EXPLORING HOW MEANINGS ARE MADE IN MATHEMATICS: SIMULTANEOUS LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO UNKNOWNS CUHKFAA Chan Chun Ha Secondary School Mr. Lai Yat To & Miss Ho Suk Yin 1

SCHOOL & STUDENTS BACKGROUND CMI school Form 3 students Enrichment Class Lesson conducted in English 2

MAKING MEANING IN MATHEMATICS Language e.g. questions, interaction with students and teacher Visual representation diagrams, graphs and pictures Mathematical symbolism symbol 3

LANGUAGE Nominal Group 4

NOMINAL GROUP Nominal groups are built up around a key noun. Making meaning through nominal group Understanding definitions Understanding the meaning in mathematical problems 5

UNDERSTANDING DEFINITIONS Definitions are constructed through the nominal group 6 Word being defined A decimal point The perimeter of a closed figure Polygons relating process = is are class or generalisation a mark a measurement closed plane figures [embedded clause or phrase] particular part which separates the whole number part from the fractional part of the distance around the boundary of the figure with line sides which do not cross over themselves

S TRATEGIES FOR SOLVING MATHEMATICAL WORD PROBLEMS Read a question in a systematic way In between the “.” or “and” there would be a piece of information Every piece of information may be represented in a symbolic way Focus on some important words or phrases in order to write an equation How to find keywords for mathematical word problems? 7

UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING IN MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS Identify the keywords in the problems through nominal group Find the area of a circle with radius 2 cm. Remarks: [nominal groups are indicated in red and the key noun in each nominal group is underlined] 8 Mathematical operation Find Answer the area Mathematical context of a circle Data with radius 2 cm.

4 T YPES OF T YPICAL Q UESTIONS IN S IMULTANEOUS L INEAR E QUATIONS Linear problems Numbers & Digits problems Age problems Time, Speed, Distance problems 9

TEACHING AND LEARNING CYCLE Setting the context Teacher modelling and deconstructing Teacher and students constructing jointly Students construction independently 10

LINEAR PROBLEMS Language: The total cost of 4 apples and 3 oranges is $23, while the total cost of 7 apples and 4 oranges is $34. How much does each apple and orange cost? Visual representation Mathematical symbol total cost of 4 apples and 3 oranges is $23 total cost of 7 apples and 4 oranges is $34 11 Total cost of apples ($)Total cost of oranges ($)Total cost ($) number of apples cost of an apple ($) number of oranges cost of an orange ($) 4 x 3 y 23 7 x 4 y 34

UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING IN MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS Numbers problem The sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 8. Find the two numbers. Digits problem The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 8. If we exchange the positions of the two digits, the number obtained is greater than the original number by 36. Find the original number. Remarks: [nominal groups are indicated in red and the key noun in each nominal group is underlined] 12

SENTENCE PATTERN 1. The sum of x and y 2. The difference of x and y (for x > y) 3. The product of x and y 4. Three times x 13 Language  Mathematical Symbol x + y x – y x x y 3 x x

S ENTENCE P ATTERN 5. x is greater than y by c ( x is c greater than y ) 6. x is smaller than y by c (x is c smaller than y) 7. The two digit number (unit digit: x, tens digit: y ) 14 x = y + c x = y – c 10 y + x Language  Mathematical Symbol

UNDERSTANDING THE MEANING IN MATHEMATICAL PROBLEMS Numbers problem The sum of two numbers is 40 and their difference is 8. Find the two numbers. Digits problem The sum of the digits of a two-digit number is 8. If we exchange the positions of the two digits, the number obtained is greater than the original number by 36. Find the original number. Let the unit digit be x and tens digit be y Remarks: [nominal groups are indicated in red and the key noun in each nominal group is underlined] 15

A GE P ROBLEMS Language: Ten years ago, a father’s age was four times his son’s. Ten years later, the father’s age will be twice his son’s. How old are they now? Visual representation Mathematical symbol father’s age was four times his son’s father’s age will be twice his son’s 16 YearSon’s ageFather’s age Nowxy Ten years agox-10y-10 Ten years laterx+10y+10

TIME, SPEED, DISTANCE PROBLEMS 17 Towards each other 15 km meet after half an hour EricAmy Visual Representation 0.5 x km0.5 y km Mathematical Symbol 0.5x + 0.5y =15 Language Eric and Amy are riding bicycles and they are 15 km apart. If they go towards each other, they will meet after half an hour. If they travel in the same direction, Eric will catch up with Amy after 3 hours. Find their speeds.

TIME, SPEED, DISTANCE PROBLEMS 18 In the same direction 15 km side by side after 3 hours Eric Amy Visual Representation 3 x km 3 y km Mathematical Symbol 3x – 3y = 15 Language Eric and Amy are riding bicycles and they are 15 km apart. If they go towards each other, they will meet after half an hour. If they travel in the same direction, Eric will catch up with Amy after 3 hours. Find their speeds.

SHARING Feedback from students Applications to the other forms S1 Bridging Course S4 Topic: Solving Quadratic Equations in One Unknown 19

SECONDARY 1 (BRIDGING COURSE) Language  Mathematical Symbol Addition The sum of 3 and 9  plus 9 Subtraction The difference between 13 and 5  13 – 5 5 is subtracted from minus 5 Multiplication The product of 2 and 7  2 x 7 Multiply 2 by 7 2 times 7 Division 30 is divided by 6  30 ÷ 6 Divide 30 by 6 20

SECONDARY 1 (BRIDGING COURSE) Integration 1. 5 is subtracted from 3 times y 2. The sum of p and q is multiplied by x times 5, and then multiply the difference by y 4. Divide the sum of 3 times a and 4 times b by the sum of a and b 5. Subtracted y from the product of x and one-fourth of z 6. Multiply h by 2 and then divide the product by k to the power of 3 21

SECONDARY 4 (SOLVING QUADRATIC EQUATIONS IN ONE UNKNOWN) Language  Mathematical Symbol The sum of the square of x & y  x 2 + y 2 The square of the sum of x & y  (x + y) 2 22
