Hi


My P1 girl is weak in the area of \"Less than\" maths questions eg:

a) 2 is ___ less than 10
b) 3 is 4 less than ____

Is there any technique to teach her the concept? I tried to ask her think through grammatically but couldnt work.

Need help! thank you....

This is the area many kids are weak in. For me, I used to teach my kids to form an equation as follows:

_____ is 2 less than 5
Equation : 5 - 2 = ______
Read fm the right to left & translate into equation i.e. 5 - (less than) 2 = (is) ______

2 less than 5 is ______
Equation : _____ = 5 - 2 (Explain that 5-2 = ___ is the same as __ = 5-2)

2 is _____ less than 5
Equation : 5 - _____ = 2

2 is 5 less than ______
Equation : _____ - 5 = 2 (Explain that u need a bigger no. to minus the other no., hence u hv to plus)

_____ is 2 more than 5
Equation : 5 + (more than) 2 = (is) _______

2 more than 5 is _____
Equation : ____ = 5 + 2

5 is ____ more than 2
Equation : 2 + ______ = 5


5 is 2 more than _____
Equation : _____ + 2 = 5

This works if yr child understands how to solve the equation, it worked on my kids when they were in P1. As the child progresses, he/she will hv a better understanding so can skip this step.

Taught ds with this equation method too...after that ds will use either mental cal or finger cal to find the answer; it took some time/practice for ds to shoe with this \"less than\" 'more than\" questions.

Had a really bad experience with the MPM math branch in Simei. Students were having classes while the school allows birthday party to be held within their premises with rowdy childrens running around and shouting. Though i'm a faithful follower of MPM math and believe that it's method really work, but i also believe that a conducive learning environment is also important. :?:

Hi bjc, noticed this new school when visited popular last week.You talked to school abt d bad experience? Any action taken by d school authority.
