Let’s explore the
Model Approach
The use of Model Diagram
provides students with the means to:
(1) handle information
(2) deal with complexity and
(3) communicate their thinking
through the use of visuals which
they can manipulate.

Example of Part-whole Model
(Multiplication):
Siti has 5 dolls.
Each doll costs $6.
How much do 5 dolls cost altogether?
1 doll $6
5 dolls $6 × 5
= $30
Ans: $30
$6 $6 $6 $6 $6
?
Example of Comparison Model:
Kat bought 1345 balloons.
Dinah bought 2895 more balloons than Kat
How many balloons did Dinah buy?
Dinah’s Balloons 1345 + 2895 = 4240
Ans: 4240
1345 2895

Ask Praise Encourage
Math Tips for Parents • Work and communicate closely with your
child’s Maths Teacher.
• Follow up on homework – ask questions that
guide without telling them the answer.
• Train your child to show proper and detailed working steps.
• Train your child to check their answers.
• Relate Math concepts to daily life examples eg.
Is the table longer or shorter than one metre?
• Play mathematical games / puzzles.
• Provide a positive environment – encourage and praise your child’s effort.
Tips for parents
When your child encounters difficulties with homework, you can help by asking questions that guide, without telling them what to do.
