Math Homework

U3, Whole Numbers (III), Practice 4
Pupils have been assigned the above mentioned with a special emphasis on model drawing which has been introduced in Primary 3.

It is essential that the good habit of drawing models is cultivated from a young age as this method will put the pupils in good stead in the long run when it comes to national examinations=)


The marks earned when pupils draw model to help in their understand outweighs the extra time spent drawing the model.

Important: While no extra marks is awarded for model drawing, the understanding derived from the conceptualisation into a single diagram goes a long way.

There were instances of pupils, at the upper primary, due to thier inability to conceptualise the questions into a simplified diagram and therefore, wasted precious time stuck at the problems sums section.
