Math Heuristic: Solving A Word Problem Using The Model Method and Logic

Hi all,

In this video, we use The Model Method to deduce the answer. This is a non-routine type of Math word problem and is not commonly taught in schools.

Have fun!!!

P3/P4 Math: Multiples with Remainder Word Problem

Hi all,

Today, I will be talking about how to draw a table to solve a Math word problem. Enjoy!!!

Ratio Total Changed Revisited

Hi!

I made a new video on the same question using the model method. This will be helpful for the students who could not understand the method yesterday.

Have fun!

Math Heuristic: Ratio Total Changed

Hi all,

Today, I am going through another Math Heuristic: Ratio Total Changed. I think this is one of the most difficult heuristic for Ratio. However, it could be mastered through practice.

Have fun!!!

Math Heuristic: Guess and Check alternative

Hi all!

This is another Math video for your revision. Many students will use 'Guess and Check' for this question. However, it is more effective to use the deduction method.

I encourage you to do the question (without using algebra) before watching the entire video.

Have fun!

Math Heuristic: Constant Difference mixed with Ratio/Fractions

Hi all,

From this question, you would see that many topics can be combined into one word problem.

I challenge you to try to do the question before you see the answer. Your method would most probably be different from what your child learns in school.

Have fun!

Math Heuristic: Sentence By Sentence Deconstruction

Hi all,

Many students were stumbled by this particular question due to its complexity. However, it could be easily solved by reading and extracting the information in each sentence.

Have fun!

Video Lesson: P4 Fraction Heuristic 2a

Hi all,

Today, I will be going through another Math heuristic on Fractions. I highly encourage you to let your child attempt the question first before letting him/her view the video.


The question is

Video Lesson: P4 Fraction Heuristic 1a

Hi all!

It has been a while. This is a video on a P4 Fraction Heuristic. The common error most students make is that they did not read the word 'remaining' or 'remainder'. Enjoy the video!

Math Heuristic: Systematic Listing

Hi all,

Another Math Video this week. In this video, I will be touching on Systematic Listing. The key method here is 'branching'. Have fun!

If-If Heuristic: Solving It In Pictures

Hi!

The video below shows how to solve 'If-If' type of questions in Math. Many children still struggle at solving this type of questions in P6. I hope your child can benefit from the video.

Have fun!

P3/P4 Math Heuristics (Level 3 Lesson 1)

Good day to you!

The term break is just round the corner and I hope you have planned meaningful activities for your children.

Today, I am posting a video lesson on Math. It teaches the model method (one of the key heuristics) for solving word problems. Establishing a good foundation in model drawing is important in P3/P4 because the questions will get more complicated in P5/P6. Enjoy the lesson!
