Sustained Support for Maths (SSM) Activity - based lessons

Factual Fluency

DJO: Self-directed Learner

Note Taking

DJO: Critical Thinker & Self-directed Learner

STAR Heuristics Package

(STAR Hpack)

STAR

• Model Drawing• Draw a diagram• Guess and Check• Before & After concept• Work backwards• Restate the problem in another way• Assumption / Supposition

Types of Heuristics

The total cost of 1 kg of longans and 2 kg of cherries is $10.90. The total cost of 2 kg of longans and 2 kg of cherries is $15.40. What is the cost of 1 kg of longans?

COURT approach in Checking C – COPY: Copy data correctlyO – OPERATION: Use the correct operationU – UNIT: Write the correct unit in the answerR – REASONABLENESS of answerT – TRANSFER answer correctly onto the

answer space
