World problem sums

Boys do remember to practice your fractions word problem sums

Remember :

1) Remainder Concept means you need to find out the remainder/remaining amount after a certian portion is used and "of the remainder" means you need to multiply the remainder with the fraction given. You can either do model or the branching out method.

2)Equal Concept --> You have to make the NUMERATOR the same before you can make use of the denominator. How to identify. When in the question, you see sentences like " has the SAME amount of money left" " spent an EQUAL amount of money"

3) External transfer with 1 unchanged quantity --> You have to make the units that represent the group/person that does not undergo any changes (in the before and after situtaion) the same.

4) Internal transfer --> How to identify, the transfer of items only take place within the 2 parties, SO you have to make the TOTAL units the same in the before and after situation.

5)Constant difference --> it is making the difference the same, because both parties/group gave or take the same amount of things.

IF YOU find whatever that you read alien. YOU better be very worry, because the abovementioned are what I have been going through based on the blue booklet, of course my explaination cannot be as clear as what I gone through in class, because it hard to explain Math by typing a few words. ah

BUT remember when in doubt refer to your blue booklet!! Alternatively LOOK FOR ME!!!!

SO please focus and practice more!!!
