FORM ONE MATHEMATICS: EXPLORING NUMBERS AND MORE!
SECTION A: Getting Started with Math (Let's Warm Up!)
- Imagine someone asks you, "What exactly is mathematics all about?" How would you explain it in your own words? [cite: 8, 9]
- Think of the main "branches" or big categories within mathematics. Can you name a few of them? [cite: 9]
- Believe it or not, math pops up in other school subjects too! Can you think of two examples of where you might use math in, say, science or geography? [cite: 9]
- If you had to read the number 5,281 out loud, what would you say? [cite: 10]
- In the number 47,093, the digit 7 is sitting in a specific "place." What's the name of that place? (Like the 'tens' place or the 'hundreds' place, etc.) [cite: 10]
SECTION B: Diving Deeper into Numbers (Let's Explore!)
- If you were counting the very first numbers you learn, what would be the first five you'd say? [cite: 10]
- Some numbers are a bit special – they can only be divided evenly by 1 and themselves. What do we call these numbers? Can you give me three examples? [cite: 10]
- Let's try a little puzzle: What's the answer if you do 12 + 8, and then take away the result of 5 multiplied by 2? Show your steps! [cite: 10]
- Imagine you have 18 cookies and 24 candies. What's the biggest number of friends you could share with so that everyone gets the same number of cookies and the same number of candies? [cite: 10]
- Fractions can be a little tricky! What's the main difference between a "proper" fraction and an "improper" one? [cite: 11]
