regarding RRMummy's question on 'durian puff & cream puff' at P1 SA1 Paper 2,
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?

RRMummy:
I think this question is very unclear. When I first read the question, I asked myself, how do I know how many cream puffs or durian puffs the mother has baked. If mother only bake 5 cream puffs and 5 durian puffs, the answer will be only 3 ways, that is, 5C and 3D, 4C and 4D, 3C and 5D.The standard these days ah.. really :siao:

:stompfeet:
Of course, if the child has exposed to such questions before, he should know that in such questions, we always assume that mother has baked more than 8 cream puffs and durian puffs to be placed in the box. -

so it is number bonding, most assessment books and math enrichments focus quite alot on number bonding... I can see why now, to tackle such crazy questionsregarding RRMummy's question on 'durian puff & cream puff' at P1 SA1 Paper 2,

YKVT, you asked your DD, i daren't even ask, confirm give me a blank look also :rotflmao:

YKVT:
Haiz just ask my K2 DD this question (verbally). She got no idea what I am talking about. Stress!!!!!!!!!!!!
Maybe you could give her 4 red pens and 4 blue pens to play with. Tell her that she needs to put 4 pens ( can be red or blue ) into a pencil box. What are the different ways? You may need to show her one or two ways first: Example: 4 red and zero blue, 3 red and 1 blue.
Afterwhich, I am sure that she can tell you a few other ways. However she may not be able to list down ALL the ways. This is where you then have to guide her again to the more organised way of doing such question.
Just my sharing. Hope you dont mind. Have FUN
