SEPERATION OF THE CONCEPT AND CALCULATIONS OF A PROBLEM IN A MATHEMATICS

By
The problem in mathematics always includes a concept and calculation. A student is need to understand calculation and concept of a problem at the same time. It is challenging task for a person who is teaching mathematics because he has to see that student should get understand both calculation and concept.
The student will solve a problem when he aware of calculation and concept. If the student is aware of calculation part and he doesn’t understand concept, he will not solve the problem. In the same way if the student is aware of concept and he doesn’t understand calculation, he will not solve the problem. Since it is understand that student will solve the problem when he aware of concept and calculation.
If the student asking a calculation part while teaching a problem it is again a time consuming task to clear the calculation part. And that student will ask calculation part in every problem. This type of situation will be faced when we teach mathematics.
The above will be explained by taking simple example:
The train is travelling at a speed of 72km/hr. and find time taking to cross a bridge of length 300m. Length of a train is 600m.
We will see the concept and calculation part of problem.
Concept of a problem: what is the distance to be travelled by train to cross the bridge.
Calculation part: conversion of speed into metre/sec, addition, division, multiplication.
Before telling the problems on this concept if we tell all complicated calculations, it is easy to understand the concept of a problem and is able to understand the problem.
So if we revise/explain the calculations part related to a particular chapter before we teach that chapter, later it is very easy to understand the concept of a problem. By telling the calculation part before the starting of a particular chapter we can reduce the burden on a student to understand the problem.
In my opinion  if we follow  above we will get better results in a class room while teaching mathematics.

Average of first n even numbers

By
Even numbers are 2,4,6,8,10,…. Average = sum of elements/ no of elments Now we will see the sum of elements: Sum of first 2 even numbers: 2+4= 6= 2(2+1) Sum of first 3 even numbers: 2+4+6= 12= 3(3+1) Sum of first 4 even  numbers: 2+4+6+8=20= 4(4+1) Sum of first 5 even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10 = 30 = 5(5+1) Sum of first n even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10+. . . . .  n numbers= n(n+1) Now we will see average: Average of first 2 even numbers= (2+4)/2                                                           = 6/2                              ...

sum of even numbers from 2 to 100

By
Even numbers from 2 to 100 Even numbers are 2,4,6,8,10,12,14,16,18,20,22,24,26,28,30,32,34,36,38,40,42,44,46,48,50,52,    54, 56,58,60,62,64,66,68,70,72,74,76,78,80,82,84,86,88,90,92,94,96,98,100. Now we will see the sum of elements: Sum of first 2 even numbers: 2+4= 6 The above can be written as Sum of first 2 even numbers: 2+4= 6= 2x3=2(2+1) Sum of first 3 even numbers: 2+4+6= 12= 3(3+1) Sum of first 4 even  numbers: 2+4+6+8=20= 4(4+1) Sum of first 5 even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10 = 30 = 5(5+1) Sum of first n even numbers: 2+4+6+8+10+. . . . .  n numbers= n(n+1) Sum of  even numbers from 2 to 100 = 2+4+6+8+10+. . . . .  50 numbers                                                                           = 50(50+1)           ...

how many times a day do the minute and hour hands of a clock form a straight line but in opposite direction

By
For this I am not writing any formula , simply  with the help of table we will try to understand the concept. the minute and hour hands of a clock form a straight line but in opposite direction 1 Between 12.30 to 12.35 2 Between 1.35 to 1.40 3 Between 2.40 to 2.45 4 Between 3.45 to 3.50 5 Between 4.50 to 4.55 6 Between 5.55 to 6.00  : means at 6.00 clock they are straight but opposite @ Between 6.00 to 6.05 hands are not straight in opposite direction 7  Between 7.05 to 7.10 8 Between  8.10 to 8.15 9 Between  9.15 to 9.20 10 Between  10.20 to 10.25 11 Between  11.25  to 11.30                  #  goto step 1 @ in 6 th column if we see in 5 to 6 hours and 6.00 to 7.00 hours t...
