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.
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.
2.1 Identifying different types of quadrilaterals
Let's Learn Objectives: •State the properties of a rectangle, a square, a parallelogram, a rhombus and a trapezoid •Identify rectangles, squares, trapezoids, parallelograms and
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.

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.
Suppose the number is 10.
Stage 1: 10 + 20 = 30
Stage 2: 30 – 5 = 25
Stage 3: 25 + 20 = 45
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.

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
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.
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.
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.

Using the bar model method
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.
U Understand the problem.
• If your answer is not correct, go back to Step 1. 1 2 3 4 5
• Can you describe the problem in your own words?
• What information is given?

+ Plus
• Is there another way to solve this problem?
• Compare the methods.
• Which is the better method? Why?
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 tasks help teachers understand students’ thinking process through a concept.
Teacher-led enquiry through purposeful questions
Let's Practice 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 Let's Learn
Objectives:
• Observe the commutative and distributive properties of multiplication
• Relate two multiplication facts using ‘3 more’ or ‘3 less’
• Build up the multiplication table of 3 and commit the multiplication facts to memory
Materials:
• Dot Card F (BM10.1): 1 copy per group, 1 enlarged copy for demonstration
• Dot Card G (BM10.2): 1 copy per group, 1 enlarged copy for demonstration
•Counters
Resources:
There are 18 pears altogether.
Gathering information
• CB: pp. 195–197 • PB: p. 127
(a) Stage: Concrete Experience Draw 6 circles on the board and stick 3 counters in each circle.
Ask: How many counters are there in each group? (3) How many groups are there? (6)
Say: We have 6 groups of 3 counters.
Stage: Pictorial Representation
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. I 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
Making the mathematics visible
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 TM – 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.
Assessment for learning
TM Mathematics enables every child to succeed by integrating formative and summative assessment with instruction for effective teaching and independent learning.
When instruction is informed by insights from assessment, students are more engaged and take greater ownership of their learning.
Formative assessment
Formative assessment is a vital part of the ongoing, interactive process by which teachers gather immediate insight about students’ learning to inform and support their teaching.
Let’s Do
Let's Do at each step of concept development are formative and diagnostic assessments. They assess the student’s learning and level of conceptual understanding to provide timely feedback to teachers.
1. Divide. Use the related
Let’s Do enables teachers to immediately assess students’ understanding of the concepts just taught and identify remediation needs.
Task 1 assesses students’ understanding of division by 5 at the pictorial and abstract levels.
Task 2 assesses students’ understanding of division by 5 at the abstract level.
Practice
Purposeful Practice tasks in print and digital formats complement and extend learning. They encourage students to develop deep conceptual understanding and confidence to work independently. Practice tasks also serve as for mative and diagnostic assessment providing essential information to students and teachers on learning progress.

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 answer from

Unit 1: Sum and Difference
1.1 Understanding the meanings of sum and difference
Let's Learn 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
Task
Task
Let's
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.

Stage: Abstract Representation
Write: 730 650, 720 650, 72 650
Copy the place value chart on CB p. 6 on the board without filling in the numbers.
Say: Let us compare these three numbers using a place value chart.
Invite three students to fill in the place value chart to show the numbers 730 650, 720 650 and 72 650.
Say: When we compare numbers, we begin by comparing the digits in the highest place value.
Ask: What is the highest place value in this place value chart? (Hundred thousands)
Say: Look at the three numbers in the place value chart.
Ask: Which number does not have hundred thousands? (72 650) So, what can we say about this number? (It is the least.)
Say: Let us now compare the two remaining numbers, 730 650 and 720 650. The number of hundred thousands is the same so we compare the digits in the next place value, the ten thousands place.
Ask: What is the digit in the ten thousands place in 730 650? (3) What is the digit in the ten thousands place in 720 650? (2) Which is greater, 3 ten thousands or 2 ten thousands? (3 ten thousands)
Say: Since 3 ten thousands is greater than 2 ten thousands, 730 650 is greater than 720 650.
Write: 730 650 > 720 650
Ask: So, which number is the greatest? (730 650)

