g6 Algebra

This document provides an introduction to algebra concepts for 6th grade students. It discusses patterns involving matchsticks and squares, components of algebra like constants, variables, expressions, and coefficients. Examples are given of using variables in common rules for geometry, arithmetic, and properties like commutativity, distributivity, and associativity. Students are instructed to answer questions defining expressions and shown how to solve equations using methods like trial and error, transposing, and practicing sample exercises.

ALGEBRA

GRADE 6; CHAPTER 11
INTRODUCTION
OBSERVE THE FOLLOWING PATTERN:

WHAT DO YOU SEE?

A PATTERN?

A DESIGN?

ANY MATHEMATICAL RELATION?


No. of matchsticks used to make 1st square = 4

No. of matchsticks used to make 2nd square = 7

No. of matchsticks used to make 3rd square = 10

So, the pattern that we observe here is 3n + 1

With this pattern, we can easily find the number of matchsticks required in any number
of squares.
Let us try another pattern:

COMPONENTS OF ALGEBRA
1. CONSTANTS: a quantity or parameter that does not change its value whatever the
value of the variables, under a given set of conditions.
2. VARIABLES: unknown quantities that can change or vary and are represented using the
lowercase letter of the English alphabets.
3. EXPRESSIONS: expressions are mathematical statements that have a minimum of two
terms containing numbers or variables, or both, connected by an operator in between.
4. CO-EFFICIENTS: a number used to multiply a variable.
FORMATION OF AN EXPRESSION
An expression can also be written in words. 

Let us look at a few expressions and their definitions .

ANSWER THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS:


Q1. How do we define 6x + 4y? Q2. How do we express 8 times a?
LET’S PRACTICE SOME QUESTIONS:
EXERCISE 11.1
USE OF VARIABLES IN COMMON RULES
1. GEOMETRY
1. perimeter of square
the perimeter of a square = sum of all sides
= 4 × side
= 4s
thus, p = 4s
here s is variable, so the perimeter changes as the value of side change.
2. perimeter of rectangle
perimeter of rectangle = 2(length + breadth)
= 2 (l + b) or 2l + 2b
thus, p + 2 × (l + b) or 2l + 2b
where, l and b are variable and the value of perimeter changes with the change in l and b.
USE OF VARIABLES IN COMMON RULES
2. ARITHMETIC
1. COMMUTATIVITY OF ADDITION
5+4=9
4+5=9
thus, 5 + 4 = 4 + 5

this is the commutative property of addition of the numbers, in which the result remains the
same even if we interchanged the numbers.
a + b = b + a
here, a and b are different variables.
COMMUTATIVITY OF MULTIPLICATION
8 × 2 = 16
2 × 8 = 16
thus, 8 × 2 = 2 × 8
this is the commutative property of multiplication, in which the result remains the same even if we interchange the numbers.
a × b = b × a
here, a and b are different variables.
3. DISTRIBUTIVITY OF NUMBERS
6 × 32
it is a complex sum but there is an easy way to solve it. it is known as the distributivity of multiplication over the addition of
numbers.
6 × (30 + 2)
= 180 + 12
= 192
thus, 6 × 32 = 192
a × (b + c) = a × b + a × c
here, a, b and c are different variables.
4. ASSOCIATIVITY OF ADDITION

THIS PROPERTY STATES THAT THE RESULT OF THE NUMBERS ADDED WILL REMAIN SAME REGARDLESS OF
THEIR GROUPING.

(A + B) + C = A + (B + C)

WHAT IS AN EQUATION?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=44n7e8r64vq

If we use the equal sign between two expressions then they form an equation.
an equation satisfies only for a particular value of the variable.
the equal sign says that the LHS is equal to the RHS and the value of a variable which
makes them equal is the only solution of that equation.
DIFFERENCE
EXPRESSION EQUATION
SOLUTION OF AN EQUATION
SOLVING EQUATIONS
1.TRIAL AND ERROR METHOD
Find the value of x in the equation 25 – x = 15.
Solution: Here we have to check for some values which we feel can be the solution by putting the value of the variable x and
check for LHS = RHS.
let’s take x = 5
25 – 5 = 15
20 ≠ 15
so x = 5 is not the solution of that equation.
let’s take x = 10
25 – 10 = 15
15 = 15
LHS = RHS Hence, x = 10 is the solution of that equation.
