Learning experiences based on the Readiness-Engagement-Mastery model
Every student is a successful mathematics learner.
The instructional design of each chapter comprises learning experiences that consistently involve three phases of learning: Readiness, Engagement, and Mastery so that teaching and learning mathematics is effective, measurable and diagnostic.
Readiness
Because mathematical knowledge is cumulative in nature, a student’s readiness to learn new concepts or skills is vital to learning success.
Checking prior knowledge
Let’s Remember systematically assesses students’ grasp of the required prior knowledge and provides an accurate evaluation of their readiness to learn new concepts or skills.
The objective and chapter reference for each task are listed so that teachers can easily reteach the relevant concepts from previous chapters or grades.
Let's Remember
Recall:
Taking ownership of learning
1. Converting time from the 12-hour clock notation to the 24-hour clock notation (CB4 Chapter 15)
2. Converting time from the 24-hour clock notation to the 12-hour clock notation (CB4 Chapter 15)
Explore encourages mathematical curiosity and a positive learning attitude by getting students to recall the requisite prior knowledge, set learning goals and track their learning as they progress through the unit.
3. Finding the duration of a time interval given time in 24-hour clock notation (CB4 Chapter 15)
EXPLORE
Have students read the word problem on CB p. 278. Discuss with students the following questions:
•Do you have friends or family living in other parts of the world?
•Do they live in a different time zone ? What is the time difference from where you are living?
•Have you tried to communicate with them before? What was the mode of communication? How was your experience like?
Have students form groups to complete the tasks in columns 1 and 2 of the table. Let students know that they do not have to solve the word problem. Ask the groups to present their work.
Tell students that they will come back to this word problem later in the chapter.
Engagement
Questions are provided for teachers to conduct a class discussion about the task. Students work in groups to recall what they know, discuss what they want to learn and keep track of what they have learned.
This is the main phase of learning for which TM Mathematics principally incorporates three pedagogical approaches to engage students in learning new concepts and skills.
Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach
Both concept lessons and formative assessment are centered on the proven activity-based Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach.
CPA in formative assessment provides feedback to teachers on the level of understanding of students.
CPA in concept lessons consistently and systematically develops deep conceptual understanding in all students.
Gradual Release of Responsibility
Concept lessons progress from teacher demonstration and shared demonstration to guided practice, culminating in independent practice and problem solving.
In Let’s Learn, teachers introduce, explain and demonstrate new concepts and skills. They draw connections, pose questions, emphasize key concepts and model thinking.
Students engage in activities to explore and learn mathematical concepts and skills, individually or in groups. They could use manipulatives or other resources to construct meanings and understandings. From concrete manipulatives and experiences, students are guided to uncover abstract mathematical concepts.
Let’s Do is an opportunity for students to work collaboratively on guided practice tasks.
Students work on Let’s Practice tasks individually in class. Teachers assign Exercises in the Practice Book as independent practice for homework.
Teacher-led enquiry
This approach is about learning through guided enquiry. Instead of giving the answers, teachers lead students to explore, investigate and find answers on their own. Students learn to focus on specific questions and ideas, and are engaged in communicating, explaining and reflecting on their answers. They also lear n to pose questions, process information and data, and seek appropriate methods and solutions.
Purposeful questions provided in the Teacher’s Guide help teachers to encourage students to explain and reflect on their thinking.
The three approaches detailed above are not mutually exclusive and are used concurrently in different parts of a lesson. For example, the lesson could start with an activity, followed by teacher-led enquiry and end with direct instruction.
Mastery
There are multiple opportunities in each lesson for students to consolidate and deepen their learning.
Motivated practice
1.
Practice helps students achieve mastery in mathematics. Let’s Practice in the Coursebook, Exercises in the Practice Book and Digital Practices incorporate systematic variation in the item sets for students to achieve proficiency and flexibility. These exercises provide opportunities for students to strengthen their understanding of concepts at the pictorial and abstract levels and to solve problems at these levels.
2.
2.
There are a range of activities, from simple recall of facts to application of concepts, for students to deepen their understanding.
Reflective review
Think About It and Math Journal provide opportunities for students to reflect on what they have lear ned, and in doing so, consolidate and deepen their learning.
