Igniting Passion for Learning
FOREWORD
The Mathematics Student Activity Book (SAB) is written for children to enhance their
knowledge and understanding of Primary Two Mathematics based on the National Standard-
based Primary curriculum focusing on STEM Education.
The SAB features STEM-related activities that are fun, interesting yet thought-provoking for
creative learning.
It follows closely the Learning Standards and Performance Standards of the National Primary
School Standard-based Curriculum or DSKP Matematik. It covers all Performance Levels in
the DSKP and can be useful for Primary School mathematic teachers too as an assessment
guide. In fact, teachers can use the activities as supportive activities for classroom learning to
complement their classroom teaching.
Hence, the SAB is not only for children to use at home but can also be a good handy
reference for both teachers and also parents. The section on Teaching Tips offers useful
suggestions to teachers and parents on how to guide children in the teaching and learning of
Mathematics with STEM Integration. It offers suggestions on how to encourage children to
think creatively as they practise their mathematical skills in doing the STEM-based activities
in the book.
It is hoped that this book will be useful to complement efforts in implementing STEM
Education and to instill the love of Mathematics and promote mathematical thinking among
our young children as we prepare them for the 21st century.

Activity 1: What does the clock say?


CONTENT STANDARD 5.1 Time in hours and minutes.
LEARNING STANDARDS 5.1.1 Recognise minute graduations on the clock face.
5.1.2 State and show time in hours and minutes.

Materials
• Colour papers • thumb tacks
(pink and green) • an eraser
• a pair of scissors • a marker pen

Steps

1. How many times can you write the word


“clock” in 1 minute?
2. How many times can you jump in 5 minutes?
3. How far can you run in 15 minutes?

Discuss activities that can be carried out in 1


minute, 5 minutes, 15 minutes, and others. Review
how to count by fives. Count in fives and relate it to
the 5 times table.

Watch a video on how to make a paper learning


clock. Prepare the materials and start to make a
paper learning clock.
https://youtu.be/WVe3V3gcSDk

How many graduations are between 12 and 4? That’s 20 minutes.


How many graduations are between 12 and 7? That’s 35 minutes.
How many graduations are between 2 and 3? That’s 5 minutes.

You can count graduations for minutes using a paper learning


clock. Count and say aloud. E.g. 1X5=5 minutes, 7X5=35 minutes
and 4X5=20 minutes.

an analogue and a digital clock.

Are these two times the same? Why?

Ten minutes past nine; Five minutes past nine;


These two times are different because they are same in hour but different

LEARNING STANDARDS:
6.1.1 Recognise unit of mass
6.1.2 Measure mass
6.1.3 Estimate mass and to justify the answer

1. Provide the child with a scale. Guide the child to weigh and to estimate the mass of objects in
the kitchen. Avoid dangerous tools such as knives.
2. Guide the child to read the values of graduations for weighing scales. The child needs your
guidance, especially if the reading is not a whole number.
3. Introduce the child to the two types of scales, which are analog scale and digital scale by
playing the YouTube video suggested.
4. Let the child observe the units of ‘kg’ and ‘g’ found on the labels of food items.
5. Let the child compare the masses and categorise the objects according to the units ‘gram’ or
‘kilogram’ into Circle Maps (Activity Sheet 6.4).
6. Guide the child until the child realises that 1kg = 1000g.
7. Ask : Can we use kilogram to measure an egg? Why?
8. After experiencing the mass of different objects, the child continues with the second activity.
9. Guide the child to cut the cards carefully. This activity can involve 2-4 persons.
10. After these activities, guide the child to come up with the conclusion that gram is suitable to
measure light objects, whereas kilogram is suitable to measure much heavier objects (Activity
Sheet 6.5).
11. Ask: What is the correct abbreviation of the unit kilogram and gram?
12. Ask: Can we use gm and gms for grams? Or kgs for kilograms?

Activity 3 Water glass xylophone


LEARNING STANDARDS:
6.3.1 Recognise volume of liquid.
6.3.2 Measure volume of liquid.
6.3.3 Estimate volume of liquid.

1. Provide the child with the materials needed. If it is difficult to get 7 identical glass bottles, then
5 is also good enough.
2. Guide the child to measure the volume of liquid using a measuring cup according to the
suggested volume.
3. Guide the child to relate to litres and millilitres during the collection of water into the 1 litre
plastic bottle activity.
4. Ask: Do you want to try with different amount of water for the water xylophone? What is your
suggestion?
5. Ask: The glass containing the most water produced the lowest pitch while the glass with no
water produced the highest pitch. Why is this so?
6. You may use food colouring to dye the water of all the colours of the rainbow: red, orange,
yellow, green, blue, and purple. By the time we are done, we have a rainbow water glass
xylophone!
7. The purpose of the last step is to guide the child to discover the idea of 1ℓ. You can guide the
child to relate this idea to addition as well.
STEM INTEGRATION HOTS

Mathematics • Making hypothesis.


• Measure and read the volume of liquid. • Making conclusion.
• Estimate the volume of liquid in mℓ and ℓ. • Creating.
Engineering • Giving justification of the answers given.
• Lined up the glass bottles beside one another and leave a little bit of
space in between each.
• The reading of the volume of liquid must be seen at eye level.
Science
• When a glass is tapped with a spoon the vibrations travel from the
glass to the water.
• The pitch of the sound depends on the speed of the vibrations. Since
the glass with the most water slows down the vibrations the most, it
produces a lower pitched sound.

LEARNING STANDARDS:
6.4.1 Solve problems involving daily life situations.

1. Provide the child with the materials needed. You may use other jelly powder that is easy for
you to get from the market instead herbal jelly powder.
2. In order to stimulate your child’s curiosity, you may explain to the child that grass jelly, or leaf
jelly or herb jelly, is a jelly-like dessert eaten in East and Southeast Asia.
3. The measurement of water and sugar can be adjusted according to different kinds of jelly.
4. Guide the child to weigh the ingredients carefully and to read the values of graduations for the
weighing scale correctly.
Ask: What tools can be used to measure water?
Ask: What tools can be used to measure sugar?
5. The cooking process should be carried out under parental supervision.
6. Assist the child to pour herbal jelly into small cups and at the same time guide them to estimate
the volume of 100mℓ of herbal jelly in each cup. Be careful when handling hot herbal jelly.
Ask: How many cups of herbal jelly can you get from 1 packet of herbal jelly powder?
Ask: If you need 50 cups of herbal jelly for the charity sale, how many packets of herbal jelly
do you need to buy?
Ask: How many gram of sugar is needed to produce 50 cups of herbal jelly?
Ask: How much do you need to spend for 50 cups of herbal jelly?
7. For Activity Sheet 6.8 Question 2, you are also encouraged to guide the child toplan different
strategies to find the answer (i.e., table, list one-by-one, etc.) and give justification.
