Can I use all these cubes Preface Shaping Maths (rd Edition) is an instructional package written according to the 0 Ministry of Education, Singapore, primary mathematics syllabus. The package is designed to meet the learning needs of pupils from Primary to 6. The Primary 6 package consists of two Coursebooks, two Activity Books and two Teacher s Planning Guides. Approach Shaping Maths (rd Edition) adopts a thematic approach towards the learning of mathematics in the upper primary levels. These themes reflect various aspects of pupils lives and help provide a concrete framework for the mathematical concepts that pupils learn in class. Pupils learning is then reinforced through the use of pictures and icons before they are introduced to the formal symbolic mode of mathematical representation. The themes also provide an environment for pupils to experience the interdisciplinary nature of learning. Continuing research in education has resulted in the introduction of new features in the third edition. Through these features, educators are further equipped with various strategies in addressing teaching and learning needs. These features include hands-on activities, group/pair work and open-ended questions to encourage exploration and in-depth thinking among pupils. This will equip pupils well for the challenges of the st century. Features Colourfully illustrated unit openers encourage rich and active pupil participation in learning and connections to everyday life through whole class discussion. Aini, Bala and Caili each use unit cubes to build a cuboid.

David Group Activity Use unit cubes to build a cuboid that is different from the cuboids built by Aini, Bala and Caili. Find the length, breadth and height of your cuboid. AB 6B, p >> Recall 7 8 Unit Friends of Shaping Maths The themes of the Coursebook revolve around Aini, Bala, Caili and David. The characters stimulate pupils interest and heighten their involvement in the learning process.
Question classification helps teachers spend their time more effectively by using the appropriate questions to get pupils to master the necessary skills. Town U and Town V were 50 apart.
