Science tip: “The weight of an object is also its mass.” This is really awkward to explain because we use kg to measure both weight and mass. -Weight is the pull of the Earth’s gravity on mass and is dependent on the gravity experienced (so an object will have a different weight on the moon).[…]
Wrote this on the board before my P6 class at 7:30pm, hoping they will start to have a sense of urgency soon.#皇上不急太监急
This is a very tough question. Try this and see if you can solve it without using algebra. Andy, Betty, Candy and Danny each have some money. The amount of money Andy has is 1/3 of the total amount of money Betty, Candy and Danny have. The amount of money Betty has is 1/4 of[…]

Despite the MOE’s good intentions to move towards a more inquiry-based learning, and to cultivate inquisitiveness, it does sometimes seem like the exam format is penalising those who do not memorise and regurgitate model answers.[…]
This is a tough question that helps with a bit of guessing (yes guess and check is a valid method). “In a school, the ratio of the number of pupils who wear glasses to the number of pupils who do not wear glasses is 11 : 5. 2/3 of the boys and 7/10 of the[…]
