GRADE1 MATH CHALLENGE QUESTIONS

MTAP Reviewer for Grade 1 Part 2

BY TECHIE MATHTEACHER AUGUST 18, 2014
This is my second compilation for MTAP reviewer for grade 1. Check out the
previous reviewer here.
We are lucky that the young mind of our kids is now being tested, challenged, and
honed with the complexities of Mathematics.
There are problems in previous years for Grade one that even a normal grade 8
students cant solve since it requires deep knowledge in algebra especially in worded
problems. Horrible!
Tips to parents
The elimination round of MTAP math challenge is usually being held around January
of each year. Focus your child in arithmetic. It is important that they master the four
common operations. Giving your child to trainers/tutors is nothing if in the first place
he/she didnt know to how multiply and divide.
That sounds silly but that is true. It starts with you. A common grade one student in a
public school didnt understand English well yet hence they wont be able to solve the
most basic problem solving. So you need to do your part.
Fraction is also a part of the challenge in grade 1. Multiplying factions to whole
number will be easy for them if they knew how to multiply and divide.
There are two kinds of geniuses, the inborn and those who are made. Everyone has the
ability to be good in Math but not everyone has the proper discipline. Before this page
become full about my words, here are some questions that you can use as reviewer to
your cute little kids.

8. Write in number: Ten dollars and six cents
