Teaching guide

What students learn

Use mathematical modelling for practical problems with rational numbers and percentages in financial contexts, then review how well the model fits.

How to teach it

Read it twice, underline the question and the numbers, draw a bar model or picture, choose the operation, then check the answer makes sense.

Worked example
Leo had 7 apples and gave away 1. How many apples are left?
Answer: 6
Why: subtract: 7 โˆ’ 1 = 6

Generated and checked in code, so it is correct.

Watch out for

Grabbing the numbers and guessing the operation from a key word instead of the situation (e.g. 'more' does not always mean add).
