Over the past years of teaching primary school Mathematics, I had compiled over 30 different word problem types that students ought to learn from Primary 3 to Primary 6. I had sorted them to 3 difficulties over 3 different volumes. This is the first volume.
In this book, you will learn the first 9 basic problem types in this series.
- Repeated Identity
- 3 Choose 2
- Systemic Listing
- Equal Concept
- Of the Remaining
- Equal Before/After
- Basic Grouping
- Number Patterns (Arithmetic Sequences)
- Pouring Water Problem (Same Height)
In each of the problem types, it comes complete with
- How to Identify the - Learn how to identify the problem type before solving.
- Suggested Heuristics - What are some strategies that can be employed.
- Prerequisites - Which other problem types do you need to master first before this one.
- Lead-On - What's the next problem type expanding from the current one.
- Worked Examples
- Practice Questions (with Solutions and walkthrough process)
This is not any other assessment book. It digs deeper into not just the 'what' and the 'how', but also the 'why'. If you want to learn Mathematics not just to ace your exams, but to further appreciate the art of problem-solving, this book is for you.
