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!