Consolidation of learning
Assessment after each chapter and quarterly Reviews provide summative assessment for consolidation of learning throughout the year.

• Applications and modelling
• Thinking skills and heuristics
TM Mathematics incorporates this framework in its instructional design and develops mathematical problem-solving ability through five-inter-related components: Concepts, Skills, Processes, Metacognition and Attitudes.
In , problem solving is not only a goal of learning mathematics, it is also a tool of learning.
Problem solving for productive struggle to develop resilience
81 – 45 = 36
The number is 36 more than 10.
10 + 36 = 46
At the beginning of each chapter, Explore provides the opportunity to engage prior knowledge in problem solving, leading to independent thinking and greater ownership of learning.
3.
Throughout the chapter, students revisit the problem and persevere in solving it.
Concept development via problem solving
Mathematical problems are used as contexts for introducing concepts and to develop deep conceptual understanding.
Concepts are introduced in Let’s Learn in each unit via problems that the students solve using the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach. Teachers lead students to investigate, explore and find answers on their own. Students are thus guided to uncover abstract mathematical concepts and ideas.
Developing a problem-solving mindset –students can extrapolate from what they know and apply their knowledge of mathematics in a range of situations, including new and unfamiliar ones.
Multiple opportunities for learning problem solving at varying levels of difficulty
Students learn to solve problems by applying concepts, skills and processes learned to various problem situations both familiar and non-routine. Each chapter ends with a problem-solving lesson.
Word problems
Word problems help students recognize the role that mathematics plays in the world by applying the concepts and skills they have learned within a context.
Word problems assess students’ ability to apply the knowledge learned.
Non-routine problems
Mind stretchers are specially crafted problems that require students to apply concepts and skills to unusual or complex problem situations and solve the problems using heuristics and higher order thinking skills. Students learn how to select, innovate and compare their strategies.
Teachers will guide students through the worked out examples in the coursebooks. Additional mind stretchers are provided in the Teaching Hub for students to try out such questions on their own.
Problem posing tasks
Create Your Own is a proven problem-posing and problem-solving activity in which students are encouraged to explore, share failures and successes, and question one another In doing so, they become more confident in posing problems and persist with challenging problems.
Students work in pairs or groups to create a word problem, exchange the problem with others, solve the problem and present their work to the class. Students have to explain how they come up with the word problem before presenting the solution.
Computational thinking tasks
Building on the mathematics concepts and skills learned, Mission Possible tasks introduce students to computational thinking, an important foundational skill in STEM education.
Prompts are provided in the teacher’s guide for teachers to guide students through the stages of computational thinking (decomposition, pattern recognition, abstraction and algorithms) to solve the problem.
Decomposition
Students break down the problem into smaller and simpler problems.
Pattern recognition
Students analyze the information and look for a pattern.
Abstraction
Students focus on information that will help them solve the problem and ignore the irrelevant details.
Algorithms
Students provide a step-by-step solution for the problem.
MISSION POSSIBLE
Have students complete the task on CB p. 329 independently. Point out to students that the bot is facing the line of symmetry. Go through the task using the prompts given below.
1. Decomposition
Ask: How can we break down the problem into smaller and simpler problems? (Answer varies. Sample: Identify the squares that need to be shaded to complete the figure. Draw a continuous path through the shaded squares. Write down each step to get from the first square to the last square.)
2. Pattern Recognition Ask: What if the bot is not facing the line of symmetry? Will the first step still require the bot to move forward? (No) What will the first step for the bot be in this case? (To make a turn) When can the first step for the bot to go forward be? (When the bot is in a shaded square and facing the line of symmetry) When will the first step require the bot to make a turn? (When the bot is not facing the line of symmetry)
3. Abstraction Ask: What information will help you solve the problem? (Which grid squares are shaded to form the symmetric figure, where the line of symmetry is, where the bot is, the direction the bot is facing, the restriction that the bot should not return to any grid squares previously colored, the words to use, the steps given, the labels on the grid)
4. Algorithms Have a student describe the steps he/she used to solve the problem and present the solution. Guide students to generalize the steps needed for the bot to complete a symmetric figure when: a) the bot is in a shaded square facing the line of symmetry. b) the bot is in a shaded square not facing the line of symmetry.
