JC 2 H2/H1 Math Reflections …

I was teaching the Normal Distribution last night, including using it to approximate the Binomial Distribution. As usual, students have difficulties with the following:

(a) knowing the difference between Var (X1 + X2 + X3) and Var (3X), and knowing WHEN the question refers to which;

(b) doing continuity correction for P(X> k) or P(X < k) when X is a discrete variable and there is a need to approximate its distribution to Normal.

I suggest students read their H2 Math textbook carefully and thoroughly, if their own JC notes are inadequate. As you know, in Math, mistakes done at the START of the working will most likely cost you ALL the marks even if your answer is one page long.  : )

The Importance of Sec 2 English, Math and Science …

I wonder if Sec 2 students realize how impt their studies are. Streaming to Sec 3 is done based on your performance in English, Math and Science in Sec 2. It determines whether you will be allowed to do Additional Math and the Pure Sciences at the O-levels, which in turn will affect the kinds of academic subjects that you can take at the A-levels, which ultimately will have an impact on the course that you can choose to do at the university.

Essentially, how you perform in school in Sec 2 will affect your career choices some day. Unfortunately, many Sec 2 students are not mature enough to understand this, and end up regretting later. Of course, EVERY academic year is important, but some years may impact your life more than others. It is not necessary to stay alert and study all the time, but students need to know when to work and when to play.

Sec 4 IP Math class starts today …..

Just finished teaching the basics of Differentiation (chain, product & quotient rule) to two post-sec 3 IP students this morning. They are from RI and RGS. If you wish to join us, give me a call at 97860411.

Tuition is not just for weak students. Sometimes, you just wanna get ahead of your peers. Headstart classes also make it easier for you to learn in school later.

Do NOT practise Math the day before ……..

If there is one really important advice I would like to give to students currently doing the ‘A’ and ‘O’ level exams, it is that you MUST NOT do math problems the day before and the few hours before math exams. If you do, chances are high that you will get a “mental blockage” during the exam, e.g, confusing between differentiation and integration.

My own personal experience supports this advice. Throughout my years in RI, the highest marks for a math exam that I obtained was for the one that I completely did not do any kind of studying the night before; I topped that exam, even outperforming all the gifted students (I was not in the gifted stream). Similarly for my PSLE exam.

About three years ago, one of my A. Math students did not heed my advice. She called me immediately after the first paper, crying and telling me she lost 20 marks, because she left those questions unanswered at all. When I asked why, she said she couldn’t think at all during parts of the exam and she admitted she did problem-solving in the morning before the exam. After heeding my advice for the second paper a few days later, she called back to say it was very easy. Her overall result: A2.

No athlete or sportsperson exercises or practises the day before a competition; the body needs a total rest. Similarly our minds also need to rest as exams are nothing more than a mental exercise and a mental competition.
