Intermediate Math ch1,2
Provide students with common items such as pencils, spoons, and coins. Create a
balance scale using a hanger and cups attached to either end. Present students with
equations to balance, such as (3 spoons + 4 coins) * 2 = ?. Students must manipulate
the items on each side of the balance scale to find the correct answer using
BODMAS.
Give students a simple recipe that includes quantities and costs of ingredients. For
example, a recipe might call for 2 cups of flour, each costing 50 rupees, and 3 eggs at
20 rupees each. Ask students to calculate the total cost of the recipe using
BODMAS. They can work with the ingredients or photos of the ingredients for a
hands-on experience.
Write different numbers, operators, and brackets on paper plates. Have students
arrange the plates on a table to form mathematical expressions and solve them using
BODMAS. This activity allows students to physically move the plates around and
visualize the order of operations.
BODMAS Journey:
Create a path on the floor using masking tape, and mark each segment with a
different mathematical expression. Students walk along the path and solve each
expression using BODMAS before moving to the next segment. This activity
combines movement with math practice

Chapter 2: Multiplication Tables
For example: After 13, skip 13 times again, the following number in line is 26, and so
on. Children sit in a circle and say the first number in the table (e.g 11x1= 11) so the
first child says 11, then the next one has to say 22 and so on.
Multiplication Flowers
Ask children to make multiplication flowers for 1-10 which include 14 petals.
Making these flowers and displaying them in the classroom will help them remember
the tables.

DIY Multiplication Flashcards:
Make multiplication flashcards using index cards or small pieces of paper. On one
side, write a multiplication problem from the tables of 11 to 14 (e.g., 12 x 4). On the
other side, write the correct answer. Encourage the child to decorate the flashcards
with colorful markers or stickers to make them more engaging. Once the flashcards
are ready, play games like "Multiplication Memory" to practice multiplication tables
in a fun way.
Use chalk to draw a hopscotch grid with squares numbered from 11 to 14. Instead of
hopping through the grid sequentially, the child must solve the multiplication
problem on each square before hopping to the next one. For example, if they land on
square 12, they must say "12 times 3 equals" before hopping to the next square.
