Picture puzzles are an excellent way to introduce the part – part – whole aspect of Singapore Maths, missing digits e.e. 145 + __ = 193, pre-algebra thinking and can be used to develop logical thinking with halving and subtraction. The numbers were chosen to be used in K3 4 i.e. halving 3 digit numbers (e.g. 176) and borrowing when subtracting 3 digit – 2 digit (e.g. 263 – 87). However, if they not aren’t used to these types of visual problems, they can be used much later to introduce algebra.

Picture puzzles are an excellent way to introduce the part – part – whole aspect of Singapore Maths, missing digits e.e. 145 + __ = 193, can be used to develop logical thinking and bring enjoyment to halving and subtraction. I've chosen the numbers to be used in K3 i.e. dividing 2 digit numbers by 3 (that are greater than 12 x 3) halving 2/3 digit numbers (e.g. 176) and borrowing when subtracting 3 digit – 2 digit (e.g. 263 – 87). The code breaker work sheet practices adding three 2 digit numb

I recommend using the halving diamond as the start of each task and

Introduce Algebra at Elementary / Middle school with these 22 ppts. The 22 presentations begin with simple picture representations and explore pupil’s reasoning skills through a variety of sized and shaped grids, representations of scales as equal and scales as amounts to reasonably compare. Most numbers can be edited on the powerpoints and blank worksheets are provided for extra differentiation (if necessary).
