Anyone knows how to solve this Pr. 3 Maths question?


5 erasers + 3 rulers = S$5.05
3 erasers + 6 rulers = S$3.95
2 erasers + 2 rulers = ???

Thanks!

Hi all


I thought only my dd is confused with such statement…I am glad I am not alone as I am also having problem teaching her this sort of questions.

I think we have to move away with getting them to memorise steps or formula and make them understand concepts.

In my workplace which is very international, I see that the caucasians are alot better in their mental calculation than us, Chinese. Somehow, their mind process nos very differently!

I am going to try using "macrononi" to teach Math. I show her the logic of the question by demonstrating the answer using the macrononi and then, test her again with other similar questions and see if she gets the concept. On the other hand, I also feel that English plays a part! For those who have stronger English background, they tend to understand quicker.

Not sure I make sense here…anyone has better ideas, please share.

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, particularly looking at enriching my daughter's English (more on building capabilities in writing a composition - she is P.1) and at the same time, wont mind a boost in her Han Yu Pin Yin too.....

Any other suggestions on building general knowledge or increase creativity would be great too!

Thanks
JJ