Mathematical modeling tasks
Mathematical Modeling is a way of connecting mathematics with real-world problems. Students represent a real-world problem using mathematics and formulate a model which may describe, explain or predict the real-world problem. The formulated model is thereafter used to obtain a solution to the real-world problem.
Phase 1: Discuss Introduce the real-world problem to the students.
Phase 2: Manipulate Students create a suitable mathematical model or framework for the given problem. They may decide on the variables involved, make sense of data and define terms.
Phase 3: Experiment and Verify Students construct the model. This usually involves the use of concrete materials or pictorial representations.
Phase 4: Present Students present their model with supporting findings and observations.
Phase 5: Reflect Students examines the limitations of the model and extends it to other similar real-world situations.
School Camp
Your school is planning a 3 days 2 nights school camp for all the grade 4 students. The camp site is 235 kilometers away from the school. Everyone will be going to the camp site by rental bus, van or both bus and van.
Work in groups to plan the number of buses and/or vans needed to fit all the people who will be going to the camp site with the least cost.
1. What are some questions you need to ask to complete the task?
Present your findings in a suitable format
a) How many vehicles do you need? b) How much will it cost to rent these vehicles?

Focus on the problem-solving method
TM Mathematics explicitly teaches students to use various thinking skills and heuristics to solve mathematical problems. Thinking skills are skills that can be used in a thinking process, such as classifying, comparing, sequencing, analyzing parts and wholes, and spatial visualization. Heuristics are problem-solving strategies.
TM Mathematics teaches the following heuristics:
Use a representation
Make a calculated guess
Walk through the process
Change the problem
• Draw a picture
• Make a list
• Choose an operation
• Guess and check
• Look for a pattern
• Make a supposition
• Use logical reasoning
• Act it out
• Work backwards
• Restate the problem in another way
• Solve part of the problem
This problem is solved using the guess and check strategy. This strategy provides a starting point for solving problems. Students should modify their subsequent guesses based on the results of the earlier guesses instead of making random guesses.
4.2 Mind stretcher
Let's Learn
The bar model method
The bar model method, a key problem-solving strategy in TM Mathematics, helps students understand and draw representations of a problem using mathematical concepts to solve the problem.
In arithmetic word problems, the bar model method helps students visualize the situations involved so that they are able to construct relevant number sentences. In this way, it helps students gain a deeper understanding of the operations they may use to solve problems.
CREATE YOUR OWN
Bottle A contains 75 grams of salt.
Bottle B contains 15 grams more salt than bottle A.
a) What is the mass of salt in bottle B?
b) If Mrs. Chen uses 8 grams of salt from bottle B, what is the mass of salt left in bottle B?
Read the problem. Change the masses in the word problem. How did you decide what masses to use?
Next, solve the word problem. Show your work clearly. What did you learn?
The model method lays the foundation for learning formal algebra because it enables students to understand on a conceptual level what occurs when using complex for mulas and abstract representations. Using the model method to solve algebraic word problems helps students derive algebraic expressions, construct algebraic equations and simplify algebraic equations.

Step-by-step guidance in the lesson plans as well as complete worked solutions assist the teachers in teaching students how to solve mathematical problems using the bar model method with confidence.
Develops a growth mindset in every student –the understanding that each effort is instrumental to growth and to be resilient and persevere when initial efforts fail.
Focus on the problem-solving process UPAC+TM
A unique 5-step Understand-Plan-Answer-Check-PlusTM (UPAC+TM) problem-solving process that ensures students’ problem-solving efforts are consistently scaffolded and students develop critical and creative thinking skills to not only solve the problem but also to consider alternatives that may be viable.
The “+” in the UPAC+TM problem-solving process, unique to TM Mathematics, is designed to develop “the top skills and skill groups which employers see as rising in prominence … include groups such as analytical thinking and innovation, complex critical thinking and analysis as well as problem-solving” (The Future of Jobs Report 2020, World Economic Forum). It is a crucial step that develops flexible problem solvers who can evaluate information, reason and make sound judgments about the solutions they have crafted, after considering possible alter native solutions. This is critical for solving real world problems.

+ Plus
• Is there another way to solve this problem?
• Compare the methods.
• Which is the better method? Why?
• If your answer is not correct, go back to Step 1.
