The students of grades 6 and 7 engaged in a Tuning In session for their Form Day centred around fostering an attitude of inclusion within our community in the first week of December 2023. The theme for  the form day this year is Diversity, Equity, Justice, and Inclusion.

Objective of Learning Engagement:  Understanding of Key words in Algebra - Variables, Terms, Algebraic Expressions, Like Terms and Combining the Like Terms. Details of Learning Engagement: Students were given cutouts of 2 -3 different colours and asked to group them as per their colours. While grouping in different colours they were explained the key word - variables. They then counted the number of cutouts of each colour to understand how to write an Algebraic Expression as a combination of numerical numbers and variables. (Eg 3b + 5r where b and r represent blue and red respectively) This led them to the keyword Terms - Like Terms and Unlike Terms. Followed by Combining of the like terms. Impact of the engagement on students and reflection as a teacher: This hands-on activity with their shoulder partner helped them get introduced to the Keywords of Algebra. It was easy for them to relate to and understand the need for studying algebra. They were engaged while collaborating and took t
