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.

Multiplication of money is when

1 RM8 you take one value of money and
7 RM11 add it together a number of
times. Multiplication is a short
2 x RM12 = RM24 form of Successive Addition.
In Activity Sheet 4.4 (a) you will learn to multiply values of

money with a one digit number in relation to the times
tables.
Ten (10) is an important number in 10 x RM6 = RM60

multiplication. When you multiply a
number by 10, the value of each digit RM5
becomes ten times bigger, so each 10
RM9
digit moves one place to the left.
In Activity Sheet 4.4 (b)you will learn to multiply the value

of money with 10 in relation to the times tables.

Hornbill is needed to make these headdresses.
Mr. Ramli read that the Rhinoceros Hornbills are endangered
birds in Sarawak. For one headdress at least 20 tail feathers
are needed. A hornbill has 10 tail feathers.
Mr. Ramli has heard that zoos from other parts of the world
collect feathers that fall from these birds and send it to places
like Sarawak and other South-East Asian countries to be used in
making the headdresses. He decides to buy as this would be
better than killing the birds for their feathers and beaks.
1. If a feather costs RM5 how much is needed to make one headdress?

To make one headdress:
RM5 x 20 = RM100
RM100 worth of feathers are needed.
2. Mr. Ramli gets an order for 5 headdresses from a customer. How

many feathers are needed to make the headdresses? How much is
the total cost of the feathers needed?
To make 5 headdresses:
5 x 20 = 100
100 feathers are needed.
This will cost RM5 x 100 = RM500 worth of feathers.

Another endangered animal is the Pygmy Elephant.
Hunters kill them for their tusks. There are only
around 1500 alive now. A small 2 cm of tusk can be
sold for RM40.
If the tusk is 36 cm long how much can it be sold for?
Is it worth killing elephants for tusks?
2cm = RM40
Therefore 1 cm = RM40 ÷ 2 = RM20
36cm can be sold for RM20 x 36 = RM720
Discuss with pupils if it is worth killing elephants for their tusks.

Note: In reality the tusks can cost thousands of Ringgit.
