Er ... there's this thing called 'model ruler' which is meant to fix the motor skills related problems (no. 1 and 2).

Hi, may i ask - how does a model ruler looks like :oops: and where can i get it? Dd is poor in her fine motor skills. Is it allowed to be used in exam?

It looks like a stencil except that the shapes are drawn in squares, rectangles, bars and circles of different sizes. They used to be available in bookshops but now is rather hard to find. Do ask around for it at bookshops and find out if they still sell it.

.....while algebra is more of a shortcut....

Thanks for enlightening me. Math has been my hobby and I learnt something new today. I rest my case.

I thought teachers would ask the kids to buy one at P2 or 3 bcos most of them are not able to draw models properly or equally. You may want to check with your kid's school bookshop first. If don't have, check out Popular? I always assume they are able to use it during their exams. I haven't read a rule that's against model rulers.

Actually, I have also been to a secondary school, and studied subjects other than P6 Maths, so yeah, I do know that algebra is used elsewhere besides being a heuristic. :roll:

Oh no. Never. This is strange. Even in real life, a colleague insisted that I'm from a girls' school. I always thought that it has good implications if someone thought you're from a girls' school. I take it as a compliment, even if you never intended it that way.

Why? You are huh?

You can get model rulers from Popular or yr dd's bookshop. Its about $1.80 i used to get a few cos, my ds either lost it or it kind of break easily.

whether it's a compliment or not depends on how you look at them. like if I were to ask 'are you from hc?', u'll freak out no matter how grand others think they are. Right?

anyway, I'm no IJ girl. I wear pants!!

How do you become a \"class monitor\"?

Class monitor positions are on an invitation basis. We study the contribution and savvyness of specific members and if we deem they are suitable for the class monitor position, we invite them to take up the challenge.

Oh, thanks for the info, Chief...

Hi atutor2001,


Model rulers are still not allowed! From what I’ve heard, schools displayed it and said NOT to bring it for their paper!
