Let’s Do Mathematics

Re ga le du ca tio n

Let’s Do Mathematics is a series covering levels K-6 and is fully aligned to o the United States Common Core State Standards (USCCSS). Each level consists of two books boo (Book A and Book B) and combines textbook-style presentation of concepts oncepts pts as well as workbook practice.

Central to the USCCSS is the promotion of problem-solving skills ls and reasoning. Let’s Do Mathematics achieves this by teaching and presenting ng g concepts through throu a problem-solving based pedagogy and using the concrete-pictorial-abstract pictorial-abstract torial-abstract ((CPA) approach. Learners acquire knowledge and understanding a ng off concepts through thr th guided progression beginning with concrete examples and experiences which then w flow into pictorial representations and finally mastery at the and symbolic level. e abstract an a This approach ensures that learners develop a fundamental understanding of concepts damental ental understa underst rather than answering questions by learned procedures edures es and algorithms. algorit

Key features of the series include:

Example ern. There are 139 marbles of 3 colors arranged in the following pattern. How many more green than blue marbles are there in all??

There are 4 marbles in each repeating part of the pattern. To find the total number of sets, we divide. 139 ÷ 4 = 34 R 3

The remaining 3 marbles are red, blue and green.

Let's find the number of blue and nd green reen marbles marb marble in 34 sets. In one set, there is one blue and two green marbles. arbles. Total green = 34 x 2 = 68 Total blue

So, there are 68 green een marbles and a 34 blue marbles in a set of 34.

There are 1 of each h color remaining. rem remainin So we add 1 to both green and blue totals. There are e 69 green marbles marble and 35 blue marbles. 69 – 35 = 34 4

First, let's find the initial cost price. 286 x $0.85 = $243.10

Find the total amount of money he received sales. eceived d from ssa Income = expenses + profits = $243.10 + $87.10 = $330.20 He received $330.20 from sales. ales..

Assuming all the fruits sold were ere e apples: apples $1.30 x 274 = $356.20 $356.20 - $330.20 = $26
