Dunman High Open House on 8th Nov.
However, anyone knows Anglican High School does it have any Open House?
Thank you in advance! ^^
Hi Dreamliner23,
My DS is with Excelearn which is set up last December. He’s there for Maths tuition, not MO though. Mr Lee who teaches my DS is one of the owners of this centre. He has taught my DS, who is P6 this year, since he was P4 in another centre. My DS likes to attend Mr Lee’s lessons as according to him “it is fun and can understand his explanation, better than his school teacher”. I am not familiar with MO but I know that in the previous centre, Mr Lee was one of the few qualified teachers who taught students for Maths competitions. In fact, he was one of the Maths scholars during his uni days if my memories never fail me.
You may want to call up the centre and get more information.
Hi,
请问“关键”和“要害”的不同点在哪？
My apology as I don’t know how to create a new thread. I don’t know how to explain this "simply" to my sec 1 DD.
Thank you
Hi Parents/students,
Just want to check what time must the students report to school from Mon to Fri? For year 1 students, do they have a lot of homework? And lastly, what is the promotion criteria i.e like from yr 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and so on?
Appreciate your help.
Thank you.
MMM:Hi 7788, MMM,7788:any parent of p5 & p6 kids here? would like to know the supplementary lessons schedule for this year, ie. which day for which subject? is it the same for p5 & p6? currently p4 only has supplementary lessons for chinese. thanks in advance.
Hi 7788, I am hoping to find that too... as I am trying to fix a science tuition on thursday afternoon. Wondering if they need to stay back or not.
Hi Tianzhu, received your pm. Really appreciate your help. Thank you and enjoy your weekends. 
Hi vlim, MMM
My ds is also P3 this year and he didn't have much time to check for his CA1 Maths paper. He is not only slow in calculation, his mind will always \"wander off\" after reading the questions. I have to always sit beside him and \"pull him\" back to do his homework. I always tell him I can't continue doing this as I'm not the one taking the exams...still finding a solution for this... very worry how is he going to manage when he is p4 onwards.
Anyway, we could take a little break now as CA is juz over
Hi Tianzhu,
My DD teacher has taught her class to use this "gap and different" concept to tackle this "kind of problem" and she is stuck with this question and couldn’t understand why is it so…
Base on yr explanations, we could use this "gap and different" concept in the "pokemon cards" question as the number of people and pokemon cards is fixed, right?
Sorry, my last question, why does the gap / different = number of people? (sorry my Maths is not good). I asked my DD and her reply is "my teacher said so…" :<
Really appreciate your help. Thank you very much.

Hassan has some pokemon cards to share among his friends. If he gives each friend 6 pokemon cards, he will have 5 cards left. If he gives each friend 8 pokemon cards, he will be short of 7 pokemon cards. How many pokemon cards does Hassan have?
Gap : 5+7 = 12
Different = 8 - 6 = 2
12 / 2 = 6 friends
From red font :
6 cards x 6 + 5 cards
= 41 cards
Hassan have 41 pokemon cards altogether.
Hi small,
Can you please explain why you use gap = 5+7? I am missing something here. Thanks.
And thanks to all the others who help with the answers. Really appreciate it.
Hi pertunia,
I am using Inference Approach to solve this, learned this from my son.
Alternatively you can refer to Tianzhu's solution on other question.
http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=280&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=2490 Hi, can we use the above Inference Approach to solve below question (Ai Tong 2010 CA1 paper):Mrs Chan has more than 50 sweets. If she puts them in packets of 7, she has 5 sweets left. If she puts them in packets of 9, she has 6 sweets left. How many sweets does Mrs Chan have? (provided ans is 96).If yes, is it okay to show me how to derive the answer? Thank you very much.
