Fun in Learning Mathematics
"How to write an algebraic expression from the problem?"
"Dad/Mum, can you teach/show me how to form an algebraic equation from the question?"
Have you ever asked these?
Bridging from Model to Algebra in Problem Solving
I am a private tutor, who is currently teaching the secondary Elementary & Additional Mathematics in Singapore. Recently my Sec 1 students did very well in their examinations as I imposed my new methodology for the topic of 'Algebra' since the beginning of this year. 
Quite often, before secondary school teachers teaching the topic of Algebra, they ask the Sec 1 students to forget or "throw away" the model method (what the students have learnt in the pst 6 years in Primary school). It is definitely a wrong strategy. In fact, there is a close link between the two.
- I collected a total of 30 problem solving questions which are required to be solved by 30 different types of model drawings.
- Solve them using the Algebraic method.
- Add in the links, hints and full explanations.
My students are able to understand the two methods well. They have no problem in writting/forming algebraic expressions and equations in any problem solving questions.
If you (individual student/parent) would like to know the secret formula. Email me and I will reply you asap.
