Good idea, it would also allow us to think about the strategies to use and therefore leave strategies that children at that level are not ready for.

Yeap I also try to copy dwn for my P3 girl to try. Thanks

I would appreciate that as well.

Good idea! As it allow the right methods applied for right level. 😊

There will be a good number of questions involving "more than", "less than" and "___ times as many" to be tested at P3 SA1. Ensure your child can solve those. :)

The working shown is correct.

Yes.

thank u yueh mei & Alex..

Thanks Lincoln.

My answer is different?

If ratio is covered, may use ratio to solve. Otherwise, using the model method is the same.

Alex. I got your answer as well. The teacher had another answer.

Oops, my bad.

No bad... We are all learning primary school Maths!

Can show teacher's answer so we can discuss?

Thanks Yueh mei too!

Will post soon.

Ratio is a lot easier. Ensure ratio foundation and concept is strong. That's my preference la.

no of apples ＝534 x 2/3 ＝356 no of pears ＝ 534/(2/5) ＝267x5 ＝1335 Total no of fruits＝356+534+1335＝2225

Thanks all

I think the teacher made a mistake, she divided the 534 by 3, but when she merged the ratios, the amount per unit ratio is different. Teacher should have divided 534 by 6 after merging ratio.

Managed to work out answer

Cracked my head to use model... finally....

Thanks, Yeo See Yeong!

Mai kek kee.. I am struggling with model and thanks to this group. I am beginning to see some patterns in solving using model and hopefully will improve through more practices. 😀