Unit 2 Estimation
1. Round each number.
2.1 Rounding whole numbers to the nearest ten, hundred or thousand
a)
In 7343, the digit in the ones place is 3. 7343 is nearer to 7340 than to 7350. So, we round down.
7343 is 7340 when rounded to the nearest ten. 7343 ≈ 7340
b)
In 48 776, the digit in the tens place is 7. 48 776 is nearer to 48 800 than to 48 700. So, we round up. 48 776 is 48 800 when rounded to the nearest hundred.
500 is when rounded to the nearest thousand.
To round a number to a place value, look at the digit on the right of the place value. If the digit is 5 or greater, round up. If the digit is less than 5, round down.

2.2 Estimating sums and differences
Let's Learn Let's Learn
Objectives:
• Estimate an answer in addition or subtraction using rounding and front-end estimation
•Check reasonableness of an answer in addition or subtraction
Resources:
•CB: pp. 9–11
•PB: p. 13
(a) Stage: Abstract Representation
Write: Find the sum of 4593 and 23 862. Say: First, let us find the sum of 4593 and 23 862. Have students add 4593 and 23 862.
Ask: What is the value of 4593 plus 23 862? (28 455)
Write: 4593 + 23 862 = 28 455
Method 1
Say: Let us check the answer using rounding. Ask: What do we get when we round 4593 to the nearest thousand? (5000) What do we get when we round 23 862 to the nearest thousand? (24 000)
Write: 4593 + 23 862 ≈ 5000 + 24 000
Say: In the addition sentence shown, we use the approximation sign to show that we are finding the estimated value of 4593 + 23 862, not the exact value of 4593 + 23 862.
Ask: What do we get when we add 5000 and 24 000? (29 000)
Write: 4593 + 23 862 ≈ 5000 + 24 000 = 29 000
Explain to students that the use of the equal sign is to indicate that we are finding the exact value of the sum of 5000 and 24 000.
Say: 28 455 is about 29 000. Since the exact value of the sum is close to the estimated value of the sum, we can say that our answer of 28 455 is reasonable. A reasonable answer is an answer that makes sense.
Method 2
Say: Let us check the answer using front-end estimation.
Ask: What is the leftmost digit of 4593? (4) Say: When we use front-end estimation, we keep the leftmost digit and change the other digits to zeros. So, 4593 is estimated as 4000.
2.2 Estimating sums and differences
Let's Learn
a) Find the sum of 4593 and 23 862.
4593 + 23 862 = 28 455
We can use estimation to check if the answer is reasonable.
Method 1: Using rounding
4593 + 23 862 ≈ 5000 + 24 000 = 29 000
28 455 is about 29 000. The answer is reasonable.
Method 2: Using front-end estimation
4593 + 23 862 ≈ 4000 + 20 000 = 24 000
28 455 is about 24 000. The answer is reasonable.
b) Find the difference between 5812 and 32 248.
32 248 – 5812 = 26 436
We can use estimation to check if the answer is reasonable.
32 248 – 5812 ≈ 32 000 – 6000 =
Is the answer 26 436 reasonable?
Method 2: Using front-end estimation
32 248 – 5812 ≈ 30 000 – 5000 =
Method 1: Using rounding 26 000 25 000 Yes Yes
Is the answer 26 436 reasonable?
Ask: Using front-end estimation, what is the estimated value of 23 862? (20 000)
Write: 4593 + 23 862 ≈ 4000 + 20 000
Ask: What is the estimated value of 4593 + 23 862? (24 000)
Say: 28 455 is about 24 000. Since the exact value is close to the estimated value, we can say that our answer of 28 455 is reasonable.
(b) Stage: Abstract Representation
Follow the procedure in (a). Point out that students can use rounding or front-end estimation to check the reasonableness of their answers in subtraction.
1. Find the sum or difference. Then, use estimation to check your answer.
a) 365 + 709 = 365 + 709 ≈ + = Is your answer reasonable?
b) 6740 – 1826 = 6740 – 1826 ≈ – = Is your answer reasonable?
1. Find the sum or difference. Then,
Let's Do Let's and Let's Practice Let's Practice
Task 1 requires students to find the sum or difference of two numbers before using estimation to check the reasonableness of their answers.
THINK ABOUT IT
Sarah and David get different estimated sums of 341 and 2138.
Who is correct? Why do you say so? Who is wrong? Why do you say so?
Both are correct. Sarah estimates the sum by rounding the numbers to the nearest hundred. David estimates the sum by rounding the numbers to the nearest ten.
No one is wrong. Sarah and David round the numbers to different place values so they get different estimated sums.
We can estimate sums by rounding numbers to the different place values. We can round the numbers to nearest ten, hundred or thousand before adding.
Think of a time in your daily life when estimation is useful.
It takes 12 minutes to walk from my house to the supermarket and 19 minutes to walk from the supermarket to the library. The library is 26 minutes away from my house.
12 + 19 + 26 ≈ 10 + 20 + 30 = 60
The journey would take about 1 hour if I visit the supermarket and the library.
