What Has My Left Palm Got To Do With Math?
Palm Reading for my Destiny? Nope.
I was recently doing graph topics with some students. And some were complaining how much they have to memorize until I revealed to them some of the Underground Secrets on Mastery Of Graphs. They were amazed and amused.

Our palms have the exponential graph embedded on them! Now you have 1 less graph to take care of. Just ensure you keep your hands nice and clean so that the palm lines stay on for you forever.
When the need to draw arises, flip that palm up :)
Warning: You ought to do it tactfully in case the invilgator suspects you of cheating. Haha

Formulae Usage On Simple And Compound Interest
We have discussed about Simple And Compound Interest using 2 case studies previously based on concepts understanding. Now we have introduced formulaes which will make your calculation faster and easier :)
To find the Total Amount based on Simple Interest, this is the formuale you can use:
An : Total Amount after n years
P: Original Principal Amount
r: Simple Interest Rate
n: Number of Years
To find the Total Amount based on Compound Interest, this is the formuale you can use:
An : Total Amount after n years
P: Original Principal Amount
r: Compound Interest Rate
n: Number of Years
Apply these formulaes to the case studies we have discussed, did you get the same answer?
Congrats!Now you have 2 different approaches, the formulae way or the conventional way to solve all Interest questions.
Keep using the strategies learnt so that you get better and better.

About Me :-)
I think it is important to add a little more taste to this blog other than the Math Strategies (A-Math and E-Math) that I have been posting on.
I decide to write more about me as a result of a MSN conversation (Oh yes, I do MSN) with one of my previous students. She is someone whom I taught when I was in a learning centre. Here's part of the conversation
B : "So what are you doing now?"
Me: " You can read more here www.singaporeolevelmaths.com"
B: wow! you still teaching Math. Is it really that fun to teach Math?
Me: "Absolutely"
To many, Math is perhaps a subject just to pass and get through.
To me, teaching and Coaching Math taught me lessons way beyond the formulas, step by step solutions, diagrams, complicated - hard to make sense topics ...
To be honest, I am not that of Math Olympiad type though I did take part in this sort of competitions when I was younger. Those sort of questions can really make you sweat literally.
I do not read Math journals, I do not have a PhD in Math either, I do not walk around memorizing formulas... so what exactly do I do? [Read more...] about About Me :-)
