Algebra Change of Subject 2

In the previous lesson, you have uncovered the implication of 'change of subject' and the processes involved.

Task 1
collaborative work

using TI-Nspire to

build your foundation on the key concept using examples presented in a collaborative environment.






========================================================
Task 2
Pair work

based on the activity in task 1, reflect on the processes involved and write it down on your worksheet 5.
Identify at least 2 points for consideration for 'Change of Subject'.
You may discuss with a partner in class.
Submit this at the end of the lesson.

reference:
Worksheet 5, ACE learning.

========================================================
Task 3
individual work

Extension of understanding on Change of Subject

Identify a formula in other subject areas (other than Mathematics)
- define which subject area the formula is applied and what the formula is about
- define all the variables used
- identify a variable (other than the one presented) to make a subject.
(ensure that this is possible)
[post this as a comment - do not include your solution[

example:
Subject: Physics
This formula is about the motion (movement) of an object
v = u + as
v - final velocity
u - initial velocity
a - acceleration of object
s - displacement
Question:
Make a the subject of the formula.

    Arithmetics Error - division
    transfer error - plus/minus sign

  2. Task 2
    transfer error - positive/negative indication
    arithmetics error - division of the incorrect terms

  3. 1) Try to avoid arithmetic errors such as failing to multiply or divide correctly, resulting in deriving the wrong answer.
    2) When carrying signs (+,- etc.) to the other side of the equals to sign, change the symbols

    Done with Ada.

  4. Subject: Physics and Astronomy
    This formula is about the amount of energy is the amount of mass a body has.
    E = mc^2
    E - Energy
    m - Mass
    c - Speed of light

    Question:
    c=√E/m

  5. 1) There is an error about the misconception that x+4=q (q) is actually q+4=x.
    2) The second error is actually an error about dividing error of incorrect terms

  6. Arithmetic error-division
    Transfer error-forgot to change the sign when transferring to the other side.
    (Done with Kang Xiong)

    E=mc^2

    E=energy
    m=mass
    c=speed of light

  7. Task 2:
    Arithmetic error division of the wrong terms
    Transfer error: plus/minus sign is confused

    Task 3
    Geography
    R/r
    R=Rise
    r=run

  8. Task 2 (Sylvia)
    Transfering error - negative and positive places

    ReplyDelete
  9. Task 2
    Arithmetic errors like the incorrect division and the wrong results from a certain equation as well as errors such as transferring of wrong signs as well as positive and negative signs.

  12. Task 2

    When dividing, make sure that you also divide the other side of the statement.

    When transferring subjects, make sure that you change the signs.

  13. Transfer errors. (-) Negative and (+) Positive.
    Arithmetics Error. Division, Multiplication, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  14. Errors:
    Transferal Error: For example: x=3b+4
    x+3b=4 (When the person transferred 3 over, he forgot to switch the sign to minus.)

    Arithmetic Error: Some people are just careless and does some of the operations wrongly.

  16. Task 2
    Done with Jasmine
    1) Miscopied
    2) Left out alphabets
    3) Forgot to multiply/divide
    4) Wrong usage of signs
    5) Moving mistake, instead of +/- becomes the other way around

  17. Adil, Mateen, Kenneth
    2 Considerations/Errors:
    1. Arithmetic error, eg. Forgot to divide both sides by the same value
    2. Transfer error, eg. + was not converted to - when changed sides

    Crossover:
    1) + ➔ -
    2) - ➔ +
    3) × ➔ ÷
    4) ÷ ➔ ×

    Remember to factorize and group like terms, it helps
