Abstract

In this paper, total 312 elementary concepts of `algebraic expression' have been identified and sequenced. Out of these only 181 is found to be considered by National Council of Educational Research and Training (N.C.E.R.T.) and 110 by West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (W.B.B.S.E.) in their prescribed text books. The number of use of these elementary concepts together with their frequency of use in the West Bengal, The Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (C.I.S.C.E.) and Visva-Bharati final examinations have been identified. Two lists of elementary concepts of algebraic expression, one of the three Boards combined and the other only WB.B.S.E. respectively have been done. Afterwards, a test was developed on the identified top 12 elementary concepts of algebraic expression according to the frequency of their use in Madhyamik Pariksha (M.P.) under W.B.B.S.E. The test was then applied on $X^{th}$-Standard 194 students (boys-107, girls-87). The sample was selected randomly from Bengali medium schools of Burdwan district and affiliated to W.B.B.S.E. Several materials and methods have been adopted for the study which are mentioned above.
