O level A-Math Essential Concepts Workshop Student's Feedback [Including Parent's Comment]

Dear Ms. Ling,
Thank you so much for the photos and looking forward to the work she has done for the past 4 days.
I'm very contented that she has learnt alot from this workshop and my money is worth it. Appreciate you help in motivating and making A-Maths a joyful and interesting workshop for my kid.
Tks, Shoba (Parent of Devyaah)

“I have benefitted a lot from this workshop. Ai Ling has put across alot of different and creative ways to make us understand the complex concepts in A-Maths and make it easier to remember the various formulas. I haven't been getting good results in my school exams but through this workshop, I had learnt the common mistakes I always make and had understood the concepts better. I will really recommend the workshop to my classmates as I think it has been really beneficial for me. Thank You (=”

“Very good, I understand the concepts better and know how to apply the formulae. I have improved and am happy about it. This programme focuses on the key concepts.”

“I like this workshop very much, I really learnt alot!! I like the way you teach I can understand easily, the story makes us remember the most and all the different types of methods you used to teach us I love them. I will remember it forever. The music make me feel like the environment is good for learning and it prevented me from getting too stressed up. I like the way you help me to recap yesterday's things and your method of teaching us is so special. Thank you!!"

Jonas Tan, Regent Sec Sch

“I came into this course thinking that I wouldn't learn much but I was wrong. I've learnt alot more than I imagined I could in four days. I would definitely recommend this to others. I have learnt a great deal and it definitely has helped me a lot. I've not been for other programmes so I wouldn't know how to compare but this definitely is one to remember. Thank you for the assistance you have given me for the past 4 days. I'll continue to look at A-Math in a new perspective. Thank you for your 100% attention towards us to improve our A-Math”

Day 1 of 'O' level A-Math Essential Concepts Revision Workshop [Photos]

It was awesome start for the 4 days A-Math Essential Concepts Workshop.
Here are some pictures and for those who missed out this workshop, I'll be sharing in the next few posts some of the fatal mistakes (Quadratic Equations, Logarithms) you must NEVER make!

Let's get the house rules right on day 1 before we begin learning.

Happyeeee after the lemon tea drink

Sec 2 to Sec 3: How To Prepare Yourself For Elementary Math

I have earlier written an article on Sec 2 to Sec 3: How To Prepare Yourself For Additional Math

For those who aren't taking additional math, how can you prep yourself this holiday? (Note: I ain't telling you to burn your holidays mugging. Nope! But I mean to say have some work time and play time!)

I remember I was given quite a bit of holiday assignments during Nov/Dec holidays. Read in Facebook comments, this is still the ongoing trend in schools. Finish those work fast (No motivation? Get friends to complete the work together )and you can play for the rest of the days! Do not be like majority of the folks who wait till the end of the holidays, only to realize school is starting in a few days time that they start knowing that homework is due.

What I personally suggest for prep for Sec 3 Elementary Math is to ensure that your Sec 1&2 foundation topics are built upon on solid ground (These topics are tested in 'O' levels and every often schools do not have the time to revise thoroughly during term time)

Some of the foundation topics are listed below:

  • Making subject formula
  • Algebraic expansion rules
  • Algebraic factorization
  • Properties of Angles
  • Mensuration (New syllabus e-math has formula provided in exams)
  • Similarity & Congruency
  • Statistics (Mean, Median, Mode)
  • Equation of lines

These topics involve some fundamental applications which will be revisited again in Upper Sec.

Some of the Major Sec 3 Topics you would be expecting include:

  • Indices (*new)
  • Quadratic Equations (*new+very important)
  • Congruency and Similarity (*revision+application)
  • Graphs (*new+add on from Sec 1/2)
  • Properties of Circle(*new)
  • Trigonometry (*new+very important+high weightage in E-Math & A-Math)
  • Co-ordinate Geometry (requires basics from Equations of lines from Sec 2)
  • Arc Length & Sector Areas (used to be A-Math topic but included in E-Math now)
  • Quartiles & Percentiles (Statistics)
  • Matrices (*new)

(Those highlighted ones are the topics which are heavily weighted and you must pay more attention in following through. They are also fundamentals you would need in A-Math as well)

You may want to familizarize yourself with the 'O' level E-Math formula provided but in school tests and exams, some schools choose not to provide.
