2012 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

[care07]

My DS’s school will be having a motivating talk on next Monday, hopefully this talk can really motivate him.


Will share here if they have notes for this talk. Parents & kids, jia you, jia you.

[fifiyeo]

My DS will be in P6 next year. This year his grades in school has slided quite a fair bit. Can’t imagine the school actually telling parents that it is normal to drop 10-20 marks! Very worrying indeed…makes us feel that by next year, my DS will fail his PSLE and never move onto a sec school.

Oh yes, I read that book too. My boy find the book amusing maybe he finds some similarity between him and the boy.
Same here, my DS1 is so busy with his school work that we also find it difficult to do revision. We have came to an agreement to start PSLE preparation this year end holidays.

Can share the name of the book?

James Ang:

Who in P6 this year can solve this 2009 PSLE Maths (5 marks) question? (*Page 72, Q16 in the new PSLE Maths 5 year series.)


Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim's sweets to chocolates became 1 : 7 and the ratio of Ken's sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?. (PSLE 2009, 5 marks)

The model methoid is a pain. just use ratio and basic algebra and there u hv it. I was in P6 last year and i solved that question in 4 minutes munching on popcorn. Most of my friends cud do it too. dun understand the fuss over the question :roll:

What is the answer for this qn? Tia
May I know the answer? Is it 60?

*mouth drops open*
*tries to solve*
*Gets answer using algebra*
HAHA I'M A CHEATER!
This is an awesome question!


A few tips:

List down all given info systematically
Use a bit of algebra if you want
DRAW MODELS. This is important. The previous cohorts did not do that and did not score as well as they should have.

Good Luck to all P6's
