Dear all,
Sigh!!!....

For those who have been revising and putting in effort, good job. For those who did not give your best, you really have to do some reflection this holidays.

Pupils who have been playing the computer games and been involved in all distractions, you must be more discipline next year.




91 -- 100  == 14 pupils
85 -- 90    == 8 pupils
82 -- 84    == 8 pupils
77 -- 78.5 ==  4 pupils
70 -- 74    == 2 pupils
66 -- 69.5 == 2 pupils
50 -- 52    == 1 pupil

Create questions

Dear All,

As mentioned in the class on Thursday, 17 April 2014, we are learning to craft questions.

This was the question we were discussing :
Mrs Roslan has 9 m of ribbon. She sold 1/5  m in the 
morning and 7/10 m in the afternoon. How much ribbon has 
she left?

Solution : 
Total -----   9 m
morning ----- 1/5 m
afternoon ---- 7 /10 m
 left ----  ?
Remember her we are talking about quantity. 

We must make the denominator the same and add them
  2/10 + 7/10 = 9/10

9 - 9/10 =  8 1/10

She has 8 1/10 m of ribbon left.


Now, you have to clone a question. To clone it, you can keep the content the same, 
just change the number.

Example:
Mrs Roslan has 10 m of ribbon. She sold 2 1/5  m in the morning and  4 3/10 m in the 
afternoon. How much ribbon has she left?


Solution 

Total -----   10 m
morning -----2  1/5 m
afternoon ---4  3/10 m
 left ----  ?

2 2/10 + 4 3/10 = 6 5/10

10 - 6 5/10 = 3 5/10
                 = 3 1/2

She has 3 1/2 m of ribbon left.

Of course, you can change the content by replacing it with another name and variable.

Example:

Mrs Tan has 12 kg of flour. She used 3 1/2 kg of flour in the morning and 5 3/4 kg in the 
afternoon. How much flour is left?


Solution 

Total ---- 12 kg
morning -- 3 1/2 kg
afternoon --- 5 3/4 kg

3 6/12  +  5 9/12 = 8 15/12
                          = 9 3/12
                         = 9  1/4

12 - 9 1/4 = 2 3/4

She has 2 3/4 kg of flour left.

Now that you have some ideas,

Please craft 2 questions based on the question given above (in purple). One keeping the 
content intact, just change the number, the other change the content, just like the two examples 
given above.

Please come with solutions too.

Do them on a piece of foolscap paper and then we will discuss on Monday.


Homework : 
Remember to do the Onsponge Pg 75 and 77.

Happy Good Friday:))

Love you,
Mrs Mak

Multiplication Tables

Dear all,
You have to master your multiplication tables in order to move forward. Please memorise the tables every night before you sleep.

Announcement
I hope you have viewed the attachment on graphs.

What I need you to do now is to tell me when do you use a bar graph and when do you use a  line graph. Give me examples.

If you are not sure, view the attachment again.

Deron, thanks for your suggestion to change the name to Eagles. I thought for now, P4-3 is easy to remember. We will monitor and see how we progress in Feb and March and then we will get the class consensus on the naming of the blog, what do you think?

Love you,
Mrs Mak
