Do you know what a cylinder is? In addition to explaining what cylinders are, in this post we will look at how they develop, the parts that make up a cylinder, and how to calculate its area and volume. We will also show you some activities using cylinders that children complete during their Smartick sessions. […]

In this post, we are going to learn a strategy for adding two consecutive numbers, or in other words, numbers that are one value apart. And a strategy for adding numbers that are two values apart. Adding Strategy Adding two consecutive numbers This strategy consists in first doubling the smaller number then adding one to […]

In the post for this week, I will explain the criteria for the divisibility of 3. When they ask you “Is this number divisible by 3?” The most intuitive thing to do is to divide that number by 3, and if the remainder is zero then the number itself is divisible by 3. For example: One […]

Division is an inverse operation to multiplication and it works to form groups or distribute them evenly. This post will show how to operate both exact and inexact division. When we are doing division, we can be given two situations: to form equal groups and be left with zero remainder (exact division), or to form groups […]

What are number sequences? How can we guess what number will come next? In this post, we’ll give you the guidelines that you need to solve number sequence problems. Number sequences are numbers that are organized to follow a certain rule. The hardest part is figuring out the rule, but once we have it, it’s […]

Blocks are extremely useful for learning mathematics, and operations in particular. Therefore, this week we’re going to learn the multiplication algorithm using blocks to help us. Do you already know how to multiply by one digit? If the answer is NO, you’ll learn the most simple way to multiply and understand the algorithm in this […]

In this post, we will look at what monomials are, what their components are and what properties they have. What is a Monomial? A monomial is a combination of numbers and letters related by only multiplication and the exponents of the letters can only be natural numbers. For example: -5ax 3 Is a monomial because […]

In today’s post, we are going to look at some examples of capacity measurement conversion problems, and offer some advice about how to solve them. Remember, we have already seen how to solve problems converting length measurements and mass measurement conversion problems. Before starting problems, look back at the scale of the main units of […]
