Check understanding
- Choose whether to use a bar model, number line, or equation for a measurement problem
- Model a multi-step money problem with equations and interpret the final answer as change or total cost
- Create a line plot from measurement data and use it to answer questions about the real-world situation
“When your child solves a real-life maths problem — like calculating how much fabric is needed for a project — can they choose the right representation (a diagram, a table, an equation) and explain what the answer means in the real situation?”
