
• Work sheet on operations the students should
fundamental have good enough practice of
operations on Rational +,- , x, ÷ on Rational numbers

Activity
Presentations on Properties
In this activity, groups of students
will deliver presentations on
different properties of rational
numbers. Teacher Divide the class
into five groups and assign the Students can use chart papers or PPT
following properties to the groups: for their presentation ( ICT)
Closure,Commutative, Associative, Work sheet
Additive and multiplicative
identities , inverse and distributive
properties Ask the students to
explain the properties using
examples. Since the presentation is
very comprehensive more than
one student can be asked to
present it.

Representation of Rational numbers
on the Number Line
Rational numbers between two
rational numbers
we get countless rational numbers
between any two given rational
numbers
(Group activity)
Draw a number line on the floor or
ground or use string as a number line
.Just mark the integers
And ask the students to pick the
rational number cards from a box and
fix it at the right place on the number
line string. This can be played
between teams and team which fixes
more numbers of cards correctly or
by marking will be the winner. • Exercise 1.2
Problems 1,2,
Method-1
5 rational numbers between -1,3
-10/10 and 30/10
Thus we have -10/10, -9/10,-8/10,
-7/10,…………,29/10,30/10
Method-2 Exercise1.2
Rational Number between a and b Problems3,4,5,6and 7

2. Write multiplicative inverse of 0.9
3. Located on the banks of the river Varaha in Vishakhapatnam district of
AP is a small village called Etikoppaka. Made in the Etikoppaka region of Andhra Pradesh, these toys are made
with lacquer color and are traditionally known as Etikoppaka toys or
Etikoppaka Bommalu. The village is very famous for its toys made of wood.
The toys are also called as lacquer toys because of application of lacquer
coating. Ravi Sankar has ₹ 250/-in his pocket .he wanted to buy the
Etikoppaka Bommalu. Shopkeeper gave a large discount and offered the
following prices for Ravi Sankar. Ravi sankar bought all 5 toys each one.
After shopping ,the remaining balance he had is..
