To solve for the kiwi or for any fruit, those are the logical steps to solve for the value. If we know the total is 10, and the known values are two oranges which equal to 2 each, than we subtract that from the total, to get the number value of kiwi.

Preparation:

Set up the XO computer with Produce Puzzle activated. Then choose Level 1 (Easy)

Goals

Goals is to understand what algebra does and why it is useful. The idea that the student can create an equation that to solve the value for each fruit. Using symbols of fruits allows student to determine that the value is consistant throughout.

Objectives

Using simple algebra, if the student see 2 different types of fruits two oranges and kiwi the student can determine that 2Oranges+1Kiwi=10. With one of the fruits value already given, the student can calculate how much is the missing fruit

Vocabulary

Add, Subtract, multiply

Instruction

For the first line:

  1. Count how many Fruits of each kind are in that row equals to the number on the end
    1. 2Orange+1Kiwi=10
  2. If the given value for the fruit Orange is 2, we can determine the kiwi
    1. 2(2) +kiwi=10
    2. 4+kiwi=10
    3. Kiwi=10-4
    4. Kiwi=6

Rationale

Objectives

Using simple algebra, if the student see 2 different types of fruits two oranges and kiwi the student can determine that 2Oranges+1Kiwi=10. With one of the fruits value already given, the student can calculate how much is the missing fruit. If the student moves to the next problem, the values of each fruit is not the same anymore. The values of each fruit is different. Therefore, the total output at the end is different.

  1. Count how many Fruits of each kind are in that row equals to the number on the end
    1. 2Orange+1Kiwi=10
  2. If the given value for the fruit Orange is 2, we can determine the kiwi
    1. 2(2) +kiwi=10
    2. 4+kiwi=10
    3. Kiwi=10-4
    4. Kiwi=6

Second problem:

  1. Count how many Fruits of each kind are in that row equals to the number on the end
    1. 5Orange+4Kiwi=80
  2. If the given value for the fruit Orange is 6, we can determine the kiwi
    1. 5(6) +4kiwi=80
