SA1, Paper 2 2011.

Mother has baked some cream puffs and durian puffs. She wants to put 8 puffs into a box. In how many ways can she put the puffs in order to have at least one of each kind of puffs in the box?


:stompfeet:

oh gosh, is this P1 or P2? :shock:

huh, instead of asking hw many puffs of each flavor in each box become hw many ways can she put

actually i donch understand this question at all

Cream Puffs : Durian Puffs
1:7
2:6
3:5
4:4
5:3
6:2
7:1

Ans:7 ways?

it's a heuristic question. All the possible combis from 7 cream puff + 1 durian puff to other way round. all in 7 possible ways.

But it really is a higher order question for a P1 lor.. such a long winded question, further more child has to also process the \"in order to at least have one each\".

haiz.. I don't know what to say abt the exams these days.. :frustrated:

Yup 7 ways. I'm just bringing myself to back to when I was 7 years old, and I'm sure to me it would have been super tough.

I have started revision for her by letting her do 1-2 sets of past year papers for different subject during daytime and then i will go through her mistakes after dinner and then prob a tv show or games for an hour and sleep.. where is my holiday i wonder?


Teacher said her listening comprehension is weak so i bought an assessment book on it.. havent had time to get started on it... another 2 weeks, school reopens.. aiyoh...

I have 1 assessment for each Eng component...yet I'm dragging my feet to get the comprehension done...very sian.
The holiday I'm enjoying now is not having to look at the clock all the time, wake up at 6...oh yes not looking at the calendar as well :roll:
So when I read 'school reopens' in 2 weeks time, I feel very sian :gloomy: although some peace in the morn.

I didn't try to solve the Maths question posted by RRMummy...burns too many brain cells but it's ridiculous for a P1.

rosemummy, would you be ok to share which pri sch this is...?

[poppy15]

Suddenly makes me feel like eating cream puff and durian puff now...but sorry, this kind of question is absolutely too difficult for even a P2. It is inhumane to set such questions for lower primary.
Anyway, if I go back to P6 now, I will fail my Maths miserably :slapshead:
