    Big And Small

    BAS Introduction

    In Big And Small (BAS), the aim is to draw models with units of different sizes (big
    and small), forming two sentences that describe the model, and using the technique
    of Cancel Same Parts (CSP) to eliminate one of the units.

    Tip: Draw the big units as wide as possible and the small units as narrow as possible.
    Although the units in the models are intentionally not drawn to scale, they can
    actually help us to construct the two mathematical sentences more accurately without
    mistakenly assuming that there are any size relations between the big and small units.

    BAS Example

    A and B have 10 cookies.


    1
    __
    of A’s cookies are chocolate cookies.
    3
    1
    __
    of B’s cookies are chocolate cookies.
    4
    There are 3 chocolate cookies.
    How many cookies does A have?

    A
    10
    B

    chocolate

    A
    3
    B

    chocolate

    3 big units + 4 small units → 10 cookies

    ×4
    1 big unit + 1 small unit → 3 cookies
    4 big units + 4 small units → 12 cookies
    4 big units – 3 big units → (12 – 10) cookies
    1 big unit → 2 cookies
    3 big units → 3 × 2 = 6 cookies
    A → 6 cookies

    Ans: 6 cookies

    BAS
    Question 1
    The ratio of A’s cookies to B’s cookies was 2 : 5. After A bought 36 cookies and B ate
    12 cookies, the ratio became 5 : 4. How many cookies were there at first?

    Ans:

    BAS
    Question 2
    The ratio of A’s cookies to B’s cookies was 3 : 2. After A bought 20 cookies and B
    bought 160 cookies, the ratio became 1 : 2. How many cookies did B have in the
    end?

    BAS
    Question 1
    A

    B
    The small units are intentionally
    36
    drawn as narrow as possible,
    A hence the difference of 12
    cookies appears wider than the
    B 12 difference of 36 cookies.

    ×4
    5 small units – 2 big units → 36
    20 small units – 8 big units → 144
    ×5
    5 big units – 4 small units → 12
    25 big units – 20 small units → 60
    20 small units – 8 big units + 25 big units – 20 small units → 144 + 60
    25 big units – 8 big units → 204 cookies
    17 big units → 204 cookies
    1 big unit → 204 ÷ 17 = 12 cookies
    7 big units → 7 × 12 = 84 cookies
    At first → 84 cookies
    Ans: 84 cookies

    BAS
    Question 2

    B
    ×2
    1 big unit – 3 small units → 20
    2 big units – 6 small units → 40 20

    ×3
    2 big units – 2 small units → 160 A
    6 big units – 6 small units → 480
    B
    6 big units – 2 big units → 480 – 40
    4 big units → 440 cookies 160
    1 big unit → 440 ÷ 4 = 110 cookies
    2 big units → 2 × 110 = 220 cookies
    B (end) → 220 cookies

    Ans: 220 cookies
