Dear Students & Parents,

With slightly 1 more month to the start of 2008, I am sure you are equally excited as me to start the brand new year. For all students, it will be another good year I promise as long as you start it on the right note :-) For all Sec 3s taking both A/E Maths, you might find it slightly overwhelmed by numbers, algebra initially but given a short period of time, I am sure you can quickly adjust to the environment.

During this holidays, I am coaching a few students, some on headstart, some on revision programme. And I notice something when I signed in at Condo apartments, there are in fact quite a number of students who are having tuition as well. Well, being in consistent touch with books is book lest the brain gets rusty haha!

Enrollment for my GCE O Level A/E Maths 2008 Individual Coaching has started.

E-Math Note : Usage of bracket in Expansion

Another TIP for students taking Elementary Mathematics (E-Math)

Qn: Expand and Simplify the following:

(y+z)^2-(y-z)^2

Method 1 : Expansion using one of the Algebraic rules

(y+z)^2-(y-z)^2
=y^2+2yz+z^2-y^2-2yz+z^2

Did you see what is not right?

Method 2: Recognizing (A)^2 – (B)^2=(A+B)(A-B)

so (y+z)^2-(y-z)^2=(y+z+y-z)(y+z-[y-z])

Start of School Holidays!

Secondary school students have already enjoy close to 1 month of holidays while primary school students just have their fun beginning.

I was talking to a parent recently and I realize how much autonomy MOE schools have nowadays. They can decide when to start holidays, when not to have classes.

Education system is opening up, recently there was a report on home schooling in Singapore which is something really popular in US.

E-Maths Note : Algebraic Expansion

This is a topic some of which is learnt ever since Primary 6.

Through my years of coaching, I notice quite a handful of students form blocks when they dealt with this topic that starts with “A” and ends with “a”.

Haha! Yes! It’s Alegbra! I was introduced of this thing in Primary 6. It was the ONLY method my dad taught me to solve word problems then. I didn’t understand what he was telling me…. totally huh? huh? huh?

Well, I am glad I figure out the x-es & y-es eventually. Many students tend to see algebra to be abstract. In fact, it can be explained in terms of apples, oranges, pears …. ( This is my ONLY drawing subject- basic fruits) Those who have the “good fortune” will know the level of drawing :-)
