PDF Set B - Level 1-2 - Draw a Picture- Presentation

Pdf Summary

The document provides a lesson plan for a Math Kangaroo class aimed at students in levels 1-2, focusing on the technique of "drawing a picture" to solve math problems. The strategy involves visualizing problems through sketches to better understand and solve them by identifying non-obvious details. This method is particularly useful when a problem lacks illustrations, and the activity includes various math problems that encourage students to draw.<br /><br />Several example problems from past Math Kangaroo contests are provided:<br />1. Counting legs on a playground with 2 boys and 2 dogs.<br />2. Calculating the number of jumps a little kangaroo needs compared to its mother.<br />3. Determining the number of guests at a party based on empty seats.<br />4. Finding the missing piece in a puzzle.<br />5. Figuring out how many more cows are needed in Old McDonald's Barn to achieve twice the number of animals.<br />6. Calculating the time Sparrow Jack takes to move between starting and finishing points with a specific jumping pattern.<br />7. Understanding the total number of boxes within boxes.<br />8. Tracking cookies decorated with both raisins and nuts.<br /><br />The lesson encourages students to:<br />- Draw their own pictures when solving these problems.<br />- Carefully read and visualize each problem.<br />- Utilize simple shapes and lines since detailed drawings are unnecessary.<br />  <br />The document closes with a reminder of how visual representations help clarify problems and keep track of different stages without elaboration, encouraging students to scale drawings according to descriptions.
