Math - Solving Word Problems

We use the Polya Method when solving word problems.


Understand
Read the word problem at least 2 times and highlight the important information

Plan
At this stage, the students are taught the model drawing method to solve the word problem.
Students draw out the models and decide which operation to use.  
(Note that Model drawing is not the only way to solve word problems.)

Do
Students write down the number statement. Some students may need to do working to get their answer.

Check
Students check if their answer is reasonable and make sense.

Models

Students have learnt the following models:

Part-whole model is usually used when there is addition or removal of items from a group.


Comparison model is used when there are two different items and we are trying to compare them. The word 'than' is often used in such questions.







Math - Multiplication


Students get to use the small bricks to learn Multiplication - groups and number in the groups. They were given questions and they have to solve them by using the bricks and getting them into the correct number of groups and number in the groups.