I have learned to... round a whole number to the nearest ten, hundred or thousand estimate sums and differences
THINK ABOUT IT
Have students work in groups to discuss the tasks. Ask the groups to present their answers.
Guide students to observe that Sarah estimates the sum by rounding the numbers to the nearest hundred while David estimates the sum by rounding the numbers to the nearest ten. Have students work out the exact value of the sum and observe that the two estimates are close to the exact value. Conclude that both Sarah and David are correct.
Reiterate to students that we can estimate sums by rounding numbers to different place values. Point out that when a question asks for the estimated sum, students can choose to round the numbers to their preferred place value if it is not specified in the question.
Make use of the examples presented by the groups to let students understand the importance and usefulness of estimation.
Unit 3: Odd and Even Numbers
3.1 Adding and subtracting odd and even numbers
Let's Learn Let's Learn
Objective:
•Investigate and generalize the result of adding and subtracting odd and even numbers
Materials:
•Connecting cubes
Resources:
•CB: pp. 12–14
•PB: pp. 14–15
(a) Stage: Concrete Experience
Have students work in groups. Distribute connecting cubes to each group. Write the even numbers and the odd numbers from 1 to 10 on the board. Have a student pick two of the even numbers, for example, 4 and 2. Change the numbers in the following steps according to the numbers chosen by the student. Have the groups take out 4 connecting cubes and join the cubes to make 2 pairs.
Ask: Is 4 an odd number or an even number? (Even)
Say: Since there are no cubes left unpaired, 4 is an even number.
Have the groups take out 2 more connecting cubes and join the cubes to make a pair.
Ask: Are there any cubes left unpaired when you join the 2 cubes? (No) Is 2 an even number? (Yes)
How many cubes are there altogether? (6)
Are all the cubes paired? (Yes) Is 6 an odd number or an even number? (Even number)
Write: 4 + 2 = 6
Ask: Is each number in the addition sentence odd or even? (Even)
Write ‘even number’ below each number in the addition sentence. Guide students to conclude that they added an even number, 4, to an even number, 2, to get an even number, 6.
Stage: Pictorial Representation
Have students look at the first addition of the connecting cubes in (a) on CB p. 12. Relate the picture to the earlier activity and go through the example.
Stage: Abstract Representation
Ask: What pattern do you notice? (The sum of two even numbers is an even number.)
Say: We always get an even number when we add two even numbers because when all pairs are joined together, they still remain in pairs.
Unit 3 Odd and Even Numbers
3.1 Adding and subtracting odd and even numbers
Let's Learn
Stages: Concrete Experience and Pictorial Representation
Repeat the above procedure to guide students to add an odd number and an even number.
Stage: Abstract Representation
Ask: What pattern do you notice when we add an odd number and an even number? (The sum is always an odd number.)
Say: We always get an odd number when we add an odd number and an even number because there is one object left unpaired from the odd number.
Remind students of the commutative property of addition and point out that adding an even number and an odd number will also result in an odd number.
Stages: Concrete Experience, and Pictorial and Abstract Representations
Guide students to add two odd numbers using connecting cubes. Explain that when we add two odd numbers, there is one object left unpaired in each odd number. The two objects that are left unpaired can be paired. So, there are no objects left unpaired and the total is an even number.
Say: We always get an even number when we add two odd numbers.
(b) Stage: Concrete Experience
Have students continue to work in groups. Have a student pick two even numbers from 1 to 10, for example, 8 and 2. Change the numbers in the following steps according to the numbers chosen by the student. Have the groups take out 8 connecting cubes and join the cubes to make 4 pairs.
Say: Since there are no cubes left unpaired, 8 is an even number.
Have the groups remove 2 connecting cubes. Students should remove a pair of connecting cubes.
Ask: Is 2 an even number? (Yes)
Have students count the number of cubes left.
Ask: How many cubes are left? (6) Are all the cubes paired? (Yes) Is 6 an odd number or an even number? (Even number)
Write: 8 – 2 = 6
Ask: Is each number in the subtraction sentence odd or even? (Even)
Write ‘even number’ below each number in the subtraction sentence. Guide students to conclude that they subtracted an even number, 2, from an even number, 8, to get an even number, 6.
Stage: Pictorial Representation

