Mark bought 88 beads. I will post the working after I rewrite it.

Thanks in adv Xavier Sng

I'm doing this qns the long way (couldn't think of any other shorter and faster way 😔) but I certainly hope it helps.. ☺️

Thank u Pauline Vong Nyit Li.

Is this P6 qns ?

If anyone has non algebraic solution, will appreciate if u can help post solution. Thank u in adv!

Yes P6 question

I used ratio but think can't run away from algebra...

Btw, my girl was taught using the way I did when she was in P6 (last year), in tuition centre and school. Making equations out of model drawings.

Brain cells killed...

Very clear!

Thanks!

Thank you Mister Yeo and Mister Goh.

Xavier, can u try to solve the other one on beads and stamps? I tried drawing model but algebra seems inevitable. Sigh....

Okay mate, I am on it.

Math Masters both of you!

Haha. Thanks Michael but I don't have such a big head to fill the big hat. I am just learning from the shifus here.

Many thanks for your kind words, Michael. Mister Yeo and myself do not see ourselves as Math Masters, and we do not take ourselves too seriously. I would rather think that we, in our minutely small ways, are providing some support and help needed to nourish and inspire the youngsters so that one day, they can be the Math Masters.

Hola! Can you please kindly check the numbers provided. They do not seem to tally.

Checked. I copied from an assessment book.:)

Ha ha, if that is the case, I am stumped.

heehee :)

15 - 4 = 11, not 9. That is why I thought the numbers did not tally.

oh. Get it now. miscounted on my end. Yar, book is wrong, haha

Ohhh this question is from Visible Thinking

Maybe the shop is a fruit stall that sells sliced oranges.

11u =44 ! Then apples=40 oranges=60 then after 44 was removed leaves 40 apples and16 oranges. 45 does not work out....??

Goeie dag, Pieter Cronje. You are correct to say that if 44 oranges were sold instead of 45, we would have an answer.
