A couple of days ago, we celebrated mom's 60th birthday. We just made the celebration simple because we couldn't also invite many people due to the COVID-19 health protocol in our city. As a creative gal (I claimed, hehe), I made the decorations myself in a gold and black theme because this is what I saw online after my research. At first, it was a little bit off because I didn't like a black design but when I saw the output, I loved what I was seeing. Mom liked it very much and she was happy with the design.
Materials used:
- gold aluminum foil (3 pieces)
- black crepe paper (3 pieces)
- black balloon (10 pieces)
- gold balloon (10 pieces)
- white balloon (5 pieces)
- gold table cloth
- sliding tape
- masking tape
- black cartolina (2 pieces)
I couldn't believe Psalm just turned 4 last month. How time really flies!
Psalm's birthday was the most simple one because it so happened during this time of crisis. Aside from that, we are not allowed to celebrate in a big crowd so we decided to just invite a few relatives close to us.
She chose Harry Potter herself as her birthday theme. It was kind of strange because I was expecting she would choose a unicorn or princess theme. But since we started watching the 7 episodes of the Harry Potter movie, she became a huge fan of it. As a matter of fact, even before her birthday came, she kept requesting me to buy cake, toys, and clothes with the characters of Harry Potter in it. So without further ado, I would like to share with you our pictures.
The Block Model Approach helps students solve word problems involving fractions easily using bars.
In this video, I gave two examples:
1. Gina had P420. She spent 1/3 of her money on food and saved the rest. How much money did she save?
2. Betty spent 4/5 of her money on food and spent the remainder on drinks. She spent P12 on drinks. How much money had Betty at first?
Block model approach or Singaporean Math helps children visualize a problem situation using bar models. Thus, it helps them solve problems easily.
In this video, I gave three examples:
1. Mr Donald had 456 oranges. He sold 178 of them and threw away 49 rotten oranges. How many oranges had he left?
2. John has 20 marbles. He gave 3/5 of it to Peter. How many marbles did John give to Peter?
3. Ann had five books. Bill gave her more 7 books. How many books did Ann have altogether?
I will be sharing more problems soon. Stay tuned!
