Maths Heuristics

Here's a Quick Fact: 

The Curriculum Planning and Development Division (CPDD) of the Ministry of Education Singapore (MOE) has identified THIRTEEN different Maths heuristics for problem solving.​ 

In other words, your child should know these methods of solving word problems by the time they are sitting for their Maths PSLE exams.

Here's the solution without any model drawing

Important Heuristic Clue: Note that Tim's amount of money did not change in this scenarios

Heuristic method  Ratio + One constant change

If your child finds the above question challenging, unfortunately, this type of question is what Maths specialists considered as "basic" and commonly asked during exams

But, the good news is that there is plentiful of time for your child to pick up the necessary skills to prepare themselves for their next Maths examination - only if you act now!
