Hate Word Problems!? Learn Singapore Math (Bar Modeling)

Make sure you subscribe to our Channel!
Every Monday we will post a challenge problem and show you how to solve.
Up for a Math Challenge??
Can your child solve this problem?
Jake is 3 years older than Kyla and 2 years younger than Larry.
The total of their ages is 41 years.
How Old is Jake??
Is this lesson you'll see an introduction to bar modelling using Singapore Math.
This method shows students a visual approach on how to solve this problem.
In essence your child is actually learning algebra.

Well done and thanks. You’d do well to cut out any background noise.

[@Narminkamal]

Why to put the music in the background? it annoys me

[@MrNesjes24]

The music kills the whole video

[@annoying_leo-3-39]

Shes good, But the music is annoying. .-. :{ :

[@bruhbro1181]

Lol, algebra solves this without model (so does every single pri sch word problem) Let Jake be x years old so, (x - 3) + x + (x + 2) = 41 Simplify to 3x - 1 = 41 Add 1 to both sides 3x = 42 Divide 3 on both sides x = 42/3 x = 14 LMAO.

I am a teacher myself, Asian but not Singaporean, I grew up myself using algebra, and I can't understand how the model is more superior that the traditional algebra method.

[@Ottmar555]

@@BBQsquirrel It's not superior, but students often struggle to write down the algebraic equations. So this is used as a intermediate step for students to learn how to interpret word problems. As they become more proficient with this and maybe other models, they are taught the abstract and more common algebraic notation.

good job i did it the same way i thought this was algebra and did this your way but after the video I realised this is bar moddeling lol

[@yasin5179]

i agree

[@Albert_Einstein_not]

@@BBQsquirrel you have to remember that in Singapore these are typical mathematical problems meant for 9-10 year olds who have not been taught algebra yet.