Being able to reason is essential in making mathematics meaningful for all students.
Development and communication of mathematical thinking and reasoning
Students are provided with opportunities to consolidate and deepen their learning through tasks that allow them to discuss their solutions, to think aloud and reflect on what they are doing, to keep track of how things are going and make changes when necessary, and in doing so, develop independent thinking in problem solving and the application of mathematics.
Think About It
In Think About It, purposeful questions based on common conceptual misunderstandings or procedural mistakes are posed. Using question prompts as scaffolding, students think about the question, communicate their reasoning and justify their conclusions. Using the graphic organizers in Think About It, teachers act as facilitators to guide students to the correct conclusion, strengthen students’ mathematical knowledge and provide opportunities for students to communicate their reasoning and justify their conclusions.
As students get into the habit of discussing the question, anxieties about mathematical communication are eased, their mathematical knowledge is strengthened and metacognitive skills are honed. Teachers get an insight into students’ understanding and thought processes by observing the discussions.
This question highlights a conceptual misconception about comparison of fractions. Students often compare fractions without realizing that the wholes must be the same for the comparison to be valid.
This question shows a procedural mistake about subtraction of whole numbers. It is common for students to mix up the addition and subtraction algorithms.
Thinking mathematically is developed as a conscious habit.
Math Journal
Math Journal tasks are designed for students to use the prompts to reflect, express and clarify their mathematical thinking, and to allow teachers to observe students’ growth and development in mathematical thinking and reasoning.
There are concept-based and process-based journaling tasks in TM Mathematics Teaching Hub.
Concept-based
Process-based
Teacher-led enquiry through purposeful questions
Let's Practice
Task 1 requires students to count by threes to find the total number of objects and complete the multiplication sentences. Task 2 requires students to count by threes to complete the patterns.
Students learn through guided enquiry, a process during which instead of giving the answers, teachers lead students to explore, investigate and find answers on their own by posing purposeful questions provided in the Teacher’s Guide. Purposeful questions are used to gather information, probe thinking, make the mathematics visible and encourage reflection and justification. Posing purposeful questions helps to assess and advance students’ reasoning and sense making about important mathematical ideas and relationships.
1.2 Using dot cards
Let's Learn

Say: We can use a dot card to help us find the total number of counters. Have students work in groups. Distribute counters and a copy of Dot Card F (BM10.1) to each group. Stick an enlarged copy of Dot Card F (BM10.1) on the board. Put counters on the three circles in the first row of the dot card.
Say: There is 1 row of counters. There are 3 counters in 1 row. have shown 1 group of 3.
Ask: How do we show 6 groups of 3 on the dot card? (Put counters on 6 rows of the dot card.)
Demonstrate how the counters are to be placed on the dot card to show 6 groups of 3.
Learning mathematics by doing mathematics
The activity-based Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA ) approach is a key instructional strategy advocated in the Singapore approach to mathematics learning. In TM Mathematics, the CPA approach is embedded in the learning experiences:
Concept Development
(Objective: Developing deep conceptual understanding): Let’s Learn
Formative Assessment
(Objective: Evaluating levels of understanding): Let’s Do
Summative Assessment
(Objective: Evaluating conceptual mastery and procedural fluency): Let’s Practice, Practice Book Exercises, Digital Practice
Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach in concept development
Each Let’s Learn segment provides a hands on, teacher-facilitated experience of concepts through the CPA stages.
Concrete
Students use manipulatives or other resources to solve a problem. Through these activities they explore and learn mathematical concepts and skills, individually or in groups, to construct meanings and understandings.
Pictorial
Pictorial representation of the objects used to model the problem in the Concrete stage enables students to see the connections between mathematical ideas and the concrete objects they handled.
Abstract
Once conceptual understanding is developed, students learn to represent the concept using numbers and mathematical symbols.
Throughout the activity, the teacher observes what the students say and do and provides feedback to students.
The CPA approach to mathematics instruction and learning enables students to make and demonstrate mathematical connections, making mathematical understanding deep and long-lasting.
Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach in formative assessment
Within each concept lesson, Let’s Do provides vital feedback to the teacher to understand the level of conceptual understanding of each student and to make appropriate instructional decisions for students.
