SUMMER HOLIDAY HOMEWORK CLASS – X

Dear students

It's time for your holidays to begin. This semester was extraordinary. Could we ever have imagined that e- learning would become a way of life? I'm sure all of you are missing school- your friends, teachers and all the fun. But it is commendable how quickly you have adapted to the new way of learning.

Most of you have been attending the online classes seriously and been regular with your work. Trust me, this is the only way forward. Teachers are evaluating you on the basis of your attendance, interaction in class and regularity of work.

During these holidays, we want you to reduce your screen time and focus on your health and take a much needed break. Devote some time to your studies and put the rest to constructive hobbies, yoga, and some physical activities.

Come back refreshed, happy and rested. Stay home, Stay safe.

Happy Holidays!!

CH- LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES.

ACTIVITY . NO -1

Objective To verify the conditions for consistency of a system of linear equations in two variables by graphical representation.

Prerequisite Knowledge

1. Plotting of points on a graph paper. 2. Condition of consistency of lines parallel, intersecting, coincident,

Materials Required Graph papers, fevicol, geometry box, cardboard.

Procedure Consider the three pairs of linear equations 1stpair: 2x-5y+4=0, 2x+y-8 = 0 2nd pair: 4x + 6y = 24, 2x + 3y =6 3rd pair: x-2y=5, 3x-6y=15

1. Take the 1st pair of linear equations in two variables, e.g., 2x – 5y +4=0, 2x +y-8 = 0.

2. Obtain a table of at least three such pairs (x, y) which satisfy the given equations.

��

Subject: Mathematics

3. Plot the points of two equations on the graph paper as shown in fig. (i).

4. Observe whether the lines are intersecting, parallel or coincident. Write the

values in observation table. Also, check ;

5. Take the second pair of linear equations in two variables

6. Repeat the steps 3 and 4.

��

7. Take the third pair of linear equations in two variables,i.e. x-2y=5, 3x-6y=15

8. Repeat steps 3 and 4

Obtain the condition for two lines to be intersecting, parallel or coincident from the observation table by comparing the values of

Observation Students will observe that

1. for intersecting lines,

2. for parallel lines,

3. for coincident lines, Result The conditions for consistency of a system of linear equations in two variables is verified

ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION.

ACTIVITY- NO-3

Objective To verify that the given sequence is an arithmetic progression by paper cutting and pasting method.

Arithmetic Progression A sequence is known as an arithmetic progression (sequence) if the difference between the term and its predecessor always remains constant.

Prerequisite Knowledge Understanding the concept of an arithmetic progression.

Materials Required Coloured papers, a pair of scissors, fevicol, geometry box, sketch pens, drawing sheets.

Procedure

1. Take a given sequence of numbers say A1, A2, A,… 2. Cut a rectangular strip from coloured paper of width 1 cm and length A, cm. 3. Repeat the procedure by cutting rectangular strips of same width 1 cm and

lengths A,, A3…cm. 4. Take a graph paper and paste these rectangular strips adjacent to each other

in order on graph paper. [A] Consider a sequence 1, 4, 7, 10, 13.

1. Take different colour strips of lengths 1 cm, 4 cm, 7 cm, 10 cm, 13 cm and all of the same width 1 cm (say).

2. Arrange and paste these strips in order on a graph paper as shown in fig. (i). [B] Consider a sequence 1, 4, 8, 10, 11.

1. Take different colour strips of lengths 1 cm, 4 cm, 8 cm, 10 cm, 11 cm and all of the same width 1 cm (say).

��

2. Arrange and paste these strips in order on a graph paper as shown in fig. (ii).

Observation We observe from fig(i) that the adjoining strips have a common difference in heights i.e. 3 cm and a ladder is formed in which the adjoining steps are constant. Hence it is an arithmetic progression. In fig (ii) the adjoining strips don’t have a common difference in heights and thus the adjoining steps of ladder are not constant. Hence it is not an arithmetic progression.

Result Sequence [A] is an AP because common difference between the term and its predecessor remains constant. Sequence [B] is not an AP because common difference between the term and its predecessor does not remain constant.

ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION.

ACTIVITY- NO-4

Objective To verify that the sum of first n odd natural numbers, 1 +3 + 5+ … + (2n— 1) = n by paper activity.

Prerequisite Knowledge

1. Natural numbers (i.e. counting numbers e.g., 1, 2, 3, 4, …)

2. Odd natural numbers (Natural numbers which are not divisible by 2 i.e. 1, 3, 5, …)

3. Even natural numbers (Natural numbers which are divisible by 2 i.e. 2, 4, 6,…)

4. Formula to find the n ‘ term of an AP i.e., an = a+ (n—1) d where a is the first term, d is the common difference, n is the no. of terms

5. For odd natural numbers 1,3,5,…, n term is an =1 + (n— 1). 2 = (2n— 1)

6. Area of squares. Materials Required Squared papers, sketch pens, pencil, a pair of scissors, geometry box, fevicol, white drawing sheets

Procedure

1. Take a squared chart paper of size n units X n units (Take n— 9).

2. Paste it on a white sheet.

��

3. Colour the internal squares with different 9 colours as shown in the fig. (i).

4. Put a black dot on each of the internal coloured squares as shown in fig.(ii)

Observation

Result The sum of first n odd natural numbers is n i.e., 1 + 3 + 5 + 7 + … + (2» —1) = n2
