Is this not too much for a 7/8 year old?

Actually it's not, it's very belittling for that age range.

Anyways you feel so because your Brain is now advanced and because of that whenever you see such questions you think Further-Maths but it's not so, it's just simple Addition, subtraction, Multoplication and Division.

A Five year old would solve the questions is seconds, you all and your kids need to watch educative programmes like Cowbellpedia; in our own time it was Bournvita brain match, and stop watching BBN

See What I Saw In A Primary 4 Textbook

Quantitative reasoning for primary school should not be an IQ test question for an undergraduate.

A primary 4 lantern quantitative reasoning question was brought to me and being that I was an undergraduate, I was like... 'Izit noh just a primary 4 work? Bring it jare and lemme dissect it'. Little did I know it was tough! Oboi! Was it tough. Hell yeah! So tough to the extent that myself and two other undergraduates weren't able to solve it.

It shattered my pride (or what was left it) so much so that I had to lie to those who gave me, telling them that I've not looked so much into it. So my nairaland brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces, teachers and students. Should this type of question be given to a primary 4 student? If you can solve it, please do.


Quantitative reasoning for primary school should not be an IQ test question for an undergraduate, don't you think?

Its quiet simple
Look at it dis way
139 * 3=417
258 * 2 = 516 (its like d up numbers multiply to get d down number)

I just saw the trend. It has been solved already.

Multiply jor...no dei fall hands

Just multiply the numbers on top by the one in the box then u get the answer below... E.g 139*3=417...I think someone already got it

Warning:If you know say your head no carry am, abeg,no go rack your head begin hear voices say make you jump into lagoon o. Remember say your people still like you!

Sincerely i can't but laugh oooo its quite easy and all u need do is bringdown ur brain ooo its an addition process so if u study the pattern you will get it...

Very simple

139*3=417
417/3=139

258*2=516
516/2=258

Bros I hail oooo

Quantitative reasoning!

what a question to [color=#000099][/color]

Sometimes, i find it difficult to solve primary school subjects too, it is not that someone is dull or not brilliant, it is because it been long one came across something like that.

You have a sharp analytical mind


What did you study in school.?

Something about this question. The child has to use an overall view to solve it.

Industrial maths and computerscience

AnonyNymous:

I swear! How did your mind even go there?

If you still haven't gotten it, you're to read the top as a whole number (not three separate numbers) and read the bottom as a whole number. The top × the middle number is the bottom

139 × 3 = 417
258 × 2 = 516

Cc nne5

whoa

Thanks

I don't know the answer but the unit of the answer is in NAIRA

Am sure that even d teacher cant solve it.... bt d solution goes thus; take the numbers arranged below 417 and divide it by d no arranged on top139.....dat is 417/139=3..try it for d second example....solution provided

Op unto dis small thing na him you write epistle ? And lalasticlala toke it to FP i thought we trash this quesstion last year or so ?

Anyways Op, like i said then stop treating a simple basic school QR question as Further Maths because it's not Further maths rather it's simple Addition, Multiplication, Subtraction and Division now having said that the answer to your question is: Multiply the top numbers by the middle number and you will arrive the below number, or Divide the below numbers by the middle number and you will have the top number, it's ver very very simple.

Op shame on you and your friend, go to school and read your books, you will not instead you'll be craming and be looking for Roman goddess picture online and be reading meaningless articles, mtcheeew!

Let me give you an example so you will understand.

123
3
369 = 123 * 3 = 369 and 369/3 = 123

Got it ?

You smoke weed today abi :-/? Na after person solve am for first page keep na him you get balls reply me abi. If you quote me, I go knack you another quantitative reasoning question this night.

Kikiki Lol That QR Question already hit FP last year, and i didn't see the Thread in time, if i had i would had solve it then.

Anyways na because we don over sabi book na why the thing wan take style hard it's actually very simple

Oya knack am for me abeg

He wasn't the one who solved it. He had no idea how to go about it until 'unlimiteddream' solved it on the first. What he gave first was trash before he changed it. I even quited the crap he wrote

I can solve QT better than this primary sch wahala

Which one is QT again?

CzarChris:
I honestly don't know what all these fuss is about. My late dad bought on very big brown book when I was in primary 4, it had Quantitative analysis and Verbal Reasoning in it's last chapter, it was in preparation for my common entrance examination(yes I wrote common entrance in primary 4 and passed, but my dad let me finish primary 5 I wrote another and passed before I went to secondary school)there no biggie there. You guys make it look like we went to primary school in the stone age. Haba!!!

Oya solve it and stop making a fuss too. Mtcheew!

. Is DAT how u r going to explain it to d pupils?... Wat if d 3 and 2 is missing.....go hug monkey

@sirmicheal1, I have gotten a better and very easy way to solve it. It is just addition and subtraction. I would have posted the sheet of paper I worked it on but my phone battery is low and there is no supply of electricity for now. So, maybe I will do that tomorrow, God willing.
