  Mathematics

Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract Approach in teaching
Mathematics
 Concrete stage –
    the stage of
  learning where                                        Abstract stage – the stage
students work only                                      where there is no
      with the                                          manipulative or pictorial
manipulatives so as                                     help but symbols are used
  to understand a                                       instead. Students
   mathematical                                         manipulate the symbols
 concept. Symbols                                       using the math concepts
 are absent during                                      learned from the previous
     this stage.                                        stages.

                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.

                                   Schultz, 1986; Sowel, 1989; Keller, 1993

Use of Student
Learning Space

Use of ICT (SLS project on P3 Area)

Level   Activity                               Integration
P1      Learning Journey to Tampines Hub       Math, English and SS

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.

Rationale: The marking code is used as a
form of diagnostic marking. It is used to
communicate the type of mistakes made
                              Equation
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.