Stage: Abstract Representation
Ask: What pattern do you notice when we subtract an even number from an odd number? (The difference is an odd number.)
Say: We always get an odd number when we subtract an even number from an odd number because after taking away pairs, the unpaired object from the odd number still remains.

Objective:
•Investigate and generalize the result of multiplying odd and even numbers
Materials:

Resources:
•CB: pp. 15–16
•PB: p. 16
Stage: Concrete Experience
Have students work in groups. Distribute connecting cubes to each group. Have a student pick two even numbers from 1 to 10, for example, 2 and 4. Change the numbers in the following steps according to the numbers chosen by the student.
Say: 2 × 4 is 2 groups of 4.
Have the groups make 2 groups of 4 connecting cubes and count the total number of cubes.
Ask: Is 2 an odd number or an even number? (Even number) Is 4 an odd number or an even number? (Even number) What is 2 × 4? (8) Is 8 an odd number or an even number?
(Even number)
Write: 2 × 4 = 8
Write ‘even number’ below each number in the multiplication sentence. Guide students to conclude that they have multiplied two even numbers, 2 and 4, to get an even number, 8.
Stage: Pictorial Representation

Stage: Abstract Representation
Explain to students that when we multiply two even numbers, we are putting together even groups of objects and the number of objects in each group is also even. So, all objects remain in pairs and the product is an even number. Say: We always get an even number when we multiply two even numbers.
Stages: Concrete Experience and Pictorial Representation
Repeat the above procedure to guide students to multiply an odd number and an even number.
Stage: Abstract Representation
Explain to students that when we multiply an odd number by an even number, we are putting together odd groups of objects but the number
of objects in each group is even. So, they are still in pairs and the product is an even number. Say: We will always get an even number when we multiply an odd number by an even number.
Stages: Concrete Experience, and Pictorial and Abstract Representations
Guide students to multiply an even number and an odd number using connecting cubes. Guide them to see the number of objects in each group is odd. So, there is an object left unpaired in each group. Since we are putting together even groups of objects, we can pair the objects left in every two groups to make a pair. Hence, the product is even.
Say: We always get an even number when we multiply an even number and an odd number.
Stages: Concrete Experience, and Pictorial and Abstract Representations
Guide students to multiply an odd number by an odd number using connecting cubes. Guide them to see that both the number of objects in each group and the number of groups is odd. So, even after pairing the unpaired objects from each group, there is an object left unpaired. Hence, the product is odd.

