ii. Solve problems involving

combined operations of
addition, subtraction,
multiplication and division
of fractions, including the
use of brackets.

1. Teacher asks students to

solve two story problems.
Example:
i) A 10 meter rope is cut into 4
parts. Three of the parts are
of equal length which is 2
meter long. Find the
remaining length of the
rope.

T : Answer question 1 and 2 in

the handout given.

Vocabulary

Length : panjang
Remainder : baki

ii) The price of a J.M t-shirt is

5 times the price of the
Odo t-shirt. If the price of
the Odo t-shirt is RM12,
find the total price of the

two t-shirts.
2. Teacher chooses two
students to show their
answers on the board.

T: (students name), please

write your solution on the
board.

3. Teacher gives more

questions for reinforcement.

T : Now do the rest of the

questions in the handout.

i) Mrs Lim cut a whole cake

into 8 equal pieces. She ate
1 piece, gave 2 pieces to her
children and 2 pieces to her
neighbour, Mrs. Kumar.What
fraction of the cake was left?
