My DS going SST next year. Any parents can share some experience?


We are staying in Yishun, do you know if there is school bus? When I asked during registration yesterday, I was told so far students there do not take school bus. :?

(Disclaimer : I'm not a kiasu parent, but then a normal student LOL)



Hm.. Depends. Anyway I'm going to SST next yr too :D.

Anyway, I doubt they have school buses since SST students come from all parts of Singapore.

For the trip to SST...

Depends, I live in Chai Chee and the fastest way to SST is taking the feeder bus from my house and take the train to Clementi. If you would like to go to SST by the fastest way, you would need to take the southbound train to Raffles Place, then cross the platform to the other side and board the westbound train towards Clementi.

When Circle Line stage 4 and 5 open, you can take the southbound train to Bishan and change to the Circle Line and board the train to Buona Vista and change to the westbound train and alight at Clementi.

The reason why we wouldn't choose buses is, like in Bedok, there is Svc 7 that goes from Bedok to Clementi, but it takes 1 hour compared to the MRT that only takes 37 mins. So.. you kinda get it. Buses might be affected by road conditions and stuck in heavy congestion. So, you can't really plan your trip everyday.

I suggest using Acroball for writing. Its ball point and its smooth. Its $1.75 in Popular but the pen refill is sold out at most Popular stores.


Anyway today PSLE English exam was EASY!

Eh wait, from what my teacher say, Friction pen has one major flaw. It might reappear after awhile. So, if you used it today, it might re-appear maybe next week? It could re appear any time. Same applies to those inferior correction tapes.

Can anyone help with this:

Rearrange the following words into a sentence.

\"he missed because he late was the bus\"

Answer 1 : He missed the bus because he was late.
Answer 2 : He was late because he missed the bus.

Which answer is correct and why?
Thank you.[/i]

If you choose answer 1 , you are saying that he missed the bus because he was late.

If you choose answer 2 , you are saying that he was late because he missed the bus.

Let me rephrase the answers above in another way


Answer 1 : He was late, so he missed the bus
Answer 2 : He missed the bus, therefore he was late.

You can't be saying that \"The express bus went because I was late.\"
You should be saying \"I was late as the express bus went before i reached the bus stop\"

Hi Maths Guru please help :?: DS cannot solve and I also cant do


My friend and I went to a bookstore to buy books. We bought a total of 18 books over the last 3 days. The number of books I bought on the third day is equal to the sum of the total number of books my friend bought on the 2nd day and third days. The number of books my friend bought on the first day is 2 more than the sum of what I bought on the first and second days. How many books did each one of us buy?

ME MY FRIEND

Day DAY
1:2:3 1:2:3

(1u-1):1 (1u+1):1

Meaning

Me bought 1u-1+1u= 2u-1
He bought 1u+1+1u=2u+1

9-1=8
9+1=10

Me - 8
He - 10

hi all


appreciate your help in the problem P6 Hokkien HK prelim Q15

A car and a coach travelled from Town A to Town B. The coach left Town A at 0648 and it took 5 hrs to reach Town B. The car started 30 mins later than the coach and it took 4 hrs to reach Town B. At what time did the car catch up with the coach? (ans 0918)

I saw the solution somewhere but don't understand so can't explain to my DS.

Thanks

Uh....

Coach travels 1/5 OR 4/20 of the distance every hour
Car travels 1/4 OR 5/20 of the distance every hour

1/2 * 4/20 = 2/20

5/20-4/20=1/20

2/20 divide by 1/20 = 2

0648-> +30min -> +2 hours -> 0718 -> + 2 hours => 0918h

ANSWER 0918h

Hi Mathsguru,


I have a math problem. Hope you can help me with it.

3 boys shared a box of oranges. Ted took 1/3 and 6 of the oranges. Bob took 1/2 of the remainder and 9 of the oranges. Ken took the last remaining 5 oranges. How many oranges were in the box at first?

Thanks in advance!

5+9=14
14*2=28
28+6=34
3/2 * 34 = 51

CHECK
Ted - 17+6= 23 | 28 left
Bob - 14+9= 23 | 5 left
Ken - 5 oranges.

Hi I have one question


Paul and Ray worked together to paint a house. During the job Paul rested for 4 days and Ray took 2 days off. However, they were not absent on the same days. If they had done the same job alone. Paul would have taken 18 days and Ray 12 days.

How long did the two painters take to complete painting the house?

Paul - 1/18 / day
Ray - 1/12 / day


During Paul's off day :
Ray did 4/12 of the job


During Ray's off day :
2/18

1/18+1/12 = 2/36 + 3/36 = 5/36

1 - 4/12 - 2/18
= 8/12 - 2/18
= 24/36 - 4/36
= 20/36

20/36 divide by 5/36 = 4

4 days + 4 days + 2 days = 10 days.
