Hi Ms Pang,
Pls help!!
Q1) Mother bought a bottle of coking oil. For the first week, she used 1/2 litre of cooking oil. For the second week, she used 1/12 more cooking oil than the first week. Mother was then left with half the full bottle of cooking oil. How many litres of cooking oil did she buy at first? (Express your answer in the simplest form)
Q2) There were thrice as many men as women at an exhibition. After 45 men left the exhibition, there were twice as many women as men that remained behind. How many men and women were there all together at the exhibition at first? Draw a clearly labelled model as part of your method.
Q3) Crate A contained 6 times as many clocks as crate B. When 1215 clocks were transferred from Crate A to Crate B, both crates had the same number of clocks. How many clocks were there in both crates?

RE: Anglo-Chinese School (Junior)
My son hasn’t had much luck with the teachers there… let me tell you what we have experienced this year.
1) This strange teacher orders the class to switch off all the lights and place their heads on the tables while waiting for the next teacher to appear. You know what? On certain occasions the waiting time is so long that some kids have a real good nap.
2) We requested for one booklet as our son misplaced his ( for the first time this year) this is what the teacher emailed us:
The oral book is given to the boys at the beginning of the year. Each boy is only entitled to one. I have a few boys told me that they have misplaced the book. I have asked them to look for it first and some of them found it. For those who could not find it, I have lent them my book to photocopy. Please try to look for it first. If you cannot find it, do let me know and I will lend my copy and you can photocopy during the weekend. Thank you for your understanding.
<I cannot understand why the teacher doesn’t even keep spare copies of it! I mean does the teacher expect all 7 year olds NEVER to lose their stuff? >
3) Another boy in the same class told his mother that the teacher was not able to teach the higher order thinking skills for math. Initially, I thought her son was just being cheeky… until mine told me the same!
4) My husband and I were so shocked to receive a flyer requesting for us parents to donate money to fund the Teacher’s Day luncheon!
There are just too many incidences through out the year to list… Another colleague of mine who is also a teacher simply said that it just gives such a bad impression of the school especially if you are in the school for the first time.