(a) Stage: Concrete Experience
Have students work in groups. Distribute unit cubes to each group.
Ask students to arrange 10 cubes in rows and ensure that every row has the same number of cubes. Have students make as many such arrangements as possible.
Ask students the following questions for each arrangement of cubes:
Ask: How many rows of cubes are there? (Answers vary.) How many cubes are there in each row? (Answers vary.) How many cubes are there altogether? (10)
Conclude that we can arrange 10 cubes in rows and columns in different ways.
Stages: Pictorial and Abstract Representations
Have students look at the first row of flowers in (a) on CB p. 17. Relate the flowers to the unit cubes.
Get students to write a multiplication sentence to find the total number of flowers.
Write: 1 × 10 = 10
Say: 10 is the product of 1 and 10. We call 1 and 10 the factors of 10.

Ask students which pairs of numbers can be multiplied to get 60 and write the multiplication sentences on the board.
4.1 Finding factors of a whole number Unit 4 Factors Let's Learn
Ask: Have you found all the pairs of numbers that can be multiplied to get 60? (Yes or no.)
How do you know? (Answers vary.)
Guide students to write the multiplication sentences with products of 60 systematically. Ask: What whole number and 1 can be multiplied to get 60? (60)
Write: 1 × 60 = 60
Ask: What whole number and 2 can be multiplied to get 60? (30)
Write: 2 × 30 = 60
Repeat the above procedure until you reach 7. Say: We cannot find a whole number that gives a product of 60 when multiplied by 7. So, 7 is not a factor of 60.
Continue to write multiplication sentences with products of 60. When you reach 10 × 6 = 60, point out that 10 × 6 = 6 × 10 and we write each pair of factors only once. So, we do not write 10 × 6 = 60. Stop writing multiplication sentences after 10 × 6 = 60 because all the factors are accounted for in the earlier multiplication sentences.
Ask: From the multiplication sentences, what are the factors of 60? (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30 and 60)

Say: The numbers that are multiplied to form the product are the factors of the number. So, a product can be divided by any of its factors and there will be no remainder.
Have a student divide 30 by 5 in the vertical form on the board.
Ask: Is there any remainder when 30 is divided by 5? (No)
Say: So, 30 can be divided by 5 exactly. This means 5 is a factor of 30.
(b) Stage: Abstract Representation

Repeat the above procedure for the remaining dot cards.
Ask: What is the pattern you notice in the dot cards? (Each dot card has one more row of 4 dots than the previous dot card.)
Have students look at the multiplication sentences. Guide them to see that these are multiplication facts in the multiplication table of 4.
Say: The products of the multiplication sentences are called multiples. 4, 8, 12 and 16 are multiples of 4.
Explain to students that a multiple of a number is the product of that number and another number. In this case, a multiple of 4 is the product of 4 and another number.
Unit 5 Multiples
Say: Look at the multiplication sentences again.
Ask: How are the multiplication sentences alike? (Every multiplication sentence has 4 as a factor.) Explain that a number is a factor of all its multiples. In this example, 4 is a factor of the multiples of 4. So, 4 is a factor of 4, 8, 12 and 16.

Write: 575
3If the sum of its digits is divisible by 3. Is 543 divisible by 3?
Check: 5 + 4 + 3 = 12 12 is divisible by 3.
So, 543 is divisible by 3.
4If the number formed by its last two digits is divisible by 4. Is 324 divisible by 4?
Check: 324
24 is divisible by 4.
So, 324 is divisible by 4.
5If the last digit is 0 or 5. Is 495 divisible by 5?
Check: 495
The last digit is 5.
So, 495 is divisible by 5.
10If the last digit is 0. Is 540 divisible by 10?

Say: 1 and 7 are factors of 7.
Ask: Can we arrange 7 circles in other ways so that every row has the same number of circles? (No)
Write: The factors of 7 are 1 and 7.
Say: The factors of 7 are 1 and 7. A number that has only two factors, 1 and the number itself, is a prime number. Since 7 has only two factors, 1 and 7, 7 is a prime number.

