Hi, I'm Ai Ling Ong. I enjoy coaching students who have challenges with understanding and scoring in 'O' Level A-Maths and E-Maths. I develop Math strategies, sometimes ridiculous ideas to help students in understanding abstract concepts the fast and memorable way. I write this blog to share with you the stuff I teach in my class, the common mistakes my students made, the 'way' to think, analyze... If you have found this blog post useful, please share it with your friends. I will really appreciate it! :)

Just: "Acknowledge yourself , the fact that you know how to square double digit numbers ending with 5 only means that you are an expert compared to someone who still needs paper and calculator"

Hi alwaysLovely,
I am happy with the powerpoint slides.
Btw does that method work for only number ending with 5, cause l tried it with other numbers but fail to get correct answers.
Yes, that strategy works only with numbers ending with 5.

Thanks a lot It was wonderful experience to teach kids throgh your presentation

Hi Gracious, the strategy works when you square number ending with '5' for example 65 * 65 = ? , 85 * 85 = ?
To do this, it's extremly easy,
#1: the answer will end with '25'
#2: take the first digit (6) x (multipy by) (1 more than 6 =7)
aka 6 * 7 = 42
so the answer is 4225
:)
nim: I'm glad you like it.
This is to prove to students that Math is all about knowing & applying the strategy for them to love the subject and definitely score in exams.
