What about question on rectangle and square in paper 1, anyone has the ans?

MummySTay:

Any idea what the question is about?

Accordingly to DD2, question was something like this:
Two wires of the same length are used to make a rectangle and a square. The length of the rectangle is 5 times that of its breadth. The length of the square is 9.2 cm shorter than the length of the rectangle. What is the length of the rectangle.

VC's mum

DS said answer is 23cm.

dear Verysuperkiasu

the answer is 24 days everyone in my class got that. the person started reading on saturday so:
15x4=60
30x3=90
90+60=150 - 1 week
525/150=3 r 75
75 - 30+30+15
3x7=21
21+3=24
so the ans is 24

phew...thanks!

[quote=\"MummySTay\"]Hi Guitar, how did u get 26? Because Qn 15 asks for least no. of days. I agree this is a trick question, so cannot start reading on Mon. Must start on either Thurs or Fri. Then can get 24 days. My DD also got 26, but she knows her answer is wrong.

Aiyo, i got 26 also. My son said it's 24. So the answer is 26 or 24?

Ans. 24 days[/quote]I got this wrong as I wrote 26. But 2 of my friends got it right
they wrote 22. they started on friday
PS:they usually get 100 in math

ppnqq:

Any of your kids teachers or tutors spot Science questions? Can share which are the topics and type of questions are a \"die die\" must revise one? Too many to cover, not sure where to start off and which part to revise more. TIA.

Hard to spot. Just go thru past papers your child did esp those got wrong. Just to share what atutor has so kindly shared - u can go to PSLE science thread (dont know which page):
basically

Section A - 1 qn 2 marks, can't afford to get more than 2 wrongs. Read the stem of the qn CAREFULLY - look out for words like 'possibly' 'definitely', 'all', etc. Look out for labels for diagrams. Look at all options b4 deciding on the answer - cld be tricky.

Section B - read qn carefully. Circle certain key words in the qn which are clues. Identify which concept qn is testing - then come up with the relevant key words. Make sure answer is complete.

Hope it helps.....sometimes wish I could sit in with my son to remind him the above!

Oh yes, do your kids find the paper difficult, easy or moderate?

I personally find it easy.. I am a P6 student. Many of my classmates all :rahrah: cuz the paper 2 was easy.
