Description:
Conquer
Model Drawing For Upper Primary Levels is one of the titles
in a series of two books – specially conceived and developed to encapsulate the
essence of mathematical modelling and harness students’ cognitive skills to
solve word problems. The books cover all topics in the curriculum: Numbers,
Measurements, Fractions, Decimals, Ratio, Average, Percentage and Speed.
In Primary Mathematics, applications and modelling are
problem solving processes that allow students to connect mathematics learned to
the real world, thereby enhancing the understanding of key concepts and methods
as well as developing mathematical competencies.
Target Group:
Primary levels 1 to 6 (7 – 12 years)
Key Features of Conquer Model Drawing For Upper Primary
Levels :
• Covers all 8 Core Topics including Numbers, Measurements, Fractions,
Decimals, Ratio, Average, Percentage and Speed.
• Different Model Types introduced and explained within units. Helpful Notes
and Tips to help students understand model drawing and labeling better.
• Full Worked Solutions with explanatory text and clearly + accurately
illustrated model diagrams.
• Free Online Examples and Exercises related to relevant topics and concepts.
Unique Selling Advantages (USAs):
• One and only. The book is current, relevant, and the only contemporary model
drawing trainer in the market.
• There are Showcased Complex Higher-order Models involving sub-units and
‘nano- units’, alternative strategies (e.g. the unitary method) are also
presented. Every possible core curricular topic bearing word problems is
‘Model-infused’
• Equipped with adaptive learning with Analytics Intelligence that identify
students strengths and weaknesses, and help recommend worksheets to overcome
the areas that students can improve on.
Why draw a model?
Modelling, in particular, is the process of formulating and improving a
mathematical model to solve real-world problems. Through mathematical
modelling, students learn to deal with ambiguity, make connections, select and
apply appropriate mathematics concepts and skills, identify assumptions and
reflect on the solutions, and make informed decisions based on given or
collected data. In other words, a student learns to read a problem, assess the
known and unknown, draw a model to represent the problem, and in the process,
simplify the problem to see a solution.
Graded
The topics, and therefore, the questions, are graded for effective progressive
learning. Examples appended with clear notes and instructions serve to help
students understand the concept behind each model drawing. Exercises are
designed to teach the use of these models for problem solving.
Solutions
The step-by-step solutions provide a comprehensive learning experience for
students, enabling them to master the mathematical skill of model drawing.
