MENDAKI Course for Parents Model Method for Lower Primary
The document discusses the model method for teaching mathematics in lower primary education, emphasizing various strategies for problem-solving and visualization. It presents examples of calculations involving units and methods to determine relationships between numbers, as well as concepts like the part-whole model and mental computation. Additionally, it highlights the role of parents in coaching children to develop their own understanding of math through support and guided practice.

- 1. The Model Methodfor Lower PrimaryDrYeap Ban Harbanhar@sg.marshallcavendish.comMarshall Cavendish Institute SingaporePresentation slides are available at www.banhar.blogspot.com
- 2. What is theModel Method?
- 3. 5 units =601 units = 60 : 5 = 128 units = 8 x 12 = 80 + 16 = 96There are 96 people at the party.Number of womenNumber of menNumber of children

- 9. JackKyla3 units =$3001 units = $300 : 3 = $100Kyla gets $100.
- 11. LarryMaria4 units =$3001 units = $300 : 4 = $753 units = 3 x $75 = $300 - $75 = $225Maria gets $225.
- 13. What if thelarger number is 58?1st Number2nd NumberThen the smaller number is 58 – 12 = 46.12What if the sum of the numbers is 58?58 – 12 = 4646 : 2 = 23Then the smaller number is 23 and the larger number is 23 + 12 = 35.58 + 12 = 70The larger number is 70.
- 14. What if thetotal number of boys and girls is 58?
- 15. 58 – 12= 4646 : 2 = 23PeterNatalia12Peter’s bag weighs 23 kg.Natalia’s bag weighs 23 kg + 12 kg = 35 kg.
- 16. StrategiesWho is inthe story? What is it about?Read a sentence. Do something.Leave out numbers in reading a sentence.Are you sure? Is it easy?Do more mental computations.Can you explain this step? Maybe other people cannot understand it.
- 17. Basic Models includePart-Whole Model, Change Model and Comparison Model
- 18. Mathematics to developvisualization through bar models, number sense through mental calculation, and ability to manage information through word problems.
- 19. Parents coaching childrenare providing the ‘voice’ that eventually becomes the children’s own thinking.