The tasks in Let’s Do are systematically varied so that as students move from one task to the next, the teacher is able to gauge their level of understanding of the concept and if they can progress to independent work.
Task 1(a) requires students to add like fractions within 1 whole with pictorial aid. Task 1(b) is an extension of Task 1(a). It requires students to simplify the answer after adding the fractions.
Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach in independent practice
Let’s Practice, Practice Book Exercises and Digital Practice help students to transition their understanding of concepts from pictorial to abstract levels.
Practices start with pictorial tasks, moving on to abstract tasks with pictorial aids and finally solely abstract tasks to help students make the transition from pictorial to abstract levels.
Focused and coherent curriculum based on learning progression principles
Coherent framework, spiral curriculum.
Singapore’s Mathematics Curriculum Framework in which mathematical problem solving is the central focus is at the center of the curriculum design of TM Mathematics. The framework stresses conceptual understanding, skills proficiency and mathematical processes and duly emphasizes metacognition and attitudes. It also reflects the 21st century competencies.
Mathematics is hierarchical in nature. TM Mathematics has a focused and coherent content framework and developmental continuum in which higher concepts and skills are built upon the more foundational ones. This spiral approach in the building up of content across the levels is expressed as four Learning Progression Principles that are a composite of the successful practices and lear ning standards of the top performing nations, and, are unique to TM Mathematics.
careful spiral sequence of successively more complex ways of reasoning about mathematical concepts – the learning progressions within – make the curriculum at the same time, rigorous and effective for all learners.
Learning
Progression Principle 1:
Deep focus on fewer topics builds a strong foundation.
The early learning of mathematics is deeply focused on the major work of each grade— developing concepts underlying arithmetic, the skills of arithmetic computation and the ability to apply arithmetic. This is done to help students gain strong foundation, including a solid understanding of concepts, a high degree of procedural skill and fluency, and the ability to apply the math they know to solve problems inside and outside the classroom.
Across
Learning Progression Principle 2:
Sequencing within strands supports in-depth and efficient development of mathematics content.
Topics within strands are sequenced to support in-depth and efficient development of mathematics content. New learning is built on prior knowledge. This makes learning efficient, while revisiting concepts and skills at a higher level of difficulty ensures in-depth understanding.
Example
Strand: Numbers and Operations
Grade 1
Topic: Numbers 0 to 10
Development of number sense
• counting
• reading and writing numbers
• comparing numbers
• by matching • by counting
Topic: Number Bonds
Number bonds (part-part-whole relationship):
• 3 and 2 make 5.
• 4 and 1 make 5.
Topic: Addition
Addition (part-part-whole):
• 3 + 2 = 5 part part whole
Topic: Subtraction
Subtraction (part-part-whole):
• 5 – 3 = 2 whole part part
Topic: Numbers to 20
• counting and comparing
• ordering
Topic: Addition and Subtraction
• Addition within 20
• Subtraction within 20
• Students first learn to count, read and write numbers and to compare numbers.
• The concept of number bonds, that the whole is made up of smaller parts, builds on students’ knowledge of counting and comparing.
• The part-part-whole relationship between numbers forms the foundation for understanding addition and subtraction, and the relationship between these operations.
• Counting and comparing are revisited at a higher level of difficulty and are extended to ordering.
• Addition and subtraction are revisited and the concept of regrouping is introduced.
Learning Progression Principle 3:
Sequencing of learning objectives within a topic across grades is based on a mathematically logical progression.
Learning objectives within a topic are sequenced across grades according to a mathematically logical progression.
Example
Strand: Numbers and Operations
Topic: Fractions
Grade 1:
• Halves and quarters
Grade 2:
• Halves, thirds and quarters
• Naming fractions with denominator up to 12
Grade 3:
• Comparison of fractions
• Equivalent fractions
• Addition and subtraction of like and related fractions within 1 whole
Grade 4:
• Mixed numbers and improper fractions
• Fraction and division
• Addition and subtraction of like and related fractions greater than 1 whole
• Multiplication of a fraction and a whole number
Grade 5:
• Addition and subtraction of unlike fractions
• In grades 1 and 2, conceptual understanding of fractions is developed. Students lear n to recognize and name fractions.
• In grade 3, students learn to compare fractions. Equivalent fractions are introduced to help students add and subtract fractions.
