In Primary 4, students typically learn about numbers up to 100,000, which means they learn to read, write, compare and order numbers within this range.
They also learn about factors and multiples, which are important concepts in Maths that help students understand how numbers relate to each other.
Factors are the numbers that can be multiplied together to get a certain number. For example, the factors of 12 are 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 12, because 1x12=12, 2x6=12, 3x4=12. Students learn to identify the factors of a number, which helps them with division, fractions and other math operations.
Multiples, on the other hand, are the numbers that result from multiplying a number by another number. For example, the multiples of 4 are 4, 8, 12, 16, 20 and so on. Students learn to identify the multiples of a number, which helps them with multiplication and division.
By learning about numbers up to 100,000 and factors and multiples, Primary 4 students gain a strong foundation in Maths that prepares them for more advanced concepts in the future. They also develop problem-solving skills and critical thinking abilities that are essential for success in Maths and in other areas of life.
