KNOWLEDGE • Reading widely is recommended • Newspapers, educational magazines, different genres of books, etc. • A variety of topics can be tested • Success will depend largely on the pupil’s knowledge, experiences, readings 41
We look forward to a continued partnership with you. 42
Making Mathematics Relevant To Daily Life Welcome To Mathematics Sharing Session 11 March 2016
Have your children ever asked you why must they learn Mathematics?
Math Is Everywhere
The he Impor Importance tance Of Ma Math th In In Ever eryday day Lif ife • Mathematics makes our life orderly and prevents chaos . • Certain qualities that are nurtured by mathematics are power of reasoning , creativity , abstract or spatial thinking , critical thinking , problem-solving ability and even effective communication skills .
The Impor he Importance Of tance Of Ma Math th In Ev In Ever eryday Lif day Life • Mathematics is the cradle of all creations, without which the world cannot move an inch. • Everyone needs mathematics in their day-to-day life.
Spiders design their webs The Impor he Importance Of tance Of Ma Math th In Ev In Ever eryday Lif day Life • Even insects use mathematics in their everyday life for existence. Spiders design their webs bees build hexagonal combs.
Objectives To help parents to guide your children in: • Making Learning Meaningful • Making Learning Fun Interested, Motivated & Enjoy Learning Math Capable of Solving Authentic Problems Become Life-Long Learners

Authentic Learning Activities At Home
Counting and Estimation Materials: • Any household objects (toys, crayons, beans, buttons, papers, storybooks etc) Activities: • Estimate the number of items to pick up and count • Compare actual count with the estimate
Varia ariations tions • Specify a number “Pick up 6 toys. How many are left?” “If both of us pick up 4 toys, how many toys did we pick up altogether?” (4 + 4 or 2 x 4) • Sorting, Comparing - sort out laundry and compare who has the most clothes
Varia ariations tions • Poker cards/Dice http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VeCy9vGrVT4 • Lucky Dip Grab a handful of beans, estimate and count. Suggest effective ways to count the beans. E.g. counting in twos, fives etc
Number Patterns Materials: • Newspapers, magazines Activity: • Cut out all the numbers found in the newspaper and arrange in ascending / descending order Variation • Cut out pictures from the newspaper and use them to make a counting book.
Multiplica Multiplication tion & Di & Division vision Materials: • Countable food (macaroni, peanuts, biscuits, sweets etc) Activities: • Count to find how much food • Dividing into equal groups “If we give everyone 3 peanuts, … in all?” “How many are left?” “What if there are 15 sweets..?”
Money Money Materials: • Grocery advertisements with coupons • Sale ads (TOY’R’US, Popular, Giant, NTUC) Activities: • Calculate total value of a set of coupons • Find coupons that add up to specified amount • Which is more expensive? How much cheaper? • Calculate savings accumulated for a set • Sorting coupons into categories and count Which group has more/less? • How much does a meal cost?
Varia ariations tions • Wish list – What are the items you can buy with a specified amount • Counting with real money in various denominations “I have 4 coins in my pocket that adds up to $1. What are they?” • Arrange items/coupons in ascending/descending order Infuse Math with • Financial literacy • Health and Diet - sort according to food groups
Fractions Materials: • toast, fruits, pizza Activity: • Cut the toast into halves, thirds, quarters, fifths and sixths • Compare the various pieces
Time Materials: • Clock (analogue) , TV listings, Class Timetable Activities: • Telling time for an event (dinner, cartoon show) • “How much longer?” • “Taking turns” • Calculate duration, start or end time “When should we leave?”
Varia ariations tions • Record the time for an event (dinner, bedtime) for a few days and compare • Estimate the time needed to complete various household chores Infuse Math with • Time management
Mass Materials: • Weighing machine • Objects (fruits, stationery, ingredient for baking) Activities • Predict the mass of the object, then weigh to find the actual mass of object. • Follow the recipe to cook or bake
Volume olume Materials: • Variety of plastic containers and bottles • Measuring cups Activities: • Predict which can hold more and test out • Compare volume
Varia ariations tions • Start with same containers then move on to use containers of different shapes • Use non standard units (cups) to fill up containers then proceed to use measuring cups with readings Make connections to other topics: • Lines and surfaces of containers • Shapes of containers
Picture Graphs Materials: • Mails in the mail box Activity: • “Which day in the week do we receive the greatest amount of mails?”
• Tabulate on A4 paper Day of the Number of week mails • Use a picture graph to present data Mon collected Tue • Encourage your child to report the Wed findings Thu • Ask simple questions to analyse Fri data Sat “What does the graph tells us Sun about the mail we received this week?” “Will the graph be the same next week? Why?”
Shapes and Patterns Materials: • Things around you Activities: • Shapes around us E.g. road signs • Shape hunt in the house “This shape has 6 square faces.”
Varia ariations tions • Look for shapes during trips to the supermarket E.g. cubical biscuit tins, conical ice-cream cones, cylindrical toilet rolls • Test your child with questions such as “Which item has flat faces?” “How many?” “Which item is pointed at the top?” • Challenge your child to identify shapes that can be stacked on top of one another easily and explain why Infuse Math with • Road safety
Thinking Skills • Classifying/Grouping • Sequencing • Comparing • Listing
