      Was just about to pop a pineapple tart into my mouth but stopped in time. I think there should be a warning somewhere to tell people that some posts are really choking hazards.

        Yah!! Absolutely!! There should be some icon that marks a post as \"Read at your own risk\".

              I downloaded a few free comic ones but Ah Boy not interested as the themes are those Chinese classics, he says boring (even with the recorded playback).


              limlim, or anyone else came across interesting ipad stories for potato kids, please share. Or like MyChildren suggested, split a new post about learning Chinese - hopefully can garner as good response as the learning Maths. We did start some discussions in the 'P5' section last year but no more updates.

              PiggyLalala - if you are still reading this, your solution to the overlapping triangle is cool ! More like the unitary method. thanks.
              Glad that you like the method. You are right.. it is more like the unitary method 🙂 This method is very useful and easy to understand. When i mentioned about solving simultaneous equations in my earlier post, it means solving simple simultaneous equations like the solution that i have posted. All the numbers involved should be whole numbers, no fractions or decimals. Ds1 solved almost all the problem sums on ratios, fractions and percentages using this method. All the best to yr ds's PSLE this year.

                I was coaching my younger one on the importance of dwg models when my older one who did his psle in 2010 interrupted....


                \"but math models are just a physical form of simultaneous eqns...\" :skeptical:

                  Insider,


                  Cute & interesting article! But I still encourage my children to study smart and play hard and need to work in order to have meals at home (housework)!

                  Ya, most children are taught all days to study hard instead of learning to face problems in life and solve them. When they grow up and difficulties come, they may not be able to handle them themselves and not able to take setbacks easily.

                  😉

                    responding to the subject title… I think both played a part. Parents may not be able to come up with the materials to coach, so enrichment centers are useful in the sense there are ready materials & parents can reinforce at home especially for their preschoolers. Once in primary school, parents may be in sync with tedious science and maths syllabus so again, enrichment & tuition can relieve some load from parents. Ultimately, child must be motivated too. Otherwise no amount of parents coaching or tuition would help

                      Like Sun_2010, I find the PSLE experience invaluable in building character…


                      (1) diligence
                      (2) hard work
                      (3) be open to new methods of doing things
                      (4) persistence in the face of daunting difficulties
                      (5) stress management
                      (6) fail but keep trying
