8. John had 1.5 m of copper wire. He cut some of the wire to bend into the shape shown in the figure below. In the figure, there are 6 equilateral triangles and the length of XY is 19 cm. How much of the copper wire was left? 19 cm x 5 = 95 cm 150 cm – 95 cm = 105 cm 105 cm of copper wire was left. Example 3 Singapore Examinations & Assessment Board

21. Number Bonds Number Bonds is emphasized prior to the learning of addition. Children are given, say, 5 unifix cubes and guided to see that 1 and 4 make 5, for example. Others may say that 3 and 2 make 5 or 4 and 1 make 5. Yet others may say that 5 and 0 make 5. Earlybird Kindergarten Mathematics Series
