• Identify the pattern: 101011 , 101011 , 101011
• Find the number of complete sets of pattern:
100 ÷ 6 = 16 R4
• Find the sum of 16 set of (101011) + Remainder (1010)
(16 x 4) + 2 = 64 + 2 = 66

Numbers and Algebra strand
Each of the three cards shown is printed with a different
whole number. The smallest number is 23. When these
numbers are added two at a time, the sums are 61, 71 and
86. What is the largest number on the cards?
23
Item type: Analyse information, apply appropriate strategies
![Page 19: Subject Requirements for PSLE · PSLE Format (Foundation Math) Paper Booklet Item Type No. of questions No. of marks per question Total marks Duration 1 A Multiple-choice 10 1 10](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042711/5f7f478f27e4040f2f474df8/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
__ + __ = 61
__ + __ = 71
__ + __ = 86
71 – 23 = 48
The largest number is 48.
Each of the three cards shown is printed with a different whole
number. The smallest number is 23. When these numbers are added
two at a time, the sums are 61, 71 and 86. What is the largest number
on the cards?
Mathematical reasoning:
23 is not used to get 86 because you
cannot get the biggest sum using the
smallest number

1. Transfer error
Example: 9 x $12 = $108
$100 ÷ 2 = $50
2. Wrong use of equal sign
Example: Mr Tan spent of his money.
He is left with $12.
= 12

Monitor the homework completion
* Get your child to present his / her work clearly and systematically
Encourage your child to have regular revision
* Attempt questions where corrections have been done
for previous mistakes
* Get the basic facts and formulae right
Build time management skills
* E.g. when doing a timed practice, get your child to complete
the practice within the given time
How parents can support their child

Underline or annotate important information in word problems.
Do not dwell too long on a question. Skip questions when unsure of the approach to solving them and return to complete them later on.
Attempt all questions.
Show all the Math equations and workings.
Check the accuracy of the calculations.
