Mathematics

Concrete stage –

the stage of

learning where

students work only

with the

manipulatives so as

to understand a

mathematical

concept. Symbols

are absent during

this stage.

Pictorial stage – the stage where students

use pictures in the same manner as

manipulatives. The manipulatives may or may

not be present. It is also the stage where

students may watch the manipulation of

manipulatives instead of doing it themselves.

Abstract stage – the stage

where there is no

manipulative or pictorial

help but symbols are used

instead. Students

manipulate the symbols

using the math concepts

learned from the previous

stages.

Model Drawing

•Encourage your child to draw models.

•Model drawing is a useful strategy to help students

visualize the problem, and translate words into pictorial

representation.

•Model drawing aids the child in problem solving

especially at the upper primary.

•Please also note that the use of model rulers will not be

allowed during examination from Primary Six onwards.

Your child is strongly encouraged to draw models with

rulers and not with model rulers.

Equation

Rationale: The marking code is used as a form of diagnostic marking. It is used to communicate the type of mistakes made by the students so that they can make improvement.

Quality of work

1. Pupils present their methods neatly and clearly in pencil. They need to write answer statements for all problem sums.

2. Pupils complete corrections in green pen.

3. For construction questions and drawing of models, insist the use of rulers, pencils and mathematical sets (P3 set square).

4. Date every piece of work assigned.

5. Parents’ signatures are requested (every chapter in Targeting Math, Activity Booklets, practice and exam papers).

6. Put all P3 Math worksheets in 3 blue files:

(1) Targeting Math 3A

(2) Targeting Math 3B

(3) Other Worksheets (Activity Booklets, practice and exam papers,

differentiated worksheets, etc)

7. Encourage the use of model. Stress on the importance of labelling the

models. Pupils are not allowed to use model rulers during examination

from Primary Six onwards.

Supportive Parents

1) Spend time with your child daily (where possible) or at

least once a week to interact with your child regarding the

school activities or homework assignments. Sign your

child’s booklets as and when the signatures are requested

by your child’s teacher.

2) To provide SLS access for the child to be engaged in self-

directed learning and consolidation of concepts.

3) Make Math alive (e.g. Use of coins in the canteen to buy

food). To provide opportunities to help pupils see how

Math concepts are applied in their daily lives.

4) Encourage your child even if he / she has difficulty

coping / understanding a problem. Praise your child even

if he / she makes minimal improvement.
