Catholic High (Primary)

JonC:

I am refering to this year's P5 Kindness (P5E & some HCL) and P5 Goodness (P5F & HCL), the 2 better classes.


My boy not in these classes. He is in another also some HCL class (shiiiisss....).

Talking about breakneck speed, the school has covered in P5 some P6 topic already.

So once school start, its \"cheong\" all the way.

Yes get ready to *cheong*. Prelims start in April.

230.


You mean below 230 cannot stay.

Also should depend on outside student’s score right. What if outside students go below 230 (I know unlikely to happen as they set at 250)?

Dear all,


Understand that Catholic High’s Mathematics Head of Department has published a book on problem-solving. Any of you can share with me the exact title of this book the head of department publishes ?

Thanks.

Rgds,

Yes, what you say is correct. Outside student coming in is 250. So the school set at 230 for their own primary students.

Hee hee, the book’s publisher name is Catholic High.


Only available from the boys’ teacher in class room when the boys pay, I mean must pay.

It say school copyright, no reproduce without school permission.

Actually maths no need to stick to particular book or books.


You need to grasp the concepts first, by studying one book or multiple books

Next apply the concept/concepts to the question until you see the question you know which concept/concepts to apply.

Some questions need to apply more than 1 concepts, some can apply different concepts to solve.

Once achieve above, you need to practice more to gain speed and accuracy (I mean pure calculation part).

Ah, actually in CHS, they just use their own materials that you buy in a file. But now that the school didn't achieve whatever national position for this year altho' chs was #2 position last yr, I wonder if the \"file\" still effective or not. *haha*
