This is the PSLE Examination Guide that I share with my P6 students to offer them some tips on examination techniques, particularly on time management. Many P6 students may not manage this well as PSLE will be their first major examination in life. It is therefore important to offer these students some guidance to avoid them losing precious marks due to poor time management, careless calculator key errors, etc.
Share these tips with your child if you are in agreement with the proposed techniques.
All the BEST to the P6 Children.

http://i42.tinypic.com/1zyajp3.jpg\">$600 is shared among 3 friends in the ratio of (2a+3):(a+2):(3a+4), where a is a positive number.
(i) If the smallest share is $125, form an equation in terms of a and solve it.
(ii) Hence, express the given ratio in the simplest form. Pls help solve plus working.

http://i40.tinypic.com/2qatxeg.jpg\">Hi, I need help with this question.
The ratio of the number of pupils in group X to the number of pupils in group Y was 3:4 at first. 1/3 of the pupils in group X and 7/12 of those in group Y were boys. After reshuffling 30 pupils between the two groups, the number of boys in each group became the same. The number of girls in each group was also the same. How many pupils were there in each group at first?
Thanks.

Hello Everyone!
Pls do help me with this question!Thanks in advance!
80% of the people in a room were adults.75% of the children in the room were boys.There were 36 more boys than girls.Some boys left the room,after which 10% of the remaining people in the hall were boys.How many boys left the room?
Hi Mary Joy,
The question has 80% (4/5) and 75% (3/4), hence we start off with 20 units (5 x 4) as the starting total number of units. This will ensure that our branching into \"Adults\", \"Boys\" and \"Girls\" will be nice whole number of units for each component.

RE: Q&A - P5 Math
carol73:
mulia and jackson each have some money, if mulia spent $80 per day and jackson spent $40 per day. mulia will have $500 left when jackson has spent all his money. if mulia spent $40 per day and jackson spent $80 per day. mulia will have $1100 left when jackson has spent all his money
what is the amount of money jackson has?
Hi Carol73,
One possible approach to solving this type of question is as follows:-
To ensure that we are comparing \"like with like\", we compare how much Mulia spends for the same $ 80 that Jackson spends (common multiple of $40 and $80).
For every $ 80 that Jackson spends, Mulia spends $160 under scenario 1 and $40 under scenario 2, a difference of $120.
In total, Mulia spent $ 600 more under scenario 1 compared to scenario 2 ($1,100 - $500).
$600 / $120 = 5
Hence, we know that Jackson spent 5 x $ 80 = $ 400 in total when he had used up his money.
The workings will be as follows:-
http://i39.tinypic.com/4lj8ra.jpg\">
Check:
If Jackson has $ 400, he will take 10 days to finish spending his $400 under scenario 1 (10 x $40 per day). In the 10 days, Mulia would have spent 10 x $80 = $800. Mulia still has a balance of $ 500. Hence this implies that Mulia must have $800 + $500 = $1,300 at first.
Let's check.
Under scenario 2, Jackson would have taken only 5 days to finish his $400 (5 x $80 per day). In that same 5 days, Mulia would have spent only 5 X $40 = $200. Mulia still has a balance of $1,100. That implies that Mulia has $200 + $ 1,100 = $1,300 at first (agrees with scenario 1).
Hence, we know the answer is correct. Jackson has $400 and Mulia has $ 1,300 at first.
