Regarding the cube question, it was mentioned that 8 cubes were stacked up to form the above figure. If the whole figure is dipped in paint, count the number of cubes that has 4 sides covered with paint.
(1 mark).[/quote]I counted 6 from the diagram you draw

I think there is one question in section C with a bar graph and table listing the number of fruits and the cost of each fruits. The students said that they can’t believe that is such a simple and straight forward question. Is that so?

There is a question on \"not possible to tell\" using algebra. Anybody has details on that?

If one is 2x and the other is x + 3. Then is impossible to tell for sure that 2x is more than
x + 3

If \"has 4 sides\" means \"only 4 sides\", then answer is 6.
If \"has 4 sides\" means \"at least 4 sides\" or \"has 4 of its sides\", then the answer is 8. Because there are 2 cubes have 5 sides covered with paint. Hence 6+2 = 8.

Any comment?

After yesterday’s exams, my DS seems to have lost his momentum for studying. I am struggling to get him to re-focus on his remaining papers.


Is this normal?

It's Exam fatigue. Don't talk abt exams anymore.


Bring him out for a short treat. Listen to yr child. His body signaling his needs. If yr child used to studying outside type then asked him if he'll like to practice whilst having his favourite waffle or ice-cream, etc. Not all kids can concentrate studying outside tho, mine can't but my niece loves doing work at Toast Box with mum. I massage my kids everynite during exams time to help them relax. Hv yr child learnt stress mgt techniques? Some breathing exercises. This I call caring in action.

In fact, My DS do things quite contrary - when it was CCA stand-down, he continues to go for CCA & do his usual soccer but complain no P6s only P5s to kick ard with. One year, day before exams, I brot my kids for movie to get them relax - mind & soul. They enjoyed so much was ready for last minute paper practice, then bedtime. Ano year, during weekend, I arranged for a Fri stay-over at LegoLand with cousins & back by Sat nite. Then 开车，动工. My friends think I'm crazy to be so chill :siao: , but I think not coz I noticed my kids had been working very hard regularly, so they seemed saturated MUST help them learn to untighten themselves. They're doing very well now. Auto-pilot alr.

So work out yr own way what u think yr child needs. Every child's needs are different. Hope you find a way & apply your measure to help yr child. This weekend is good to snitch a short time to pull yr child together. Don't let him sink into mind cut off & deflate energy. Energize him again even if no time to try anything drastic. Small effort helps too.

Be a friend to your child. Be a living mum. Give your P6 a big hug from aunty here (simply bcoz of his effort to sit for PSLE). Big hug for mummy too, who noticed & in tune to notice his moods & energy. :grphug:
