you use?

18/5/20 L.I. To To solve single step word problems.

Have a look at the question below:
This part gives you all the
information you need.

This part is the actual

question. It tells you
what you need to find
out.
This is called a single step problem because you only need to do one operation to solve it.
The language is also a clue. It says How much change. That means that Amina had
something and she gave some of it away and we need to know how much is left.
That tells us this is a subtraction.

Because we know that you take the smaller amount away from the larger, we know the
larger amount must come first in the number sentence.
We also need to remember to write £2.00 because £2 looks smaller than £1.35 if we don’t
put the place holders in.

How much change did Amina get?

18/5/20 L.I. To To solve single step word problems.

One of the most useful strategies for problem solving is RUCSAC.

There were 35 children going to the match in cars. 4 children could fit in each one.
How many cars were needed?
First we Read the question.
Next we Underline the key information so we understand.
Then we Choose an operation (+ - x ÷).
Now we Solve it.
Then we Answer the question.
Finally, Check your working.
RUCSAC is important in this question because we have to share the children into cars:
35 ÷ 4 however this does not share equally.

What will we do with what is left over? Our answer must be a whole number because you
can only have WHOLE cars!

How many cars are needed to make sure ALL the children get to the match?

Here you can see that solve is different to answer.

19/5/20 L.I. To solve multi- step word problems.

We can also approach multi-step problems using RUCSAC.

The most important steps here
are Underline to understand
and Choose the operations. This
is because there is MORE THAN
ONE STEP so there will be MORE
THAN ONE OPERATION.

This question has 3 parts.

What do we need to know
to answer the question?
 Kidbrooke Park Primary School – Home Learning

19/5/20 L.I. To solve multi- step word problems.

We need to know:
The cost of 1 kg of potatoes

The cost of kg of carrots

Can you work out what kg

If 1kg = £1.50 of carrots costs?
Then kg is of £1.50

1kg = £1.50
kg = £0.75 (75p)

1 kg of potatoes = £1.50 + £0.75 = £2.25

Now we know:

Now we need to find out:

How much Jack Spent.
How much was left over (his change).

How much did Jack spend altogether on carrots and potatoes?

How much was left over from his £5.00 (what was his change)?

20/5/20 L.I. To solve problems involving measure.

As well as using RUCSAC, for measure problems we need to make sure we are using the
same values.
Look at this problem:
At the weekend I walked 2km. My Dad walked 500m further than me. How far did he
walk?

This is in km This is in m

Before we do anything, we need to make sure they are both the same. Metres are easier.
There are 1000m in 1km so 2km =2000m
Therefore, I walked 2000m and my dad walked 500m more than me (further).

How far did he walk?

Look at this problem:
I have 2.5 litres of petrol, I use 800ml, how much petrol do I have left?

What conversion do I have to make?

Is it easier to change both to L or both to ml?
Remember there are 1000ml in a L.

Convert the measures so they are the same then answer: How much petrol do I have left?

Explaining your reasoning in Maths is easy.
All you have to do is use maths to show why you think something.
Look at this question:

Before choosing yes or no, I need to check. Now I have to prove it :

First I will list the 5 times table : 5 10 15 20 No, because 2 x 5 = 10
and 4 x 5 = 20
These tell me he is wrong. It is that easy!
