Option 4 : Percentage

A chess board can be used as an important teaching-learning resource for mathematics in various topics because it contains 64 squares of equal dimensions and measurements moreover the colors of the squares will be white and black alternately. 

  • The concept of fractions can be taught using the chess board because the squares in equal dimensions can be used to explain the concept of numerator and denominator. For example, if 16 squares are taken from the total of 64 squares then the fraction would become 16/64.
  • If the chess board is considered to be the whole surface of a square then e square can be taken as 1 cm and by calculating the side of the square the children can get an idea about the area concept.
  • Congruence can also be explained using the chess board because all the squares will be congruent to each other just differing in colors. Here the properties of squares can be taken and the theory of congruence can be explained to the students.
  • And the other hand the topic of percentage cannot be explained using the chess board because percentage means 100 but the squares on the chess board or less than 100 so children may get confused about the concept.

​Hence Percentage can't be explained using a Chess board.
