Mum_sugoku, it's ok, my DS also told me not to inform the forum about his class!!!

:thankyou: I suspect he's worried that I'll bad-mouth him in the forum lor, haha.

ha ha same here my DD also very scared I join PSG or joining the forum. They do not wish to be famous in school, humble Dunmanians.[/quote]More like they are \"thin-skinned\" (脸皮薄) lor :rotflmao: - Just joking, ya agree that Dunmanians are generally quite humble and down-to-earth.

Help!

How to do these questions?
3+4+5+6......+200=
10+12+14+16+......+400=
TIA.

200+3 = 203, also
199+4 = 203,
198+5 = 203, etc etc.

Which means you should have (200-2)/2 = 99 sets of \"203\"
Hence answer is 99x203 =20097.

Likewise for 2nd series,

400+10 = 410, 398+12=410, 396+14=410, etc etc.

Which means you should have (400-8)/(2x2) = 98 sets of \"410\"
hence answer is 98x410 = 40180.

(PS: similar question had come out in PSLE maths exam. Can't remember which year though)

Thank you so much, mum_sugoku for taking the time to explain.

Incidentally this question (with a slightly different set of no. series) is actually quite \"notorious\" bec on the year that it appeared in PSLE maths, many students found the paper so tough that some (>1) parents actually wrote to ST Forum to complain about it- citing this question as 1 example :mad: . ST later followed up with an article on that \"killer\" paper - complete with solutions to the \"tough\" questions, including this one.. And that's how I get to know how to do it.. :boogie:

Hi,


Any of your dd/ds signing up for the spore math Olympiad?

What if the training sessions clashes with the CCA? Is it ok to miss CCA during those timing?

But shouldn't it be teachers selecting the participants for maths Olympaid? Anyway when I asked DS, he said he never heard his teacher mentioned anything on this..

:scratchhead:[/quote]Oops. Don't think DS has checked his email yet. No wonder he didn't know anything :oops: . (Luckily you mentioned it, I shall get him to check his email ASAP). Thanks langMum

Don’t think the Maths Olympiad training will clash with CCA as it is on a Tue, and I do not remember any CCA being on Tue. The consideration should be if your kid is interested in Maths Olympiad. Tue is a rare short day, when the kid can have a break, catch up on homework and rest. Unless the kid is interested, no point making him / her stay back in school for training at 4-5.30pm and end up reaching home late and tired.


Beauty is training seems to be heavily subsidized. Wonder how big is the class???
