What to Revise

Please revise (in order of priority):

1) Ratio / Percentage Kits

2) Practice Paper One

3) Choose your strategy Worksheet

4) All your topical reviews

5) All other worksheets

Do not just look through the sums. You need to redo them. Practice makes perfect.

REWARD: For every 10 problem sums you redo, I'll give you a resilience chop. You need to show me evidence of the re-doing though.

If you have time, please complete the Set Theory Worksheet. Bring Percentage Kit on Monday.

Praying for you. Remember what Dominic said today - he suddenly knew how to do a sum after he had prayed. Prayer works miracles. However, you need to keep working hard.

All the best. Your revision period can be fun if you make it fun. :)

Revise!

Please revise Q1-16 in Practice Paper One. Redo the sums again in your notebooks or on another sheet of paper. I will choose a problem randomly and test you on that tomorrow. Please do this revision seriously.

I've just marked your percentage test.
Highest - 20/20
Average - 12.1/20
I really hope you all will put in your utmost effort. The teachers are suffering from lack of sleep trying to mark your work and prepare for the lessons. I hope you will strive to do your best too.

God bless.

Palace Ball Preparation

Dear Princes and Princesses,

Today, we converted more fractions into percentages. There are three methods you can use:

Method 1 (Convert the denominators to 100)
E.g. 2/5 = 40/100 = 40%

Method 2 (x 100%)
E.g. 2/5 x 100% = 40%

Method 3 (Unitary Method)
E.g.
5u = 100
1u = 100/5 = 20
2u = 20 x 2 = 40
Thus, 2/5 = 40%

Hope you enjoyed the chocolates and the cake.

Homework:
1) Sorry! I made a mistake on the pages. You should do p. 69 - 72 (Practice 2) of the workbook. Please help to spread the word around to your friends if you are reading this. Thanks! Have a good weekend.

Percentage in Newspapers

We learnt how to convert percentages to fractions and decimals.

In groups, we were supposed to look up how percentage is used daily.

Homework

Most of the period was taken up by photo-taking today. :(

Homework:
1) Identifying the Strategies Worksheet p. 1-3 (Remember to highlight the key phrases)

We are going to have a surprise visitor on Friday! Guess who?

Percentage

Today, we learnt how percentage is used in real life. For example, about 7-10% of the world's population is left-handed. We also learnt how to convert fractions and decimals to percentage.

Fractions to percentage
31/100 = 31%
7/10 = 70%
1/2 = 50/100 = 50%

Decimals to percentage
0.44 = 44%
0.7 = 70%
1.25 = 125%
1 = 100%

Homework:
1) Please do p. 65 and 66 of Workbook 5B.
2) Place the ratio worksheets (from Workbook 5A) in your Maths files
3) You need today's newspapers for tomorrow's lesson.

Enjoy your evening.

Ratio Kit Revisited

Today, we went through all the problems in the ratio kit. Phew! We have finally conquered the whole kit. We'll start on Percentage tomorrow, so remember to bring your 5B workbook.

Have you figured out the pattern in the animal magic trick? Heehee......Who is brave enough to try the tapping tomorrow?

Have you solved the "termite" problem yet?
Here is the problem:
4 volumes of an encyclopedia, numbered 1 through 4 from left to right, have been placed on a shelf. Each volume has 500 pages. The thickness of each 500-page volume is 2 cm and the thickness of each cover is 0.25 cm. If a termite eats page 1 of volume 1 through page 500 of volume 4, what distance will it have travelled?
Stand to earn 10 points for your group if you write down the correct answer and steps in your notebook.

Have fun. :)
