Student readiness to learn is vital to learning success. In the readiness phase of learning, teachers prepare students so that they are ready to learn. For example, younger students may like contexts such as stories and songs, and play-based activities such as games, whereas older students may appreciate contexts related to everyday life so that they can see the relevance and meaningfulness of mathematics.

Students engage in activities to explore and learn mathematical concepts and skills, individually or in groups. They could use manipulatives or other resources to construct meanings and understanding. Students further explore different strategies and explain why the strategies work or do not work and finally, derive a conclusion as a team. During the discussion, students are also encouraged to communicate their ideas using appropriate mathematical language

Students need practice to achieve mastery. Practice can be motivating and fun. Practice must include repetition and variation to achieve proficiency and flexibility. Structuring practice in the form of games is

• ne good strategy to make practice

motivating and fun, while allowing for repetition and variation. There should be a range of activities, from simple recall of facts to application of concepts

Whole Numbers

Counting is Fun! Use objects around your house like coins, toys, spoons and forks etc, to practise

• counting. If the quantity is big, get your child to talk about the counting

strategies he/she uses in counting. I Spy Numbers Around Me While out on a family trip, encourage your child to be aware of the numbers within the surrounding area by inviting your child to ‘spy’ numbers on buses, on road speed signs, on advertisement boards and everywhere possible.

P1: Length P1: Money P1: Time P1: Mass

Measurement

Shopping is Fun! Get your child to help you in grocery shopping the next time you visit a

• supermarket. Pass him/her your grocery list. Get him/her to estimate the bill

before paying for the groceries. Get him/her every opportunity to sharpen his/her estimation skills! Tell Me the Time Build the positive habit of getting your child to tell you the time when doing the daily activities together. Parents can also take the opportunity to talk about time in terms of o’clock and half-past.

Measurement

Cook it Right Parents can get children to help out in the kitchen when cooking a meal or baking some cookies. The actions of measuring the ingredients required will help your child to strengthen his/her estimation skills in Mathematics. Talk to your child about the appropriate measures, the abbreviations (e.g. g, kg, l and ml) and the mass (e.g. in terms of heavy, light, more and less than).

P1: Shapes & Patterns

Geometry

Shapes in Our House and Everywhere! To get your child to recognise shapes (e.g. rectangle, square, triangle and circle), invite your child to identify objects within the house that has the shape that he/she learns in school. Encourage your child to outline the shape with his/her finger and talk about the shape on the object. While out on a family trip, provide the opportunity to get your child to recognise the shapes within his/her surrounding.

P1: Picture Graphs

Data Analysis

Create a graph of your child’s growth over time. Use count days to a special event. Collect data relating to the child e.g count up books that have been read over a month

List of everyday Math related simple games/activities my child

• Practise number facts in game situations.
• Don’t expect your children to naturally add and subtract like you do.
• Let your children discuss their ways for adding and subtracting with you.

Resist the temptation to say.. “ This is how you should do it ”

Ask your child to explain their strategies for adding and subtracting Use children’s experiences. As often as possible, base problems on children’s everyday experiences at school and at home.

How can you help at home?

Common Errors on Addition

Addition with regrouping

2 9 + 3 3

_________

5 2 2 9 + 3 3

_________

5 1 2 12 9 + 3 3

_________

1 5 2

Did not rename at all Adding each column separately No concept of place value. Rename at the wrong column

2 9 + 3 3

__________

1 6

Subtracted instead of adding

Regrouping is the process used in addition and subtraction that most of us remember as “carry over” and “borrowing”.

Common errors/misconception

Comparative adjectives : “more than”, “less than”

58 is 10 more than 68 .

Adding because of association with ‘more’

36 is 10 less than 26 .

Subtracting because of association with ‘less’

Common Errors on Addition

Problem Sums

There are 10 blue and red buttons altogether. There are 2 red buttons. How many buttons are blue? 10 + 2 = 12

10 – 2 = 8

Questions related to Number Bonds

Use 3 numbers below to make an addition or a subtraction sentence.

2 + 5 = 7 7 - 2 = 5

2 7 5

2 + 7 = 9 8 - 2 = 6

8

Common errors made by pupils

John has 16 marbles. He has 7 marbles more than Ali. How many marbles does Ali have? 16 + 7 = 23 Ali has 9 marbles. 16 – 7 = 9

Ali John

? 16 7

Common errors made by pupils

Mrs Tan puts 8 gingerbread men cookies in each tray. There are 3 trays. How many gingerbread men cookie did she have altogether?

8 X 3 = 24 She has 24 gingerbread men cookies. 3 X 8 = 24

Common errors made by pupils

Or

If Question asks

“Write a number equation that represents the picture shown.”

3 X 8 = 24 8 X 3 = 24

John has 25 marbles. Alan has 20 marbles. Bob has 22 marbles. How many marbles do they have altogether?

25 + 20 = 45 + 22 = 67

25 + 20 = 45 45 + 22 = 67 25 + 20 + 22 = 67

Common errors made by pupils

How to teach problem sums to your child?

Skill 1: Vocabulary

A child might face difficulty because he or she cannot understand the context of a word in problem sum questions. If your child suffers from this problem, you will need first to broaden their vocabulary and improve their comprehension before going into the actual problem.

Skill 2 : Comparative adjectives

Problem sums use many comparative adjectives that describe mathematical relationship. When a child doesn’t understand these comparative adjectives, he or she will use the wrong formula in their problem solving. E.g. “more than”, “less than”, “equals to”, “has fewer than”, “has more than”

Skill 3 : Understand Numerical process

To know which numbers to use first and what calculations to apply to them ( add, subtract, multiply

• r divide).

The best way to develop logical thinking in numerical processes is to use the Singapore Math Model Method.

Conclusion

Aim of Primary School Mathematics

acquire mathematical concepts and skills for everyday use and for continuous learning in mathematics; develop thinking, reasoning, communication, application and metacognitive skills through a mathematical approach to problem solving; and build confidence and foster interest in mathematics.
