4. Data Analysis

1. Whole Numbers1.1 Numbers up to 100

- Ordinal numbers

- Numbers bond

1.2 Addition and Subtraction

1.3 Multiplication and Division

How to help your child?

Use concrete materials for counting

Count forward and backward

Use mathematical language

E.g. more than, fewer than, as many as,

3 and 4 make 7

Play games, sing songs, use flashcards

2. Measurement

2.1 Length

2.2 Time

2.3 Money

How to help your child?

Use mathematical language

e.g. longer than, as tall as,

Tell time using ‘o’clock’ and ‘half past’

Counting coins and notes

Grocery shopping

3. Geometry3.1 Basic shapes

- classifying shapes

3. Geometry

3.1 Basic shapes

- identifying shapes

3. Geometry

3.2 Patterns

• make/complete patterns with 2-D shapes according to

– Size

– Shape

–Colour

–Orientation

4. Data Analysis

4.1 Picture Graphs

(collecting, organising data, reading

and interpreting data from picture

graphs)

How to help your child?

Get your child to recognise shapes within her surroundings

Encourage your child to outline the shape with her finger and talk about the shape of the object

Collect data and create picture graphs relating to your child.

E.g number of books read over 4 months.

Let’s explore the

Model Approach (P2 & P3)

Model Drawing

• Primary 2 – Part-whole and Comparison

• Primary 3 – Multiplication and Division

• Primary 4 to 6 – More advanced techniques and strategies in the method are taught

Part-whole Model: Addition

- Shows the various parts which make up a whole

savings

There are 26 girls and 11 boys in a class. What is the total number of pupils in the class?

26 + 11 = 37

Girls Boys

26 11

?

There are 37 pupils in the class.

Part-whole Model: Multiplication

Siti has 5 dolls.

Each doll costs $6.

How much do 5 dolls cost altogether?

1 doll $6

5 dolls $6 × 5

= $30

Ans: $30

$6 $6 $6 $6 $6

?

Comparison Model

Mary has 5 pencils.

June has 2 more pencils than Mary.

How many pencils does June have?

savings5 + 2 = 7

Mary

June

?

5

June has 7 pencils.

Non-weighted Assessments

• Hands-on activities

• Math Practices

e.g. workbook exercises, heuristics worksheets

• Informal Assessments:

Topical Tests, Mini-Tests

Performance Tasks

Self Assessment Checklists

Practical Assessments

Math Journals

Diagnostic Tests

Marking Annotation• Teachers will use these annotation when

marking the pupils’ work.

1)CC – careless calculation

Example: 234 + 456 = 680 x CC

2) ME – missing equation

Example :

Huiping has 86 stickers. Aisha has 49 fewer stickers than Huiping. How many stickers does Aisha have?

ME ( missing equation) 86 -49=37

Aisha has 37 stickers.

Codes Representations

WM Wrong method to arrive at the same answer

CC Careless calculation (method is correct)

MU Missing Units

ME Missing Equation

Common codes used during marking of Maths questions/word problems

Programmes and Activities• Maths Games@ Recess

• Maths Quiz

• Math Trail in P3

• Drama in Maths

• Learning Centres

• HGS e-Learning portal: MC Online:

• Student Learning Space

Expectations

• Listen and participate actively

• Be on task

• Be prepared

- bring the necessary books

- handing in work on time

• Ask when in doubt

• Take pride in her work

- check through, neat handwriting

• Persevere – Keep Trying and Don’t Give Up

Supporting your child in their learning journey

How can parents be involved…• Work and communicate with your

child’s Math Teacher.

• Monitor/Follow-up on homework – ask questions that

guide without telling them what to do when your child encounters difficulties with homework, you can help by asking questions that guide.

• Relate Math concepts to daily life examples.

Eg. Is the table longer or shorter than one metre?

• Play mathematical games / puzzles.
