All major international tests (literacy, science and mathematics) between 1964 and 2003 were placed on a common scale. Selected countries shown in the table.
"Solving problems is central to mathematical proficiency and is articulated to a varying degree across the international curricula. Singapore applies the highest degree of specificity to it, placing it at the centre of all mathematical learning.“

Case Study on Multiplication

Slides are available atwww.banhar.blogspot.com
Desde los primeros años, los estudiantes aprenden a hacer conjuntos o grupos iguales utilizando materiales concretos.
From the early grades, students learn to make equal groups using concrete materials.
Luego, representan estas situaciones concretas utilizando, en primer lugar, los dibujos y, …After that they represent these concrete situations using, first, drawings ..
… más tarde, diagramas (modelos de barras). Después de eso, escriben multiplicaciones. Por supuesto, los profesores volverán a las representaciones concretas y pictóricas una y otra vez en aprendizajes posteriores.
… and, later, diagrams. After that they write multiplication sentences.
Multiplication involving whole numbers is taught over five years, starting in Primary 1. The focus is on one of the meanings of multiplication – equal sets or equal groups. La multiplicación con números enteros se imparte en cinco años, a partir de 1º básico. La atención se centra en uno de los significados de la multiplicación; conjuntos iguales o grupos iguales. Los estudiantes aprenden a representar 3 platos de frutas como de 3 x 6, cuando hay 6 frutas en cada plato. No se espera que recuerden las tablas de multiplicar.
conjuntos iguales o grupos iguales
There is a progression from equal groups to skip-counting.
Hay una progresión de los grupos de iguales para saltar de conteo.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 1011 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 2021 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
In Primary 2, students learn multiplication facts of 2, 3, 4, 5 and 10. In Primary 3, they learn the multiplication facts of 6, 7, 8 and 9.En 2º básico, los alumnos aprenden las tablas de multiplicación del 2, 3, 4, 5 y 10. En 3º básico, aprenden las tablas de multiplicación, de 6, 7, 8 y 9.
Later, the array meaning of multiplication is introduced.
Más tarde, se introduce el significado del producto vectorial.
Students apply their understanding of multiplication to solve word problems including those that include multiplicative comparison, and at the same time, deepen their understanding of multiplication.
Los estudiantes aplican sus conocimientos de la multiplicación para resolver problemas que incluyen la comparación multiplicativa, y al mismo tiempo, profundizan su comprensión de la multiplicación.
Multiplication is also applied to find the area of rectangles and square when Primary 3 students learn the concept of area.La multiplicación se aplica también para encontrar el área de rectángulos y cuadrados cuando los estudiantes de 3º básico aprenden el concepto de área, contando unidades cuadradas al final de 3º básico.
In Grade 3 they learn multiplication of 2-digit with 1-digit numbers as well as multiplication of 3-digit and 1-digit numbers.
Después de completar las tablas de multiplicar, los estudiantes aprenden multiplicaciones que van más allá de la tabla de multiplicar. Ellos aprenden a multiplicar números de dos dígitos con números de 1 dígito, así como la multiplicación de números de tres dígitos y números de un dígito.
In Primary 4, the learn multiplication of 4-digit and 1-digit numbers as well as multiplication of 3-digit and 2-digit numbers. The focus is on partial products.En 4º básico, aprenden a multiplicar números de cuatro dígitos y un dígito, así como multiplicar números de tres dígitos y dos dígitos. La atención se centra en productos parciales.

Finally in Primary 5, students learn to use calculator to multiply larger numbers.Por último, en 5º básico los estudiantes aprenden a utilizar la calculadora para multiplicar grandes cantidades.

“Un plan de estudios de la manera que se desarrolla debe revisar estas ideas básicas en varias ocasiones, construyéndose sobre ellos hasta que el estudiante ha comprendido todo el aparato formal que conllevan”. (Bruner 1960 en El Proceso de la Educación).
.
“A curriculum as it develops should revisit this basic ideas repeatedly, building upon them until the student has grasped the full formal apparatus that goes with them.” (Bruner 1960 in The Process of Education).
En los cursos de 1º a 4º básico, se utilizan cantidades discretas, por ejemplo piedrecillas y los niños. En 5º básico se utilizan cantidades continuas como las medidas estándar de 13 kg y 13 cm.
In Grades 1 to 4, quantities used are discrete ones e.g. pebbles and children. In Grade 5, continuous quantities like standard measures 13 kg and 13 cm are used.
En 1º básico no se utiliza el símbolo ÷ o : para la división. El símbolo se introduce en 2º básico. La idea de resto se introduce en 3º básico. .
In Grade 1, the symbol ÷ or : is not used. The symbol is introduced in Grade 2. The idea of remainder is introduced in Grade 3.
La idea de reagrupar antes de dividirse se introduce al finalizar 3º básico y también se enseña en 4 º básico.
.
The idea of regrouping before dividing is introduced later in Grade 3 and is taught in Grade 4 as well.

Differentiated instruction for students who have difficulty with
standard algorithms. Use number bonds.
2x + x = 4686
3x = 4686
Students in Grade 7 may use algebra to deal with such situations. Bar model is actual linear equations in pictorial form.

Kyla had $3 more than Jack.Jack gave Kyla $2.How much more did Kyla have than Jack?
Students in Grade 6 may use algebra to deal with Story 2.
Kyla had $(x + 3)Jack had $x
Then, Jack had $(x – 2)And Kyla had $(x + 5)
Kyla had $(x + 5) – $(x – 2) or $7 more than Jack.

Google learns from typos and spelling mistakes we all make when searching to help give you quicker and more accurate search results. So if you type ‘grizzly pears’, we can guess that you probably meant ‘grizzly bears’.
Goggle does not have a degree in English. We can do this because over the years we’ve studied how people search and learned what the most common errors are. So it’s good to know that all those little mistakes aren’t made in vain.
