End of Semester 1... :)

Hello, professors!

Congratulations to you for surviving one semester! Please give yourself a pat on the back if you have been working hard.  :)

While you deserve a chance to unwind during the June holidays (Yes, you do!), do set time aside to do regular revision. Spend more time practising the areas that you are weak in.

The next few months will be more intensive as we prepare for the upcoming PSLE. The journey may be tough but fret not. We will all be here with you on this journey. :)

Remember, just do your best and you will be the best. Persevere on, work hard & smart. You can do it, awesome professors! :)

Here's a video for you. Take care and have a meaningful holiday! =)

SA1 Maths Honour Roll

Dear professors, 

Thumbs up for the superb effort in the recently concluded SA1 exams. :) Many of you have persevered on and you went all out to identify the concepts, tricks as well as apply the strategies taught. I am really proud of you and your achievements. After 1.5 years of hard work, we are finally starting to see more of the fruits of our labour. Well done! :)

Do continue to work hard and smart. If you have not achieved your best, reflect on what you should improve on and work on them. 

Always remember how far we have come since our 5D days. Have faith that we will do well if we are diligent and resilient. :)

Lastly, my heartiest congratulations to the following:


Professors who improved by leaps and bounds in SA1. A noteworthy mention - Professor Afiq improved by 20 marks ;)


Awesome professors who managed to achieve our class goal this time round :)


The brainiest Maths professors in the class :)

Speed

6D professors experiencing how long it takes for one minute to pass... It's great to hear them share their strategies on how they estimated the duration of one minute. :)

Speed

Hola, Maths professors!

Let's learn more about speed.

Speed is a special kind of rate. When an object is moving, the speed of the object is the rate of distance covered per unit time.


 



In a nutshell, speed is the distance travelled per unit time. 
Do remember the following three formulas well.
Note that the units used in D, S & T must correspond to one another.
 
Three triangles show the three distance, speed and time equations. The first shows distance equals speed multipled by time, the second shows time equals distance over speed, the third shows speed equals distance over time.

 
Here's a video to help you remember how to get the formulas...
 
 

Oh yes! Just a question.
There are many different types of units that can be used for speed e.g. m/s, km/h, m/min, cm/s
How do we know when which units are more appropriate?

And now, it's time to learn about the amazing wonders of Mother Nature! :)
 



The speeds indicated in the video above is the average speed. This is because the speed throughout a journey may not be constant all the time.


Average speed = total distance covered ÷ total time taken

The average speed is not the sum of two speeds divided by two.

 
Our Task
1) Time your journey home from the same starting point in our school.
2) Record the time taken (duration).
3) Find the distance travelled using Google map.
4) Calculate the average speed of your journey.
5) Repeat steps 1 & 4 the next morning while you are on your way to school.
 
Have fun & we look forward to hear you share about your experiences! :)
