Maths

L.O. To solve one step word problems (applying)

SC1: I can identify the operation.

SC2: I can write the calculation.

SC3: I can solve the problem.

Please watch today’s video tutorial:

Task 1 at 1:27: identify which operation to use and represent

the problem in a bar model for this question:

 Jason starts with 49 crayons. James removes 42 of them.

How many crayons

does Jason have now?

Task 2 at 2:57: solve 49-42

Task 3 at 4:37: identify which operation to use and represent the

problem in a bar model for this question:

 If there are 7 marbles in a box and Gregory puts 73 more

marbles in

the box. How many marbles are in the box?

Task 4 at 5:32: solve 73+7

Task 5 at the end of the video: play the board game which is

on the class page as shown in the video. If you don’t have a die,

you can use the spinner. Each time you land on a Q, you need

to solve a word problem from the problems on the class page.

Choose challenge 1, 2 or 3 for this. Challenge 1: one step

problems with fewer words and simpler calculations.

Challenge 2: one step problems with similar language and

calculations in the video. Challenge 3: create your own word

problems

and try to make these as challenging as possible.

If your partner agrees that you have solved the problem

correctly,

move forward an extra 2 spaces.

If you have got it wrong, work out where you went wrong –

if you can do this, move forward an extra 1 space.
