PDF Set B- Level 1-2 - Make an Organized List or a Table - Teacher's file

Pdf Summary

This Math Kangaroo Level 1-2 class guide outlines a structured approach for solving problems using organized lists or tables. The process involves a Four-Step Method to tackle problems:<br /><br />1. <strong>Understand the Problem</strong>: Grasp the question and its requirements.<br />2. <strong>Plan</strong>: Develop a strategy for solving the problem.<br />3. <strong>Carry Out the Plan</strong>: Implement the solution, possibly with student participation in writing solutions.<br />4. <strong>Reflect</strong>: Evaluate if the solution makes sense or if alternative answers exist.<br /><br />The lesson is segmented into activities with designated time allocations, including a warm-up, organized list practice, table introduction, problem-solving, and wrap-up sessions. Key vocabulary terms such as "table," "row," and "column" are defined to aid understanding.<br /><br /><strong>Breakout Room Procedures</strong> are suggested for facilitating student collaboration, although their use is optional. Students are encouraged to explore different approaches to solving problems and to present their findings to the main class.<br /><br />Several example problems are provided to practice these strategies:<br /><br />- <strong>Missing Digits</strong>: Identify which numbers are missing.<br />- <strong>Counting Occurrences</strong>: Tally how often a digit appears within a range.<br />- <strong>Path Finding</strong>: Determine the minimum number of moves or connections.<br />- <strong>Pairing Exercises</strong>: Count all possible pairings in a given scenario.<br />- <strong>Grouping with Sums</strong>: Determine feasible groupings with equal sums.<br />- <strong>Characteristics Organization</strong>: Use tables to organize characteristics or to solve specific queries about groups.<br /><br />The strategy involves organizing ideas systematically, grouping items based on criteria, and ensuring all possibilities are considered without repetition or omission. A table is used in some problems to organize information clearly, facilitating easier problem-solving and understanding. The guide wraps up by reinforcing the benefits of organized thinking in math problem-solving.
