STEPS FOR PROBLEM-SOLVING:
POLYA’S MODEL Step1: Understanding the Problem. • What are the key words? • How would you describe the problem in your own words?
Step 2: Plan • Select the strategy to solve the problem. More than one strategy may be adopted. • Try common heuristics (Model drawing, systematic listing, find a pattern, draw a diagram)
Step 3: Do • Use computational skills – add, subtract, multiply, divide • Use mathematical tools – ruler, metre ruler • Use thinking skills – classifying, comparing, sequencing, identifying pattern
Step 4: Check • Read your question again to make sure you have answered the question. • Check the working step by step. • Start with your answer and work backwards and check if the results satisfy
the given conditions.

Bar Model Method Emphasis is placed on teaching pupils to
use the bar model method to solve word
problems that include part- whole, comparison
and change situations.
• Primary 1 – Introduction to Part & Whole and Comparison models
• Primary 2 – Multiplication & Division
• Primary 3 to 6 – More advanced techniques and strategies in the method are taught

• Mini Test • Performance Task • Practical Test • Written Exam
* Dates to be confirmed. A letter will be issued.
Types of Assessments
Programmes and Activities • Maths @ Recess Games
• Maths Quiz
• Drama in Maths
• Learning Support for Maths (LSM) – P1 to P4
Learning Support Programme • Aims to provide assistance to pupils who need help
to build their foundational numeracy skills and
knowledge to keep up with the P2 curriculum.
• Additional support on a daily basis by a LSM teacher and an Allied Educator.
• Lessons in a small group environment.
• Builds confidence and positive beliefs about their ability in Math.
Math Tips for Parents • Work and communicate closely with your
child’s Maths Teacher.
• Follow up on homework – ask questions that
guide without telling them the answer.
• Train your child to show proper and detailed working
steps.
• Train your child to check for accuracy.
• Relate Math concepts to daily life examples eg.
Is the height of the table longer or shorter than one metre?
• Play mathematical games / puzzles.
• Provide a positive environment – encourage
and praise your child’s effort.
