Hi mathspark,


So the Math textbooks no need to buy. Thanks! So the Maths teacher gave out notes to the Sec 1?

I wonder is there any changes in the booklist for Sec 1 next year? I was thinking of getting the textbooks early, then get my not so hardworking son to go thru some topics early. I've copied down the booklist you posted in Dec last year Very helpful indeed, I found out that my Sec 3 girl can pass some of her old text books to DS. We can save a bit of $$, thank you!

How is your son coping? Is he enjoying his lessons in school ?

Is there a lot of project works in 1st year? What kind of project work is it?

Oh, is there a need to buy notebook for DS? Do they use computer to work on project very regularly?

Is RI a 'Future school' ? Some Sec schools are using the Fujitsu Tablet PCs b'cos they are the 'Future school'. The tablet PC is so costly ($3k+) and heavy!

Thank you in advance!

There are many projects, for history, geog, chinese, maths and english. There's also a research education project which take place over the entire year.

Computers aren't necessary, as most projects will not require computers to be used at school.

Hi TAS,

It is best for you to seek Uncle Mark's advice. You can learn about how he fixed the machine.
... how...

Model ans: It is best for you to seek Uncle Mark's advice to learn about how he fixed the machine.

Don't omit keywords, like the \"learn\" part in the sentence. I think marks get deducted because it changes the meaning slightly.

Hi,

I need some help on \"human skeleton\" in Q11 of
http://www.orlesson.org/orp/09Sc/2009-Sc-SA2-MGS.pdf.

Is the option 3 (model ans) correct?

Many thanks.[/img]

Yes, it is no. 3.

RI lets students in sec 1 go for MEP.

Hi. I would like to say that sometimes, "peeking" into your child’s diary/blog/facebook IS beneficial. If, for example, the child is having suicidal thoughts but is not showing it to his/her parents, but only writes it in his/her diary, then the parent should check the diary occasionally to ensure the mental/physical well-being of the child.

Is it decided by MOE or the individual schools, whether to take in 3rd lang test marks into the total % or GPA calculation ?


I have heard in HCI and DHS, the students can choose to take in or not to take in the test marks of 3rd lang into their end of year % calculation. Is it true ? :?

Usually GPA is calculated using Maths English Chinese Science, and the highest among History/Geography/3rd Lang.

So if 3rd lang is better than hist. and geog, it will be calculated into the GPA.

I think. Don't rely on me:) I may be wrong

:thankyou: all

Just copy/paste the sum into google, with the [ ] converted to ( ).

Google can be used as a calculator. And yes, the answer is 0.4

Thx

I'm mathsparks' son.
