I want to learn about: Algebra

In previous posts we’ve learned about prime numbers and composite numbers. Today we’re going to look at different sequenced prime numbers activities involving prime numbers that Smartick students work on. We’ve included examples of different types and levels, from identifying whether a number is prime or composite to finding the least common multiple and highest common factor through […]

In today’s post we’re going to learn how to solve algebraic equations using the Singapore bars method. This method helps us to visualize the information graphically when we read an algebraic word problem, which helps us to solve it. Let’s look at an example of how to solve an algebraic problem with and without Singapore bars. Example of an […]

Symbols are images that represent something. In general, symbols are determined by their context. In mathematics, symbols generally represent operations or relationships between numbers or values. In this week’s post we’re going to talk about mathematical symbols. There are a lot, so we’re just going to look at the most important. Addition + This is […]

In today’s post we’re going to look at the concept of equations. To start, we’re going to take a look at this situation: “One third of Cecilia’s flowerpots contain daisies, half of them are full of pansies, and the other twelve contain poppies. How many flowerpots does Cecilia have?” Think about it, and see if […]

Do you want to learn how to perform combined operations? On the Smartick blog, we have already talked about combined operations on other occasions, but now we will look at more examples and we will solve them together. Shall we start? What are combined operations? Combined operations are numerical expressions in which multiple operations (addition, […]

In this week’s post, we’re going to look at what the rule of three inverse is and how to use it to solve problems. The rule of three is a way to solve proportionality problems. If we are dealing with a direct proportionality, then apply the direct rule of three. If we are dealing with inverse proportionality, […]
