Maths No Problem
1st the answers from Mon 11th Chp 9 Lesson 6
Today’s lesson: Chapter 9 Money Lesson 7
Lesson Objective: To be able to solve word problems involving division of money.
Textbook pages: 78 – 81 Workbook pages 54 – 55
Lesson Notes: To begin this lesson, show pupils the In Focus task and ask them how we can work out how much Holly and Sam each pay. Does the question say that they share the cost equally? What are some ways the cost can be shared? Ask pupils to discuss this and share their ideas. Ask them what kind of calculation they need to perform to find the answer.
Ask pupils, if the cost is shared equally, what would the bar model look like? Give them some time to work on the bar model on their mini whiteboards. Then display the bar model image from Let’s Learn 1. Ask pupils if their model is the same. Does the model help us to decide how to calculate how much each child must pay? What calculation do we need to do? Guide pupils to determine from the bar model that we will need to divide the total cost by 2 to find how much 1 child needs to pay. Show the class how to partition the amount of money into pounds and pence, divide both amounts by 2, then add them together.
Display the bar model from Let’s Learn 2. How has the cost been shared between them? Ask pupils to discuss this before feeding back. How does the model help us to decide how to calculate the share for each child? Which calculations do we need to make to find how much each child pays? Let pupils think about this and gather their responses. Lead them to see that in order to divide by 3, the money needs to be partitioned in such a way that the numbers are divisible by 3.
