The following is a suggested solution by our H2 and H1 Math Tutor, Mr. Teng. Please note that it is a suggested solutions and was rushed out. Mr. Teng omitted several presentation steps out of convenience. There might be alternative solutions at times too. Feel free to comment and discuss. We will try our best to answer.

Errata:

Qn3 I misread it. Answer should be 2/3 and need not be evaluated.

Qn5i I copied wrongly off GC. answer should -3+4i. It shouldn’t affect the back parts.

Qn7 I copied wrongly off GC. So rounding off, the answers should α=1.885(3dp)

Advice and tips from Mr Teng for H2 Math exam 2014 paper 2

Please focus on tomorrow’s paper 2 and not let paper 1 affect you too much.

Errata:

Qn3 I misread it. Answer should be 2/3 and need not be evaluated.

Qn5i I copied wrongly off GC. answer should -3+4i. It shouldn’t affect the back parts.

Qn7 I copied wrongly off GC. So rounding off, the answers should α=1.885(3dp)

Much thanks for those that point it out.

Reflections on my JC1 H2 Math headstart class this afternoon

Posted on December 15, 2013 by admin

I was quite excited to start the lesson, as I had not seen some of my ex-Sec4 tutees since the O-level exams started. It’s amazing that they even want to come for this jc1 h2 math lesson, as O-level results will only be out around 13 Jan 2014. But they understood my rationale for conducting this headstart class – it’s not really a headstart class; it’s actually a catch-up class as many of their IP peers have already learnt today’s topic – the Binomial Series.

I began by making them recall something more familiar, the Binomial Theorem, and proceeded to show them the difference between the two. A few times during the 2 hrs they lamented how their brains have become rusty since the end of the O-level exams. It’s obvious when they started asking me “what to do” with the expression |x| < 1.

It took about 1 hour before the mathematical part of their brains began to awaken, and then they were able to solve a H2 math question at least halfway. Now at least they are proud that they are able to solve a JC math question before entering a JC.

For the next lesson on 22nd Dec I’ll be covering Permutations & Combinations, another topic that most IP students have learnt. Then they asked me about Jan – will I be waiting for their O-level results to be released before resuming this J1 h2 math class? We discussed this a bit and we agreed that we shall not wait. This because even after receiving their O-level results they have at least one week of orientation, and it will be almost Feb before formal lessons actually start. As the h2 syllabus is heavy, it would be unwise to start learning later.

———————————————————————————————————–

The above solutions had been worked out by Mr Teng.

Errata:

For qn 3(I) line 7, the denominator of the third derivative of f(x) should be of power 4 instead of 2.

For qn 4(I), was some scanning error. The answer is 40.4.

For qn11(III), I made a terrible mistake and forgot the third case for which exactly three letters same AND two digits same. The permutation for that will be (26×9).

11(iv) I made the mistake of double counting and arranged after using the permute function. The following is the full solutions

Case 1: Exactly one vowel and 2 different consonants and exactly one even digit

(5C1)(21C2)(3!)(4C1)(5C1)(2!) =252000

Case 2: Exactly one vowel and 2 same consonants and exactly one even digit

(5C1)(21C1)(3!/2!)(4C1)(5C1)(2!)=12600

P(exactly one vowel & exactly one even digit) = (252000+12600)/(26^3*9^2) = 0.186 (3SF)

Disclaimer: We welcome fair comments and discussion. The answers were rushed out and done while Mr Teng was in between classes too. So there are errors definitely, so many thanks for all who point them out. 🙂

Integrated Programme (IP) Math

Posted on October 6, 2012February 13, 2016 by admin

IP students always give me headaches because they come from different schools and have their own syllabi, to the point I’ve kind of decided not to take in any IP students anymore. I’ve taught students from RV, ACS(I), NJC, RI, RGS, HCI and NYGS.

But now I’m in a dilemma, because my existing IP students are asking me to continue guiding them. Two YR4 RI boys and a YR4 RGS girl (plus her friend) are asking me to have a headstart programme in Nov/Dec to intro them to H2 Math. A YR2 NYGH student is asking me to do the same for her YR3 Math. The problem is, they may not all fit into the same session because of differences in availability and level.

If I were to proceed, it would be 2-hr sessions, lecture cum discussion style, and if they are spread out across several sessions in the same week, I would need a few more students to join us to avoid boring and expensive one-to-one tuition. So if you are an IP student and in the same level (preferably even same school) as them in 2013 (YR5 or YR3) and you need a headstart in Math, please consider joining us. You may contact me at 97860411. Thank you.

JC1 H2 Math reflections …

Posted on March 26, 2012February 13, 2016 by admin

I had my first JC1 H2 Math tutee yesterday. True enough, I expect some JC1 students to start looking around for a tutor sometime in March, when most would have received their first test results at JC level.

The topics we covered were Binomial Series and APGP. Not surprisingly, the student had scored A1 for her Additional Math last year, but still struggling with beginning H2 Math topics. Didn’t I say this before, that H2 Math is significantly more difficult than A. Math? JC1 students must take their H2 Math very seriously, else I can guarantee that their Math results would mostly be S’s and U’s throughout the whole year.

For example, Binomial Series is much more difficult than the O-level Binomial Theorem. They may have the same fundamental formula, but the former has many more ‘tricks’ to look out for; ironically, it is this familiarity with the binomial expansion that deceives students into taking this topic lightly, as in the case with Inequalities. As for APGP, although it is not really very difficult, it is very new to most students who have never studied Series and Progressions before. In fact, the Summation sign itself is very alien to most new JC students.

To be good at Binomial Series and APGP, you first have to be very competent in Algebra and Indices. Additionally, you have to have this habit of writing out the first few terms and the nth term of an unfamiliar sequence or series when confronted with the difficult questions. But if you are good at being careless, you are finished.

Lastly, I have one advice for H2 Math students: Beware of the topics Vectors and Complex Numbers. : )

A. Math Reflections – Inequalities

Posted on February 21, 2012February 13, 2016 by admin

I find that a lot of A. Math students, even JC students,
are weak in solving inequalities. For A. Math, some of the common
mistakes are:

(1) thinking that (x-4)(x+1) > 0 means that (x-4) > 0 or (x+1) > 0;

(2) thinking that (x^2 -9) > 0 means that x > +- 3;

(3) forgetting to change the inequality sign when multiplying or
dividing by a negative number, especially ‘hidden’ negative numbers such as
log(0.7).

Many JC students are also weak in solving inequalities, probably
due to not overcoming misconceptions abt inequalities when they were in
secondary school and new challenges posed by Inequalities in H2 Math, such as
in solving (x+2) / (x-3) < 0.
