Hi desichan352,


What is Qusetion 24 ? Question 24 is not MCQ.

blessedami:

Since Box A has the most marbles, make the number of marbles in each box the same by


320+19+13+8=360

360/4=90 ( Number of marbles in A)

Since D has the least, the difference between D and A must be the greatest

So, the difference is 19.

90- 19= 71

Wowww now i is confused i forgot if i put 71 or 78...

wait...
320-19-13-6= 320- 32 - 6 = 282-6= 276
276/4 = 69
69?? wth??

The addition way would have been easier


If u were to use your method,you would have to minus 19 and then only 6 for the 13 part and 11 for the 8 part.Bit confusing

In the end, it would be something like this:

320-19-6-11=284
284/4=71

Super easy paper. DS had more than 1 hour for checking. Many of his classmates are confident of scoring full marks.

You must be joking! DS said PP2 very very tough! oh dear!

My nephew said he do paper 2 until nearly cannot finish and want to cry....

So those other comments... are they the smart kids? What is the realistic view of the paper difficulty?

Not really sure.
Since the marks allocation is different in PSLE and not in the order,I think it is only 3-mark.Even Question 6 was 4-mark

I took my maths today.
I found it easy. Reason being I am exposed to many difficult questions already so today's paper was a little surprise. In a good way.
I'm not smart.LOL. At least, I think I'm not.
I finished both papers like on the dot. The weather is making me sick. My friend fell sick and vomited during the paper. When i finished the table, I thought my brain juices were squeezed dry from all the confusing english.
I think its the english structure that makes it difficult. The methods are there. But the sentences are tricky at times.
Just my 2cts

Sorry, i meant booklet B. Most of my friends put 3/4 but i think that 1/4 is the right answer....
