MOE Hater:

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

So sad after CA2. My DS still just wants to play and waste time everyday…results getting from bad to worse. His behaviour is just like my ex-maids…try to do everyday as slowly as possible so maybe won’t have to do any revision.


Any suggestions as to what to do with him?

Send him to Adam Khoo, Mindchamp or any other school which u know of.

[Herbie]

if his mind set remains unchanged u can send him to the best tuition centre in town, is not gg to work.

Attitude determines altitude

Yuh…Attitude is the key. Now the question is how to change that ATTITUDE??? Sigh…
