List of ‘Top’ Secondary Schools (2018) in Singapore by Cut-Off PSLE aggregate score

Dear Parents/Students.

Here is the list of the ‘top’ 40 secondary schools by COP for 2018. I have chosen to cut the list off at the COP of 232. If a school has both IP and non-IP streams, the COP listed is only for non-IP. If a school has both Affiliation and Non-Affiliation groups, the COP listed is only for the Non-Affiliation group. Please note there is more to choosing secondary schools than just their cut-off points. If you wish to here from me more about choosing secondary schools, please attend my free Talk this coming Sunday 25 Nov from 5 pm to 6.30 pm (Talk on Choosing a Secondary School by our Principal Educator)

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

Question:

The ratio of Eric’s money to Kim’s money was 3 : 1. After Eric gave Kim $60, the ratio of Eric’s money to Kim’s money became 3 : 5. How much did Eric have at first?

———————————————————————————————————–

Solution using the Storyline-Balance Method:

E         :        K

At start:         3u       :        1u

Story:             – 60             + 60

At end:         3u – 60        1u + 60

Final ratio:      3       :       5

So 5 sets of (3u – 60) = 3 sets of (1u + 60)

15u – 300 = 3u + 180

15u – 3u = 180 + 300

12u = 480

1u = $40

So at first Eric had 3u = 3 x 40 = $120

Ans:  $120

Note:

The above is just one method. Another method requires you to notice that in the above problem, the total number of units remain the same as it is an INTERNAL TRANSFER or TOTAL UNCHANGED situation or concept. However, using the Storyline-Balance method, you don’t need to know what has been unchanged.