• In grades 4 and 5, mixed numbers and improper fractions are introduced. The complexity of operations is also expanded to cover fractional numbers greater than one whole as well as multiplication and division.
Learning Progression Principle 4: Purposeful sequencing of learning objectives across strands deepens links and strengthens conceptual understanding.
The ordering of content for one topic is frequently aligned to reinforce the content of another topic across strands.
Example
Grade 1
Strand: Numbers and Operations
Chapter 16
Topic: Fractions
Learning objective: Recognize and name one half of a whole which is divided into 2 equal halves.
Strand: Measurement
Chapter 18
Topic: Time
Learning objective: Tell time to the half hour
Chapter 16
• Fractions are introduced prior to the lesson on telling time to the half hour so that students will be able to make the connection between the visual representation of halves in fractions and the representation of the half hour on a clock face.
• As students lear n to tell time to the half hour, the concept of halves, learned in a prior chapter, is reinforced.
Chapter 18
TM Mathematics covers all the curriculum standards and topics in the curricula of Singapore, Hong Kong and Republic of South Korea. It also completely covers the Cambridge Primary Mathematics curriculum. Additional topics are also available in the Teaching Hub for alignment to different education systems.

Unit 2: Addition and Subtraction Without Regrouping
2.1 Adding a 1-digit number to a 2-digit number
Let's Learn Let's Learn
Objectives:
•Add a 1-digit number and a 2-digit number without regrouping using the ‘counting on’ method, number bonds and place value
•Check the answer to an addition by using a different strategy
Materials:
•2 bundles of 10 straws and 4 loose straws
•Base ten blocks
Resources:
•CB: pp. 27–29
•PB: pp. 23–24
Stage: Concrete Experience
Write: Add 21 and 3. Show students two bundles of 10 straws, and 1 loose straw. Highlight to them that each bundle has 10 straws.
Ask: How many straws are there here? (21)
Add another 3 loose straws to the 21 straws.
Ask: How many straws are there now? (24)
Say: When we add 3 straws to 21 straws, we get 24 straws.
(a) Stages: Pictorial and Abstract Representations
Draw a number line with intervals of 1 from 21 to 26 as shown in (a) on CB p. 27 on the board.
Say: We can add by counting on using a number line.
Have students add 21 and 3 by counting on
3 ones from 21. (21, 22, 23, 24) As students count on, draw arrows on the number line as shown on the page.
Ask: Where do we stop? (24)
Say: We stop at 24. When adding a number to 21, we start from 21 and count on because we add. We count on 3 ones because we are adding 3.
Write: 21 + 3 = 24
(b) Stage: Abstract Representation Say: Another way to add is by using number bonds. Show students that 21 can be written as 20 and 1 using number bonds. Write: 21 + 3 = 20 1 Say: First, add the ones. Ask: What do we get when we add 1 and 3? (4) Say: Now, add the tens to the result. We add 20 to 4. Elicit the

Unit 1: Sum and Difference
1.1 Understanding the meanings of sum and difference
Let's Learn
Objectives:
•Associate the terms ‘sum’ and ‘difference’ with addition and subtraction respectively
•Use a part-whole bar model or a comparison bar model to represent an addition or subtraction problem
Materials:
•Connecting cubes in two colors
•Markers in two colors
Resources:
•CB: pp. 25–26
•PB: p. 22
Vocabulary:
Suggested instructional procedures are provided for the concrete, pictorial and abstract stages of learning.
Let's Do Let's
Task 1 requires students to associate the terms ‘sum’ and ‘difference’ with addition and subtraction respectively.
Task 2 requires
Let's Practice
Tasks 1 and 3 require students to associate the term ‘sum’ with addition.
Tasks 2 and 4 require students to associate the term ‘difference’ with subtraction.
•difference
•sum
(a)
Stage: Concrete Experience Have students work in pairs. Distribute connecting cubes in two colors, for example, red and blue, to each pair and have students follow each step of your demonstration. Join 3 red connecting cubes to show 3. Then, join 8 blue connecting cubes to show 8.
Ask: How many red cubes do you see? (3) How many blue cubes do you see? (8)
Join the bar of red cubes and the bar of blue cubes together.
