Abstract

In this paper, three activities, including illustrations on ‘Acquaintance with terms and types of algebraic expressions, have been developed and presented sequentially for the target group, i.e. the learners, considering their ages, grades and ability levels. The collection of textbooks, analysis of textbooks/textbook scanning, developing the activity, sequencing of steps of the activity and experts’ opinions are the materials and methods which have been adopted for this study. These activities, including their illustrations, are more meaningful and logical in comparison to the activities presented in the textbooks of mathematics by the West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (W.B.B.S.E.) and National Council of Educational Research and Training (N.C.E.R.T.) All these activities have also been developed by the researcher with a new look. All these activities will definitely help the learners to get the relish for learning the acquaintance with terms and types of algebraic expressions.

Keywords
