Question 1:
1.1 Use examples to explain the difference between a number sentence and an
algebraic expression.
A number sentence is a mathematical statement that includes numbers, operations, and
an equality or inequality symbol. It states a fact or relationship using specific numbers.
For example:
5+3=85 + 3 = 85+3=8
7×4≤307 times 4 leq 307×4≤30
An algebraic expression, on the other hand, is a mathematical phrase that can include
numbers, variables (letters that represent unknown values), and operations. It does not
have an equality or inequality symbol. For example:
3x+23x + 23x+2
5y−45y – 45y−4
Examples:
Number Sentence: 4×5=204 times 5 = 204×5=20
Algebraic Expression: 2x+32x + 32x+3

1.2 Explain how you can use geometric patterns to help learners understand
functions.
