Teaching guide

What students learn

Use mathematical modelling for practical problems with whole numbers, fractions, decimals and percentages, including money, and explain and justify the answer in context.

How to teach it

Read it twice, underline the question and the numbers, draw a bar model or picture, choose the operation, then check the answer makes sense.

Worked example
Zoe had 165 apples and gave away 64. How many apples are left?
Answer: 101
Why: subtract: 165 โˆ’ 64 = 101

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Grabbing the numbers and guessing the operation from a key word instead of the situation (e.g. 'more' does not always mean add).