6.1 Identifying prime and composite numbers
Invite a student to draw 6 circles in another way so that every row has the same number of circles.
Ask questions similar to those above to derive the multiplication sentence 2 × 3 = 6 or 3 × 2 = 6.
Say: 2 and 3 are also factors of 6. The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Write: The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Ask: How many factors does 6 have? (4)
Say: 6 has more than 2 factors, so 6 is not a prime number. A number that has more than two factors is a composite number. So, 6 is a composite number.
Write: 6 is a composite number.
Ask: Is 1 a prime number or a composite number? (Answers vary.)
Have students discuss in pairs why they think 1 is a prime number or a composite number. Guide them to see that we can write 1 as a product of 1 and 1, and 1 = 1 × 1. This means that 1 has only one factor, 1.
Say: So, 1 is neither a prime number nor a composite number.
(c) Stages: Concrete Experience, and Pictorial and Abstract Representations
Distribute a copy of Number Chart (BM1.1) to each student.
Say: Let us use the number chart to find all the prime numbers within 100. First, cross out 1 as it is neither a prime number nor a composite number.
Have students cross out the number 1 on the number chart.
Ask: What are the factors of 2? (1 and 2) Is 2 a prime number? (Yes)
Say: Circle the number 2.
Lead students to see that multiples of 2 greater than 2 have at least three factors, 1, 2 and the number itself. So, multiples of 2 that are greater than 2 are not prime numbers.
Say: Cross out all the multiples of 2 that are greater than 2.
Ask: What are the factors of 3? (1 and 3) Is 3 a prime number? (Yes)
Say: Circle the number 3 and cross out the multiples of 3 that are greater than 3.
Explain to students that multiples of 3 greater than 3 have at least three factors, 1, 3 and the number itself. So, multiples of 3 that are greater than 3 are not prime numbers.
Ask: Which is the next prime number? (5) Why? (It has only two factors, 1 and 5.)
Say: Circle the number 5 and cross out the multiples of 5 that are greater than 5.
Continue this process until all the numbers in the number chart are circled or crossed out.
Say: All the numbers that are circled are the prime numbers between 1 and 100.
Ask: What type of numbers are the numbers that are crossed out? (Composite numbers except for the number 1.)
Say: All the numbers greater than 1 that are crossed out are the composite numbers between 1 and 100.
Guide students to use their number chart to identify if 39 is a prime number.
Ask: Is 39 a prime number? (No)

Write: 1 × 1 = 1
Draw a box around the counter on the board.
Point out to students that the shape of the box around the counter is a square. Have students relate this to the first picture of counters from the left on CB p. 30.
Next, stick 2 rows of 2 counters beside the first counter on the board as shown in the second picture of counters from the left on the page. Point out that there are 2 rows of 2 counters.
Write: 2 × 2 = 4
Draw a box around the 2 rows of 2 counters on the board.
Ask: What is the shape of the box around the second group of counters? (Square)
Have students relate this to the second picture of counters from the left on the page. Follow the same procedure for the third and fourth pictures of counters from the left on the page. Lead students to see that the boxes drawn around the group of 9 counters and the group of 16 counters are also squares.
Ask: What is the multiplication sentence we can write to find the number of counters in the third picture of counters? (3 × 3 = 9) What is the multiplication sentence we can write to find the number of counters in the fourth picture of counters? (4 × 4 = 16)
Write: 3 × 3 = 9 4 × 4 = 16
6.2 Identifying square numbers
Stage: Abstract Representation
Point to the single counter on the board.
Say: When we multiply a number by itself, we get the square of the number. Since 1 × 1 = 1, the square of 1 is 1. The square of a whole number is called a square number.
Write: square number
Highlight to students that all square numbers can be arranged in equal groups to form a square.
Write: 12 = 1
Explain to students that we use the index notation ‘2’ to represent 1 multiplied by itself, that is 1 × 1. Tell them that 12 is read as 1 squared. Point to the second group of counters on the board.
Say: Since 2 × 2 = 4, the square of 2 is 4. 2 squared is 4.
Write: 22 = 4
Follow the same procedure for ‘3 × 3 = 9’ and ‘4 × 4 = 16’ and lead students to see that the square of 3 is 9 and the square of 4 is 16.
Say: 1, 4, 9 and 16 are square numbers.

