The purpose of Polya's Problem-Solving Method for the Mathematic's field is to help
paraprofessionals become more familiar with and practice using, Polya's four-step
problem-solving method. The four steps in this model as shown in the diagram are
understand the problems, make a plan, execute the plan, and look back and reflect.
So, in solving how many chickens, goats and cows are in Mrs Rokiah's barn,
Polya's Problem-Solving Method are clearly can be used.

The first step is to understand the problems. In this step, what is being asked
can be figured out. Hence, for the known from the question are Mrs Rokiah has 32
chickens, goats and cows in her barn. Next, the number of cows is 1/3 of the number of
chickens. Then, there are 92 feet in total. After that, for the unknown is how many
chickens, goats and cows are in the barn. The type of answer that is required is in ordinal
number. In the meantime, the question is a non-routine problem. Next, there also have
some important terms to look up for definitions, such as a chicken has 2 legs, a goat
has 4 legs and a cow has 4 legs. So, that was what it should be figured out for the first
step.

For the second step, make a plan. At this step, some strategies for solving the
problem need to plan. Common strategies include making a list, drawing a picture,
eliminating possibilities, using a formula, guessing and checking, and solving a simpler,
related problem. In solving the question, the strategy of constructing simultaneous linear
equations is the best move. It is because, simultaneous linear equations will help in
representing chickens, goats, and cows as unknown in the form of a given equations
(question sentences). This will further facilitate problem-solving for this question.

The third step is to execute the plan. For this step, the strategy chosen in step
2 to solve the problem need to be used. The third step can be seen as shown below.

1. Build 3 equations from the given information.

Since the total of animals is 32, the information can transform into below

equation: Chickens= x
Goats= y
Cows= z

x + y + z = 32 ---------> first equation

Then, there are 92 feet in total which can be concluded in the equation like
this,

2x +4y+ 4z = 92 -------------> second

equation.

The additional digits in front of each unknown come from the general knowledge since
chickens have 2 legs and both goats and cows have 4 legs. But, in order to find the
value of the unknown, another equation using any of the two previous equation like
this need to be form,

x + y + z = 32 ---------> first
equation
x = 32 - y-z -----------> third equation
Angka Gililran:

The calculation proceeds using the simultaneous equations.

Insert third equation into second equation

:

2x +4y+ 4z =
92
2(32 - y-z) +4y + 4z =
92
64 -2y-2I +4y + 4z =
92
64 + 2y + 2z =
92
2y + 2z = 28
2(y+ z) =
28
y + z = 14

So, from this calculation, it is known that the total of goats and cows is 14. Next,
insert y
+ z = 14 into the first
equation.

X+ y + Z = 32
X + 14 =
32
X = 18
This calculation resulting in the total of chickens in the barn. But the total for goats
and cows also need to be fine. In addition, the given information also says that the
total of cows is 1/3 from numbers of chicken.

Cows (z) : 1/3 x 18 =

6
Goats(y) :y+z=14
y + 6 = 14
y = 14-6
y=8
So the total of each animals would
be
Chickens (x) = 18, Goats (y)= 8, Cows (z)=
6
Angka Gililran:

Lastly, look back and reflect step are as below.

First Method = x + y + z = 32

= 18 + 8 + 6 = 32

Second Method = 2x +4y+ 4z = 92

= 2 (18) + 4 (8) + 4(6) = 92
= 36 + 32 + 24 = 92

Hence, solving the non-routine problems from Polya's Problem-Solving Method

has been done.

SECTION A - QUESTION
2

Mean is an essential concept in mathematics and statistics. The mean is the average
or the most common value in a collection of numbers. In statistics, it is a measure of
the central tendency of a probability distribution along median and mode. It is also
referred to as an expected value. It is a statistical concept that carries a major
significance in finance. The concept is used in various financial fields, including but
not limited to portfolio management and business valuation. There are different ways
of measuring the central tendency of a set of values. There are multiple ways to
calculate the mean in order to describe the annual salary of the employees of the
company. With the help of a concrete model (Diagram 1), the concept of finding
mean can be seen using the
following formula:

- n

i = (1)(210 00) + (1)(10 000) + (1)( 4o) + (2)(32 000) + (%)( % 00) +
(5)(26000) + ()(0 000)

Angka Gililran:

Then, there are also another suitable measure of central tendency that can be
used to describe the annual salary of the employees of the company in Diagram 1. The
suitable measure is using mode. Firstly, finding the mode. The mode is simply the
number that appears most often. From Diagram 1, it is clear that the mode is the
General Worker because the number of people is 5 (n). General Workers' position has
the largest number of people among that position. So, the mode is 5 that refers to
General Workers' position. From the measure of central tendency that has been used
(mode), we can see that the most number of people that working in a position is at its
maximum is composed of General Workers compared to others position such as
Manager, Assistant Manager, Supervisor, Sales Representer, Machine Operator, and
Part Time General Workers. In addition, even though the annual salary per person
(RM) for General Worker is only at RM25000, that is the second-lowest of annual salary
per person (RM) in the company, but the most number of people that working in
that position is at the maximum point. So, from the mode that had been figured, there
are lots of justification that can be done and seen as shown above.

[Figure 2]: Various Types of Rational Numbers

According to Halverscheid, S. et al. (2006), the use of rational numbers is certainly no

stranger to our lives. Its application can consist of various types of forms either
through fractions, decimals and percentages as shown in Figure 2. Thus, there are
some steps of calculation that need to be done to find the algorithm of 5/8 into
decimals and vice versa also converting the fractions to percentages and vice versa.

Firstly, converting the algorithm of 5/8 into decimals and vice versa can be
seen as below.

5/8

To convert a fraction into a decimal, we just divide the numerator (5) by the
denominator
(8). In this example, we just divide 5 by
8.

5+8

In addition, from an appropriate example, there are advantages of decimals and

percentages to fractions. In decimals, the calculation is more accurate and simple than
fractions. For example, from 1/2 + 3/2 = 2, the calculation will be more difficult. So, it
is better to calculate in decimals, that is 0.5 + 1.5 = 2. It is easier and clear to be seen and
understand. Next, if there is 65 oranges in a basket that full of oranges and apples, it is
better to be known as 65% oranges than 65/100 oranges in the basket. It is more clear
to be interpreted and visualize if we use percentages than fractions.