Ask: How many cubes are there altogether? (11)
Stage: Pictorial Representation
Use two markers in different colors to draw a part-whole bar model with 3 equal units and 8 equal units to illustrate the numbers 3 and 8, as shown by the connecting cubes. Relate this model to the earlier connecting cubes activity. Erase the lines between the units in the bar model to create a simplified version of the model as shown on the right in (a) on CB p. 25.
Say: This is a bar model.
Point out that the length of each part of the model corresponds to the number of connecting cubes of each color.
Say: The two parts form a whole. This model shows the total or the sum of 3 and 8. The sum of two numbers is the total of the two numbers.
We found earlier that the total of 3 cubes and 8 cubes is 11 cubes, so the sum of 3 and 8 is 11.
Separate the bar of connecting cubes into its two parts, 3 and 8, again. Place the bar of 3 cubes above the bar of 8 cubes and left align the bars.
Say: Notice that the total number of cubes has not changed. Let us represent the sum of 3 and 8 in another model.
Draw the comparison bar model as shown in the thought bubble in (a) on the page.
Conclude that we can represent the sum in two types of bar models.
Stage: Abstract Representation
Say: We want to find the sum of 3 and 8. The sum of 3 and 8 is the total of 3 and 8. We find the sum by adding the two numbers.
Write: 3 + 8 = 11
Say: The sum of 3 and 8 is 11.
(b) Stage: Concrete Experience
Have students continue to work in pairs and follow each step of your demonstration.
Reuse the two bars of connecting cubes formed in (a). Place the bar of 3 cubes above the bar of 8 cubes and left align the bars.
Ask: How many red cubes are there? (3) How many blue cubes are there? (8) Which bar is shorter, the bar of red cubes or the bar of blue cubes? (Red cubes) Which is less, 3 or 8? (3)
Say: Let us find out how many more blue cubes than red cubes there are by counting the number of cubes.

•Place value disks
•PB: pp. 9–10
(a) Cut out the place value cards in BM1.1.
Stage: Concrete Experience
Show students 10 hundred-squares.
Ask: How many hundreds are there? (10)
Join the hundred-squares to make a thousand-block. Count by hundreds while joining the hundred-squares.
Say: There are 10 hundreds. 10 hundreds is equal to 1 thousand. We use a thousand-block to represent 1 thousand.
Stages: Pictorial and Abstract Representations
Have students look at the base ten blocks in (a) on CB p. 3.
Write: 10 hundreds = 1 thousand
Say: 10 hundreds is equal to 1 thousand.
(b) Stage: Concrete Experience
Use base ten blocks to represent 2354.
Say: Let us count on to find the number that the base ten blocks represent. 1000, 2000, 2100, 2200, 2300, 2310, 2320, 2330, 2340, 2350, 2351, 2352, 2353, 2354.

Say: The base ten blocks represent 2354. Distribute place value disks to each student.
Say: Let us use place value disks to represent 2354.
Show a thousand disk and a thousand-block. Point to the thousand disk.
Say: This is a thousand disk. It represents 1000. A thousand-block and a thousand disk represent the same value.
Note that unlike the base ten blocks where each unit cube represents 1 one, each place value disk represents 1 unit of a place value, such as 1 ten or 1 thousand.
Ask: How many thousand disks do you need to represent 2 thousands? (2)
Have students place 2 thousand disks on their tables. Similarly, introduce a hundred disk, a ten disk and a one disk and have students place 3 hundred disks, 5 ten disks and 4 one disks, respectively, on their tables.
Say: Let us count on to find the number that the place value disks represent.
Guide students to point to each place value disk as they count.
Say: The place value disks represent 2354.
Stage: Pictorial Representation
Have students look at the base ten blocks and place value disks in (b) on CB p. 3.
Ask: What number do the base ten blocks and place value disks represent? (2354) How many thousands are there? (2)
Stick the place value card ‘2000’ on the board. Ask similar questions about the hundreds, tens and ones and stick the corresponding place value cards on the board. Overlap the place value cards to show 2354 as done in (b) on the page.
Say: 2000, 300, 50 and 4 make 2354.
Stage: Abstract Representation
Write: 2000 + 300 + 50 + 4 = 2354

(a) Stage: Pictorial Representation
Draw the number line in (a) on CB p. 15 on the board but do not label ‘197’.
