Trust me! I have advised, scolded, counselled him several times... But when he said it will settle his mind, I let him

Hi parents,

I should say that the maths PSLE paper 2 was neither too dificult nor too easy.It is a easy paper but most questions are indirect.Once you past that,the question is as easy as ABC.I would advice the next year PSLE students to go to the toilet after 30 minutes from the starting time.This strategy relaxed my mind and i was relaxed.I did most questions quickly.Hold on there,i am going to post the last question of the paper 2 later.
cheers

I have just done the PSLE Mathematics paper and I say it was deceptively simple. Very easy if you see through the question.

Last Question of Paper 2:

(34-4)/2 = 17
17*50cm*100cm = 85 000cm3
85 000cm3+100^2cm3 = 95 000cm3 --> area of footpath
50cm/2 = 25cm --> radius of circle
(3.14*25^2*38)cm3 = 74 575cm3 --> area of all circles (38 circles)
95 000cm3-74 575cm3 = 20425cm3 (a)

17*50cm*2 = 1700cm or 17m (b)

Hope this helps!

yeah... you typed wrongly, its supposed to be cm2 for (a) ...

DD says English was very easy and Math was even easier. She says it was so easy she could finish the paper in 1h O: anyone can confirm paper 2 18a)?

PSLE can use correction tape? :scratchhead:

not advised. teachers are worried that students might forget to write after they taped what they wrote

85 000cm3+100^2cm3 = 95 000cm3 –> area of footpath

95 000cm3-74 575cm3 = 20425cm2 (a)

Hope this helps!




My DS says his answers seem like this too…
