Exploring Algebraic Expressions in CIE 8th Grade

Algebra is often looked upon as complicated and scary. I conducted an activity for my 8th graders to deepen the understanding of Factorisation of Algebraic Expressions. The purpose of the game was to solve and factorize the expressions, and match the answers to the right question. The activity was differentiated according to the knowledge level of students and the class was divided the group into three groups namely HOTS, Medium and Easy. This gave an opportunity for everyone to participate and feel accomplished. There were flash cards made by question and answer. The student solved the question and matched the answer to the other flash card until they completely matched all of them. It was a lot of fun while learning.
