method
A. Warm-up Session
Begin the class by narrating the history of cubes and cube roots.
Tell your students that the method for finding the cube root of
large numbers was known to the great Indian mathematician
Aryabhata. This method is explained in ‘Ganitapada’, the
mathematical section of the ‘Aryabhatiya’. The following verse in
‘Ganitapada’ explains the method.
Also, tell them the interesting fact that the Sanskrit word
‘Ghhana’ for ‘cube’ has two meanings, just like the word ‘cube’ in
modern mathematics. ‘Ghhana’ means the number multiplied by
itself three times as well as the 3-dimensional cubical structure.
After the warm-up session, play all modules in TeachNext.

A. Warm-up Session
Begin the lesson with a quiz activity. You can include questions
that will help students recall the prior learning of algebraic
expressions.
You can ask the students to give the examples of simple
algebraic expressions and then identify the terms in the
expression and the factors in the terms. Also, ask the students
to identify if a given expression is a monomial, binomial or
trinomial.
Additionally, you can hold a quiz on algebraic identities. The
LHS of an identity can be given and the students can be asked
to write the RHS. Then, talk about the aim of factorisation, which
is to reduce something to its basic building blocks and includes
factorising numbers to prime numbers or polynomials to
irreducible polynomials.
B. Chit Activity
In this activity, students need to factorise algebraic expressions.
Teacher’s Notes
Divide the class into a few groups and prepare chits with
algebraic expressions written on them (one expression on each
chit). Also, mention the method (identifying common factors or
regrouping the terms) to be used by the students to factorise the
expressions. Now, present the chits to a group and ask any
student from the group to pick up a chit and write the expression
on the board. His/her group needs to solve the expression using
the method mentioned on the chit. Carry out the activity with
other groups as well.
C. Flashcard Activity
In this activity, students need to factorise algebraic expressions
using appropriate identities.
Teacher’s Notes
Divide the class into a few groups and prepare flashcards with
algebraic expressions written on them. Write an expression on
each card. Now, show a card to a group and ask a student from
the group to identify the algebraic identity that can be used to
factorise the expression.
Thereafter, the same student should write the expression and
the identity on the board and factorise the expression using the
identity. Continue the activity with other groups.

You can also tell the students about the history of the probability
theory. The concepts of probability have been in practice over
thousands of years. However, probability emerged as a

A. Warm-up Session
Begin the class by asking the students the following puzzle:
If 5 cats can catch 5 mice in 5 days, how many days will 3 cats
take to catch 3 mice?
Tell the students that they cannot use a paper and a pen to
solve the puzzle. They must find the answer by doing the
calculation in their minds. Most likely, many of them would
provide the answer ‘3 days’. Although this answer is the obvious
choice of many other people presented with this puzzle, it is the
incorrect answer.
At this point, explain the concepts of direct proportion and
inverse proportion. Then, go back to the puzzle. Explain that the
cat-mice puzzle is the example of inverse proportion. If you have
fewer cats, they will take more time to catch the mice. Tell them
that the answer of the puzzle is ‘5 days’. That is, 3 cats would
catch 3 mice in 5 days. Explain the answer by the step-by-step
calculation.
B. Direct or Inverse?
In this activity, students will find out if the given proportion is
direct or inverse. They will also solve a few examples involving
the direct and inverse proportions.
Teacher’s Notes
Make chits with questions involving either the direct proportion
or the inverse proportion. Divide the class into two groups and
ask a student from each group to select a chit for his/her group.
The students in the group need to identify if the given question
is based on the direct proportion or the inverse proportion. They
also need to provide the explanation for their answer.
Thereafter, they need to calculate the answer to the question.
Provide scores to the teams and continue the activity till all the
chits are exhausted.
C. Game of Shadows
In this activity, students will calculate the height of the shadow
by studying the proportion.
Teacher’s Notes
Place a projector or a light source on the ground in the
classroom or lab. The light source should be facing the wall and
should be placed at the distance of 20 feet from the wall.
Between the light source and the wall, make markings at the
length of every 1 foot. Then, place a chalk at the distance of 10
feet from the light source, so that it casts its shadow on the wall
as shown in the figure.
Then, ask a student to measure the height of the shadow. Now,
ask all students to guess what would happen if the chalk is
moved towards the light source and away from it. Verify their
answers by moving the chalk towards and away from the light
source by 1 foot.
Now, place the chalk at the distance of one foot from the light
source and measure the height of the shadow. Then, move the
chalk away from the light source by another foot and measure
the height of the shadow. Keep moving the chalk by a foot and
each time measure the height of its shadow.
Continue to take such measurements till you reach midway from
the wall. Ask the students to calculate the proportion between
the distance of the chalk from the light source and the height of
its shadow. Now, ask them to estimate the height of the shadow,
based on the calculated proportion, if we keep moving the chalk
away from the light source. Verify the estimated height by
actually moving the chalk and measuring the height of the
shadow.

graphs, one each for the directly proportional quantity and the
