This is the course or teachers in Indonesia on number sense for Primary 4 to 6. It covers place values, regrouping, large number multiplication and division and some ideas on estimation and multiples.

3. Place Value Key Concept: The value of digits depends on its place or position.
4. Place Value Numbers to 100 – Primary 1 Numbers to 1 000 – Primary 2 Numbers to 10 000 – Primary 3 Numbers to 100 000 – Primary 4 Numbers to 10 million – Primary 5
5. Teaching Place Value Activity 1 Combine your sets of digit cards. Shuffle the cards. Take turns to draw one card at a time. Place the card on your place value chart. Once you have placed the card in a position, you cannot change its position anymore. The winner is the one who makes the greatest number.
6. Re-groupimg The idea of regrouping is central in large number operations. For example, in 39 x 6, one regroup 39 as 30 and 9 before performing the multiplication. The idea of regrouping can be incorporated into day-to-day activities such as keeping tally of groups’ points when they paly games. It also teaches graphing skills.
13. Teaching Multiplication Mr Chen sold some oranges. Mr Ding sold 3 times as many oranges as Mr Chen. How many oranges did Mr Ding sell?
14. Teaching Multiplication Mr Chen 6 oranges. Mr Ding sold 3 times as many oranges as Mr Chen. How many oranges did Mr Ding sell?
15. Teaching Multiplication Mr Chen 76 oranges. Mr Ding sold 3 times as many oranges as Mr Chen. How many oranges did Mr Ding sell?
16. Teaching Multiplication Mr Chen 476 oranges. Mr Ding sold 3 times as many oranges as Mr Chen. How many oranges did Mr Ding sell?
17. Teaching Multiplication Mr Chen 2476 oranges. Mr Ding sold 3 times as many oranges as Mr Chen. How many oranges did Mr Ding sell?
18. There was a discussion on how to teach this page and if it is better to do the expanded form before the condensed form. expanded condensed
19. Discussion There were participants who shared how their students were confused by the condensed form. In the teaching demonstration, the instructor showed how to teach Example 1 using the methodology of Example 4. In his opinion, it is best to teach students the expanded form before the condensed form. If there are students who cannot get the condensed form but are able to do the expanded form, it is alright.
20. Consolidating Multiplication Use one set of the digit cards to fill in the five spaces. Make a correct multiplication sentence where a two-digit number multiplied by a 1-digit number gives a 2-digit product. Make as many multiplication sentences as you can. Are the products odd or even? x
21. Discussion Why are there so many even products and so few odd products? Participants’ Responses Group H2

24. Teaching Multiplication Mr Chan stored petrol in 27 containers. Each container contained 2 litres of petrol. Mr Chan stored petrol in 27 barrels. Each barrel contained 30 litres of petrol. Mr Chan stored petrol in 27 barrels. Each barrel contained 32 litres of petrol.
45. Problem Solving Activity 4 Think of a number larger than 10 000 but smaller than 10 million. Jumble its digits up to make another number. Find their difference. Write the difference on a piece of paper. Circle one digit. Add up the rest of the digits. Tell me the sum of the rest of the digits and I will tell you the digit you circled. Example 72 167 27 671 72 167 – 27 671 = 44 496 44 496 4 + 4 + 4 + 6 = 18 Tell me 18.
46. Consolidating Order of Operations Use the four given numbers and any of the four basic operations and at most one pair of brackets to make a number sentence that has a value of 10. Example: 1, 5, 6 and 9 are given. 9 + 6 – 5 x 1 = 10
47. Further Examples from Textbooks In the textbooks, there are further examples of problem solving. Use what you learn in the workshop to teach this.
48. Problem Solving How can you use a calculator where the 4 key is not working to calculate 216 x 14 and 2856 ÷ 14?

50. Further Examples from Singapore Schools I have included further samples of problems that teachers in Singapore create. Try it yourself after the workshop.
51. Word Problem At first Shop A had 156 kg of rice and Shop B had 72 kg of rice. After each shop sold the same quantity of rice, the amount of rice that Shop A had was 4 times that of Shop B. How many kilograms of rice did Shop A sell?
52. Word Problem Every minute Machine A prints 12 pages more than Machine B. Machine A and Machine B together print a total of 528 pages in 3 minutes. At this rate, how many pages does Machine B print in 1 minute?
53. Word Problem Elliot was asked to number the pages of a book. When he had numbered the last page, he had written a total of 1089 digits. How many pages were in the book?
