So very proud of my student's achievements...

Yesterday, when I had the usual lesson with my student, she enthusiastically showed me this...

My first reaction was "WOW!" Second was still "WOW!" Well done, Jolene! She had received an all-rounder's award from her school for achieving good academic results, good leadership and good CCA records. This award was only given to 1 person per stream per level. I must say she indeed deserved this award!

By the way, she was also awarded vouchers for being top in school for Maths and Geography in Sec One. Great job! So happy for you!

Using PSLE 2015 Maths Strategies approaches to solve PSLE Maths past year qn (2013 & 2014)

Using grouping approach enables students to see what is in 1 group and thus visualize better.

Branching helps student to see part whole relationship and understand fractions multiplication.

Ratio is the easiest way to break down a fraction and very useful in many types of percentage questions.