Let's Learn Let's Learn
Objective:
•Solve a non-routine problem involving factors and multiples using the strategy of logical reasoning
Resource: •CB: pp. 32–33
Have students read the problem on CB p. 32.
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 use logical reasoning to help them solve the problem.
3. Work out the Answer.
Have students read the first clue.
Ask: How can we tell if a number is even? (The last digit is 0, 2, 4, 6 or 8.)
Have students read the second clue. Ask: What is the range of numbers that could be the mystery number? (Numbers from 201 to 499.)
Have students read the third clue.
Ask: How do you identify multiples of 25? (Multiples of 25 end with ‘00’, ‘25’, ‘50’ or ‘75’.) What are the multiples of 25 that are between 200 and 500? (225, 250, 275, 300, 325, 350, 375, 400, 425, 450, 475)
Ask: Since the mystery number is an even number, what are the numbers that should be crossed out? (225, 275, 325, 375, 425 and 475)
Cross out 225, 275, 325, 375, 425 and 475.
Ask: The mystery number also has 7 as a factor. How can you use this clue to identify the mystery number? (Divide the remaining numbers by 7 to find the number which gives a quotient without any remainder.)
Ask five students to divide 250, 300, 350, 400 and 450 by 7 on the board.
Ask: What number can be divided by 7 exactly? (350) What is the mystery number? (350)
Say: The mystery number is 350.
4. Check if your answer is correct. Have students check the answer by matching each clue to the mystery number, 350.
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. 33.
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.

Unit 3 Odd and Even Numbers
You will learn to...
• tell if the sum or difference of odd and/or even numbers is odd or even • tell if the product of odd and/or even numbers is odd or even
3.1 Adding and subtracting odd and even numbers
Let's Learn
a) We can tell if a whole number is odd or even by pairing objects. An even number of objects can be grouped in pairs. An odd number of objects has 1 object left over after the other objects are grouped in pairs.
Do we get an odd or even number when we add two odd numbers?
Can the total number of objects be grouped in pairs without any left over?
even number + even number = even
odd number + odd number = even number
odd number + even number = odd number even number + odd number = odd number

Let's Learn
a)
1 × 7 = 7
The factors of 7 are 1 and 7.
Numbers that have only two factors, 1 and the number itself, are called prime numbers.
So, 7 is a prime number.
b) 1 × 6 = 6 2 × 3 = 6
The factors of 6 are 1, 2, 3 and 6.
Numbers that have more than two factors are called composite numbers.
So, 6 is a composite number
The number 1 has only one factor. 1 × 1 = 1
It is neither a prime number nor a composite number.
Follow these steps to find all the prime numbers within 100.
Step 1: Cross out 1 in the number chart as it is neither a prime nor a composite number.
Step 2: 2 is the first prime number. Circle it and cross out all multiples of 2 that are greater than 2.
Step 3: 3 is the next prime number. Circle it and cross out all multiples of 3 that are greater than 3.
Step 4: 5 is the next prime number. Circle it and cross out all multiples of 5 that are greater than 5.
Step 5: Continue this process until all the numbers are circled or crossed out.
All the numbers greater than 1 that are crossed out are the composite numbers between 1 and 100. 12345678910 11121314151617181920
A multiple of 2 has 2 as a factor. This means that aside from the number 2, any multiple of 2 has other factors besides 1 and itself. So, it cannot be a prime number.
All the numbers that are circled are the prime numbers between 1 and 100. Is 39 a prime number?
Is 59 a prime number?
Is 96 a prime number?

350 is an even number. It is between 200 and 500. It is a multiple of 25 and has 7 as a factor.
My answer is correct.
The mystery number can be divided by 25 and 7 exactly. 25 × 7 = 175
The mystery number is a multiple of 175.
Find the multiples of 175.
1 × 175 = 175
2 × 175 = 350
3 × 175 = 525
Only 350 is between 200 and 500. 350 is an even number.
