SEC 1 (2017) MATH ALGEBRA HEADSTART (Intensive)

It is common knowledge that that Sec 1 Math is VERY DIFFERENT from PSLE Math, such that students who excel in PSLE Math can still do badly in Math at Sec 1. The KEY to mastering Sec 1 Math is to understand fully how to deal with NEGATIVE NUMBERS as well as ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS. This course will EQUIP students with the necessary skills to MASTER Sec 1 Math.

As it is a VERY IMPORTANT course, we have lined up TWO such 4-Day 2-hr workshops (total 8 hrs) to cater to the different timetables of current P6 students who are eager to prepare for Sec 1 Math. Please choose ONE of the following workshop groups.

Level/Subject:  Sec 1 Arithmetic & Algebra (S1AA)

Group 1: Days: 21/11, 22/11, 23/11, 24/11| Time: 10.00 am – 12.00 pm

Group 2: Days: 5/12, 6/12, 7/12, 8/12 | Time: 10.00 am – 12.00 pm

Group 3: Days: 19/12, 20/12, 21/12, 22/12 | Time: 10.00 am – 12.00 pm

 Group 4: Days: 27/12, 28/12, 29/12, 30/12 | Time: 10.00 am – 12.00 pm

Location:   Blk 644, Bukit Batok Central, #01-68. S(650644).

Our location is just a 3-min walk from either the Bukit Batok MRT station or the Bukit Batok Bus Interchange. Buses that stop along the roads surrounding our location are numbers 157, 178, 66, 506, 173, 174, 176, 187, 985. Buses services which terminate at Bukit Batok Bus Interchange are 61, 77, 106, 173, 177, 189, 852, 941, 945, 947.

Target Group: Suitable for post-PSLE students who wish to learn more about Negative Numbers & Algebra, as well as basic Indices.

Purpose: To give post-PSLE students a HEADSTART in the THREE MOST IMPORTANT TOPICS of secondary Math – Arithmetic, Algebra and Indices, as students who do badly in Math in secondary school are usually those who have a poor FOUNDATION in these three topics.

Topics: (1) Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of Negative Numbers; (2) Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of Algebraic expressions; (3) Simplifying Algebraic fractions; (4) Basic Indices.

Focus: CONCEPTUAL UNDERSTANDING

Format: Teaching + Worksheets + Discussions

Total Fee: $180

Background of Tutor:

The tutor is a RI & RJC alumnus and a NIE-trained ex-teacher who has been teaching Math, A.Math and JC Math for more than 8 years.

TO REGISTER, SMS <STUDENT NAME> , <S1AA>, <GROUP> TO 97860411.

For any queries, you may also talk directly to the tutor at 97860411.

As places are limited, pre-payment is encouraged to confirm your attendance. You can make cash or cheque payment by visiting the centre at the address above.

MUST-KNOW PSLE MATH PROBLEM 3

Question:

Three boys spent the same amount of money on printers.

Henry spent 2/5 of his money, Jonas spent 3/4 of his and Fred spent 2/3 of his.

They had a total of $1440  at first. How much of money did each boy spend?

————————————————————————————————-

 

 

 

Answers:

Since Each boy spent the same amount of money, you make the numerator the same.

Henry                                    Jonas                                   Fred

2/5   x 3                                  3/4 x 2                                    2/3 x 3

6/15                                           6/8                                           6/9

The denominator now  represents the total Units they each had.

15 Units                                 8 Units                                   9 Units

TOTAl Amount: $1440

Total Units : 15+8+9= 32 Units

32 Units -> $1440

1 Unit -> $45

 Since Each of them Spent 6 units,

6 Units-> $45 x 6 = $270.

Each boy spent $270.

——————————————————————————————–

KEY WORDS/THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR?

1) It is a Fraction question

2) It has words like Spent/used the Same/Equal . 

I have made another similar sets of question  below for you to MASTER THE TECHNIQUE. Let us know what are your answers on our  Facebook Page “‘ https://www.facebook.com/SingaporeLearner/”.  All the best for your revision.

——————————————————————————————-

Question 1:

Mary and Tom used the same number of beads to make jewelries.

Mary used 2/5 of hers and Tom used 3/4 of his. They both had a total of 2300 beads.

How many beads did each of them use?

 

Question 2 :

There are 540 people in Block A and Block B. 2/5 of the people in School A and 1/4 of the people in School B are Children. Given that there is an equal number of Adult in both Block A and Block B, how many Children are there in School A?

MUST-KNOW PSLE MATH PROBLEM 2

Do you know WHEN and HOW to use the Row-Minus-Row Method? This method is used when the question involves several relationships between multiple items and for each relationship a Total is given.

———————————————————————————————————–

Question:

Kyle bought 6 similar pencils, 3 similar books and a file for $78.

1 pencil and 1 book cost $20.

1 pencil and 1 file cost $12.

What was the cost of the file?

———————————————————————————————————–

Solution using the Row-Minus-Row Method:

Given 6p + 3b + 1f = 78  ———–Row 1

Given 1p + 1b = 20

So 3p + 3b = 60  ———– Row 2

Row 1 – Row 2:  3p + 1f  = 18  ———— Row 3

Given 1p + 1f = 12

So 3p + 3f = 36  ————- Row 4

Row 4 – Row 3:   2f = 18, so f = 9.

Ans:  $9
