Problem John had 1.5 m of copper wire. He cut some of the wire to bend into the shape shown in the figure below. In the figure, there are 6 equilateral triangles and the length of XY is 19 cm. How much of the copper wire was left? 150 cm – 19 cm x 5 = 150 cm – 95 cm = 55 cm 55 cm of the copper wire was left.

Teaching Place Value Activity • Combine your sets of digit cards. Shuffle the cards. • Take turns to draw one card at a time. • Place the card on your place value chart. • Once you have placed the card in a position, you cannot change its position anymore. • The winner is the one who makes the greatest number.
Place Value Key Concept: The value of digits depends on its place or position.

Practising Multiplication My number is 2! The product is 12. National Institute of Education
Practising Multiplication • Use one set of the digit cards to fill in the five spaces. • Make a correct multiplication sentence where a two-digit number multiplied by a 1-digit number gives a 2-digit product. • Make as many multiplication sentences as you can. • Are the products odd or even? x
Practicing Subtraction Activity 4 • Think of a number larger than 10 000 but smaller than 10 million. • Jumble its digits up to make another number. • Find their difference. • Write the difference on a piece of paper. Circle one digit. Add up the rest of the digits. • Tell me the sum of the rest of the digits and I will tell you the digit you circled. Example • 72 167 • 27 671 • 72 167 – 27 671 = 44 496 • 44 496 • 4 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 18 • Tell me 18.
