David, fully agree. There are usually more than one possible method to solve most problem-sum questions, and which is better at times depends on the students’ strengths and aptitudes.


Over the years, I have found different students can have different thoughts patterns or processes, and hence correspondingly will better understand or prefer one method to another. For the more challenging 5-mark questions, it is good to offer them a choice of problem-solving methods, and encourage them to stick with one that suits them better.

Hi,
Hint: AFE and CFD are both isosceles triangles (Lengths of square are all the same as the sides of the equilateral triangle)

Hope that helps!

Hi , please help me in this question, thanks!

Triangle AEF is an isosceles triangle since EF = ED (Equilateral Triangle) and AE = ED (Square).

hence, if angle x = 30 degrees, then

(b) angle y = (180 - 30) / 2 = 75 degrees.

angle AFC = 360 - 75 - 60 - 75 = 150

hence

(c) angle z = 150 degrees (rhombus).

Hi. I am looking for books with algebra questions on 3 unknowns and 3 equations (just to practice solving it. Not problem sums). I have searched some Secondary books but could not find any. Anybody can help?

Can anyone help me with the following question?

Thanks in advance. http://i41.tinypic.com/30kpmd1.png\">

The numbers are arranged in groups of 6
row 1 --> 1st group of 6 numbers
row 2 --> 2nd group of 6 numbers (7 to 12)...

Divide any given number by 6 -->
row number : if there is a remainder, then row number = quotient + 1, and if there is no remainder, the row number = quotient
column number --> determined by the remainder as follows-
remainder of 1 --> A
remainder of 2 --> B
remainder of 3 --> C
remainder of 4 --> D
remainder of 5 --> E
remainder of 0 --> F

827 ÷ 6 = 137 R5 --> Row 138, Column E

cheers.