Guide students to see that there are 10 equal intervals between 190 and 200 and each interval stands for 1.
Invite a student to mark 197 on the number line. Say: 197 is between two tens—190 and 200. Ask: How many intervals are there from 190 to 197? (7) How many intervals are there from 197 to 200? (3) Is 197 nearer to 190 or to 200? (200)
Stage: Abstract Representation
Say: Since 197 is nearer to 200 than it is to 190, we say 200 is the ten nearest to 197. When we round 197 to the nearest ten, we get 200.
Write: 197 ≈ 200
Say: We read this statement as ‘197 is approximately 200’.

Let's Learn Let's Learn
Objective:
•Round a 4-digit number to the nearest thousand
Resources:
•CB: pp. 17–18
•PB: p. 19
(a) Stage: Pictorial Representation
Draw the number line in (a) on CB p. 17 on the board.
Say: We have learned to round numbers to the nearest ten and hundred. Now, let us learn to round numbers to the nearest thousand. Let us round 1297 to the nearest thousand.
Ask: What are the thousands on this number line? (1000 and 2000)
Point to the halfway mark on the number line and have students observe that 1297 is less than halfway between 1000 and 2000.
Ask: Is 1297 nearer to 1000 or to 2000? (1000)
Stage: Abstract Representation
Say: Since 1297 is nearer to 1000 than it is to 2000, we say 1000 is the thousand nearest to 1297. We say 1297 is 1000 when rounded to the nearest thousand.
Write: 1297 ≈ 1000
Say: 1297 is approximately 1000.
3.4 Rounding numbers to the nearest thousand
(b) and (c) Stages: Pictorial and Abstract Representations
Follow the procedure in (a) on TG p. 16. For (c), point out that when a number is halfway between two thousands, the greater thousand is to be taken as the nearest thousand. In this case, the greater thousand is 5000.
Conclude that to round a number to the nearest thousand, we look at the digit in the hundreds place. If it is 5 or greater, we round up. If it is less than 5, we round down.

Objective:
•Solve a non-routine problem involving numbers to 10 000 using the strategy of looking for a pattern
Resource:
•CB: pp. 19–20
Vocabulary:
•ter m
Have students read the problem on CB p. 19.
1. Understand the problem. Pose the questions in the thought bubble in step 1.
2. Plan what to do.
Point out to students that they can look for a pattern to find out what number they need to add to the 19th term to get the 20th term.
3. Work out the Answer
Copy the number pattern on the board. Ask: What is the difference between the 1st and the 2nd terms? (3)
Continue to find the difference between the subsequent pairs of consecutive numbers in the pattern.
Copy the table on the page on the board. Have students look at the numbers in the last two rows of the table.
Ask: What do you notice about the numbers in these two rows? (Answer varies. Sample: Each number in the last row is 1 more than the number above it.)
Say: To find the next term, we add a number that is 1 more than the position number of the term to the previous term. For example, the 1st term of this pattern is 6. To find the 2nd term, we need to add ‘1 more than 2’ to the 1st term. So, we need to add 3 to the 1st term, 6, to get the 2nd term, 9.

Let's Learn Let's Learn
The numbers in a number pattern are called terms Look at the number pattern below. 6, 9, 13, 18, 24, 31 1st 2nd 3rd
What number do we add to the 19th term to get the 20th term?
Ask: What is the position number of the 20th term? (20) To get the 20th term, what number should we add to the 19th term? (21) How did you get this answer? (Find 1 more than 20.)
Say: To get the 20th term, we add ‘1 more than 20’ to the 19th term. 1 more than 20 is 21. So, we add 21 to the 19th term to get the 20th term.
4. Check if your answer is correct. Have students check the answer by checking that the number of terms from the 2nd term to the 20th term is the same as the number of numbers from 3 to 21.
5. + Plus Solve the problem in another way. Have students try to solve the problem in a different way.
Have 1 or 2 students share their methods. If students are unable to solve the problem in a different way, explain the method shown on CB p. 20.
Ask: Which method do you prefer? Why? (Answers vary.)
EXPLORE
Have students go back to the word problem on CB p. 2. Get them to write down in column 3 of the table what they have learned that will help them solve the problem, and then solve the problem.
