P4/P5 Pie Chart (Fractions of Different Denominators)

These questions shows that the Pie Chart have 3 sections and each section is denoted by a fraction with its own unique denominator.

Students have to make use of common denominator so all the sections' fractions add up to become one whole.

Such questions are common in Section C of P4 exams and also in Paper 1 of P5 exams.
Calculator usage is not allowed.

P4: Fraction of Remainder (Basic)

Fraction of a remainder is a concept similar to Fraction of a Fraction.
Student will need to know that they must not make both denominator the same if each denominator of the 2 fractions do not represent the same total.

Such questions are common in Section C of P4 exams.
More of such questions with slightly higher difficulty for P4 students here.

P4P5 Reverse Model Drawing (Before and After Fractional Change)

This exercise below aims to help students better understand before and after models by having them look at the already completed models and have them fill in the blanks to the original problem sum description.

While these are not exam questions, they help students to structure their thinking process for the formation of the equations(number sentences) needed to solve such questions.




Given the before and after model above, 
fill in the blanks.

Luke has ___ times as many toy cars as Marvin at first.
After Luke gave away __/__ of his toy cars.
He now has equal number of toy cars as Marvin.
Luke have 13 toy cars at the end.
They have ___ toy cars altogether at first.

P5P6 Math: Before and After (One Party Change) Fractional Comparison

Such questions are very similar to before and after "ratio" comparison where only one of the values changed, but the ratios are expressed using fractions. 

Such questions are common in Paper 2 of P5 and P6 exams.
Calculator usage is allowed.

Similar Ratio (One Party Change) questions can be found here.

P6 Math: Fraction of Remainder with Guess and Check

This question type requires students to be able to use part/whole models to visualize "Fraction of Total" and "Fraction of Remainder". The "Guess and Check" table will also be required here.

Such questions are common in Paper 2 of P6 exams.
Calculator usage is allowed

Teddy bought some apples from the market.
After he threw away 152 apples and gave 1/5 of the remaining apples to his sister,

P4P5 : Internal Transfer Multiples (More Became Less)

This question type is very similar to the one with external transfer where the one with more became the one with less.

This one, however, is internal transfer, where the larger value gives away to the smaller value until the smaller value becomes the bigger one.

Such questions will appear in Section C of P4 exams and Paper 1 of P5 exams.
Calculator usage is not allowed.

Kieran has thrice as many marbles as Irwin at first.
After Kieran gave Irwin 75 marbles,
Irwin now has twice as many marbles as Kieran.

How many marbles did Kieran have at first?

P4P5 Math: Before and After Multiples (More became Less)

This type of question is a "Before and After" where the one with more, became the one with less after an external transfer.

This question requires students to draw "before and after" comparison models in order to visualize the problem sum.

Such questions are common in Section C of P4 exams and also Paper 1 of P5 exams.
Calculator usage is not allowed

Another one of more difficulty that deals with "internal transfer"

Jenny has twice as much money as Kelly.
After Jenny spent $36 on a durian, 
Kelly now has twice as much as Jenny.

P4/P5 Math: Pie Chart(Intermediate)

Pie Charts taught in P4 will require students to understand the meaning of the 90 degree and what fraction(of the total) the right-angled piece represents.

This question is slightly more complex and will require students to understand the comparison between the different parts of the pie chart(besides knowing that 90 degrees represent a quarter of the total)

Such questions usually appear in Section C of P4 exam papers.
P5 and P6 students can use this as extra practice for Paper 1 as well (no calculator usage).

An easier version of Pie Chart questions can also be found here.
