Extra tips for UPSR / Guidance


BASIC STEPS

a) Learn the simple concept such as Whole Number, Addition and Subtraction,Cancellation, Easy Fraction and Decimal
b) Once you master the above 6 basic chapters, learn to solve mix questions

Once you have master the 2 basic steps, plan the next chapters such as Percentages, Perimeters, Area and Volume. It would not be tough to learn if you have the right learning process. Rather than going through tropical test, start off the basic 2 steps as describe above is recommended.

Basic Math Topics
Whole Number Includes
a) Place Value
b) Digit Value
c) Rounding Off to tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands

Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication and Division
a) Learn how to compute
b) Memorize the Multiplication table (2 till 12) * Parents must provide punishment to the child who fail to memorized*
C) Learn the rule of BODMAS
(* Punishment must be compulsory to child who failed to memorized the Multiplication table)

Decimal and Fraction
a) Learn about Adding, Subtracting, Multiplication and Division
b) Changing fraction to mix numbers
c) Change from decimal to fractions and fractions to decimal

Cancellation
a) Simple Fractions using mental division ** Very Important**
b) Simple Adding and Subtracting using  grouping ** Very Important**

Money

Example 1

RM 54 285 – RM 46 776 ÷ 8 =

Solution :


RM 54 285 – RM 46 776 ÷ 8
= RM 54 285 – RM 5 847
= RM 48 438

Example 2 :

 RM 58.35 + RM 4.50 – (RM 14.80 + 65 sen) =

Solution :
RM 58.35 + RM 4.50 – (RM 14.80 + 65 sen)
= RM 58.35 + RM 4.50 – RM 15.45
= RM 62.85 – RM 15.45
= RM 47.40


Example 3 : 

The diagram shows the cost price of a watch. Zaki gets a discount of RM1.90 on each watch.




How much does he have to pay for 20 watches?


20 × (RM 29.90 – RM 1.90)
= 20 × RM 28
= RM 560
   
Zaki has to pay RM 560 for 20 watches.

MIixed Operations With Numbers Up To Seven Digits

1) In a mixed operation involving multiplication and addition or subtraction, do the multiplication first.

Example 1 : 39 + 125 × 7 =

Solution :    39 + 125 × 7
              =  39 + 875
        =  914

2) In a mixed operation involving division and addition or subtraction, do the division first.

Example 2 : 101 – 54 ÷ 9 =

Solution :   101 – 54 ÷ 9
             =  101 – 6
       =  95

3) In a mixed operation involving brackets, do the operation in the brackets first.

Example 3 : (288 + 120) ÷ 12 =

Solution :    (288 + 120) ÷ 12 =
                 = 408 ÷ 12
           = 34

Example 4 : (308 – 72) × (81 – 44) =


Solution :   (308 – 72) × (81 – 44)
              =  236 × 37
        =  8 732

Example 5 : 
There are a total of 200 red pens and blue pens in a box. The number of red pens is 50. A worker packs all the blue pens in equal numbers into 10 plastic bags. Find the number of blue pens in each plastic bag.

Solution: 

200 red pens and blue pens in a box

50 of them are red pens.

All the blue pens are packed into 10 plastic bags.

   (200 – 50) ÷ 10
=  150 ÷ 10
=  15
   
The number of blue pens in each plastic bag is 15.

Example 5 : The incomplete table shows the number of calculators produced by a factory in three years.



The total number of calculators produced by the factory was 147 536. Find the number of calculators produced in the year 2008.

Solution :

30 142 calculators were produced in the year 2006.
68 200 calculators were produced in the year 2007.

Total number of calculators produced in the three years was 147 536.

147 536 - 30 142 - 68 200
= 117 394 - 68 200
= 49 194

The number of calculators produced in the year 2008 was 49 194.

Whole Numbers

Hello math lovers! I am so excited to write a blog especially it is about my favourite subject which is MATHEMATICS. Let me begin with the history of mathematics before lessons are given here. 



We know that there are different types of number system from one culture to another. Take for examples, Arabic numbers, Roman numbers, Chinese numbers and Babylonian numbers.
https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8HS17F-zGm-_XgCMnkW4B_kmwpZd-4Lq1xngz6caEdf08lyCR2DwiRXFURxtHzJIxwD16OhvFFu0hMh7fOHoP8Mm-co9sWVv8Avy4d3gTvo9luPsiEjS-6WBAvhINwfxU27rmKl155Z8/s1600/pixel-vfl3z5WfW.gif

As we can see, there are many symbols to represent numbers in Egyptian number systems.


This inscription, found in Rome, reads M D LXXXIII or 1583.

We are using Arabic numerals universally such as 0, 1, 2, 3….9 which students have learnt since kindergarten. As for the standard of students in year 5, numbers up to 1,000,000 will be taught.

 Name and write numbers up to 1,000,000

1) Every digit in a whole number has its own value and place value.

Example 1: Write the number 734 043 in words.

Solution:  Seven hundred thirty-four thousand and forty-three

2) Whole numbers can be written as decimals or fractions of a million or vice versa.

Example 2 : a) Write 4 900 000 as a decimal of a million.

                     b) Write 250 000 as a fraction of a million.

Solution:   a) 4900 000 =   4 900 000  
                                            1 000 000

                                       = 4.9 million

                    b) 250 000  =  250 000  
                                           1 000 000

                                       =   25  million
                                         100

                                      =  1   million
                                         4
Example 3 : Write the following as whole numbers.
                     a) 0.062 million                  b) 2  1 
                                                                        4

Solution: a) 0.0062 million = 0.0062 x 1 000 000
                                        =  62 000

              b)  2  1  million =  2  1   x 1 000 000 
                       4                       4

                                        = 2.25 x 1 000 000

                                       = 2 250 000

3) A whole number can be rounded off to a required nearest place value.


Example 4 : Round off 256 132 to the nearest ten thousand.

Solution: 256 132 become 260 000
                   (6 is more than 5)
