Ø Simultaneous equations are also known as the ‘units and parts’ method commonly used in Primary 6. Forming and solving equations can be used to solve a variety of Section C challenging word problems, usually worth 4 or 5 marks.
Ø For some 5-mark word problems, the use of equations is the only method to getting your child’s full marks for that question.
Why is the ability to form and solve equations crucial for an A* in PSLE?
Ø Educators, parents and students alike, are beginning to realize that to achieve A* in Primary 6 Mathematics, knowledge and mastery of equations are an absolute necessity.
Ø Equipping your child with the skills and techniques of solving equations also replaces methods like Guess and Check, Making a List, Model Drawing, Working Backwards, amongst others.
Ø In other words, learning to form and solve equations means being able to use a single technique to tackle a large variety of question types in the PSLE Mathematics paper.
