MAPS l (Elementary)
Model Approach to Problem-solving (MAPS)
Helps children see Maths!
MAPS is a powerful strategy that enables children to visualise, draw models for and, from there, solve Maths problems.
MAPS I (Elementary) strengthens the ability to perceive, analyse and think in mental pictures. It covers visualisation techniques, creative drawing and application in solving challenging Maths problems. It encompasses:
• The Four Operations (+ x – ÷)
• Groups & Sets
• Part & Whole Concept
• 2-variables Concept
• Remainder Theorem
Primary 4
MAPS II (Advance)
