Helen and Ivan had the same number of coins. Helen had a number of 50-cent coins and 64 20-cent coins. These coins had a mass of 1.134 kg. Ivan had a number of 50-cent coins and 104 20-cent coins .

(a) Who has more money in coins and by how much?(2)

(b) given that each 50-cent coin is 2.7g more heavier than a 20-cent coin, what is the mass of Ivan’s coins in kilograms? (2)

My daughter managed to get this right but took her a while to figure it out.

Thank you for sharing. It is much easier to read the slides presenting the solution this way.

Would this be the question that's stressing the students out?

My sis forwarded me this suggested solution to the question above. https://www.facebook.com/nicklebee.tutors/posts/4949062438454414

I don't recall the PSLE being this tough back when my child was in primary 6.

In the past, the T-score could be moderated if the cohort does badly overall. Not sure if moderation is still possible in the \"AL\" scoring system.

This question may seem difficult for parents who are not familiar with the new methodology of problem-solving.

For parents who are familiar with what this generation of students are learning, you will recognise that this question is simply a combination of model drawing analysis and assumption method.
e.g Instead of say 4 wheels/legs minus 2 wheels/legs x no of parts. For this case, it is 2.7g x no of parts (which is 40)

Well, it might be plausible that there has been a shift in how PSLE problem solving is taught. Just like how I remember learning algebra back in primary school decades ago, while my child was taught model drawing instead.

Would this be the question that's stressing the students out?

Algebra is allowed, it's in the syllabus

It is strictly not allow in problem solving. you will get only answer mark but not working mark.

I believe the all the P6 teacher has highlight this issue to the students many times. Strictly NO algebra allow, else no mark will be given for the working.

Perhaps this is only for your school exam papers. For psle, as long as the algebra is used correctly, it is acceptable.[/quote]That was what I was told back in 2012. Algebra is accepted in the PSLE examination.

For usage within the school setting, it depends on the HOD.

Hi,


I am looking for a JC Chemistry tutor for my daughter. She is in JC1. Any good recommendations? Will prefer a centre in the bukit timah/central region. Female MOE JC lecturer familiar with the new A level syllabus preferred.

Hi macncheese, I have replied in the adjacent thread. Will repost here for your convenience.

I will thoroughly recommend Ms Chen from Nicklebee tutors. She is a very experienced ex-Meridian JC teacher and she now provides group chemistry tuition at Bishan and Punggol. My neighbour's son was tutored by Ms Chen in 'O' Level chemistry.

Her colleague, Mr Zhou, is a very popular math tutor and has been guiding my boy in mathematics for the past few years. Perhaps you could visit their website at http://www.nicklebeetutors.com

Noted with thanks. I have heard of Mr Zhou math tuition at nicklebee tuition centre but I didn't know they provide chemistry tuition too. How did your neighbour's son do for his GCSE O level chemistry?
