Strparent:blessedami:[quote=\"ekanil\"]Hi , my son says that the pattern is as follows :
1 ---------------------12(rods needed to make a cube)
2 ------------------- 20
3 ------------------- 28
4 ------------------- 33
5 -------------------- 41
6 -------------------- 46
Thanks,
Yes, I got the first number in the series wrong, regardless of which the answer is 782.
Yes, based on my visualization of the structure, item 3 should be 28, thereby the CORRECT answer to Q17c is indeed 782.
I am utterly impressed with the kids nowadays, they can summarise almost the whole exam papers a few hours after taking it, :celebrate:
This boy JianRong and his friends deserves a pat on their back.

DS said he was only able to use algebra once and it was a giveaway ( Q18 ). We should see a lot of A* this year.
Agreed with MOE Hater, the paper should have a few tough questions, as in 2009.
I sincerely believe this year's P6 cohort is one of the best academically in recent years, though the PSLE Tscore may not reflect so ultimately, due to the relatively easy papers so far for English, maths and Chinese. Easy papers raised the Median Score and affects the Standard Deviation substantially.
Jiayu to all

[/quote]i agree. better more difficult paper so good pupils can show more potential.
heard that they qoing to raise the A star so not many pupils get A star for math.
