Heyya jedamum,


There is another one >Teaching Pre-school Maths thread started
by berriestan. Checkmate method should be okay in P1 Math.
But pre-prepz for P1 Math can go under the abovementioned
thread.

Chief, whaddya thoughts?
Direct me to what you decide to be a more appropriate
thread to contribute to. I’ll go with the flow.

Tks for the observation jedamum.

Hi


Could someone help to demonstrate the step by step answer to the following question?

I have three numbers. They add up to 10. One of the number is 2 more than te first. The third number is 3 more than the second. What are the numbers?

Thanks for the help!

Hi

I will solve it this way but is there a more simplified way for P1? In the first place, can they understand? I am going to ask my daughter.

First No = ?
Second No = ? + 2
Third No = ? + 2 + 3

Add all the additional numbers 2 + 2 + 3 gives you 7.

The remaining number for the 3 numbers must be 10 - 7 = 3, so, the number has to be 1. The three number would be 1, 3 and 6.

Is this correct?

Hi ryankwek


This is the method I use.

1. 5 is 1 less than _
I teach my kids to close the number that comes before \"the less than\" or \"more than\". For this eg, he will need to close number 1. He will then read it as 5 is less than _____. If he understands concept more or less, he should know that the blank should be filled with bigger number. Since the answer must be a bigger number, he needs to add instead of minus.

2. _ is 1 less than 3
Close the number before the less than again. The question will read as what is less than 3. The blank must me a number smaller than 3. So must minues in order to get smaller number.

Hope this will help.

Thanks EN for the good tips. I have this problem getting my P1 to understand the concept too...

Arigartor!
