Term 3 Week 7 Mini Project (Last one for the term)

Hi Parents,

As the pupils have 5 days this week at home, I have decided to bring forward the last mini project which is supposed to be on next week to this week. This will be the last one for the term. haha...

The pupils were given an activity worksheet for equivalent fractions in class.

They are to:

1) Cut out the 12 squares
2) Fit them together again so that the edges with fractions numbers touch the edges with a corresponding picture equivalents.

Below is the hint to get your child started.

As usual, the submitted masterpieces with correct answers and are most pleasing to the eyes win!

Have fun! Happy National Day!

Cheers...Mr Ang

Term 3 Week 6 Math Mini Project

Dear Parents,

It’s the time of the week where you get the chance to work with your child again! This week, we are going to explore how your child spends one of his/her most exciting day within the week!

Through this activity, it will heighten your child’s awareness in how he or she spends the day. It will also allow your child to apply his or her knowledge in fractions in this activity.

Below are the instructions.

1) Work with your child to decide on which is the most exciting day for him or her.

2) List out all the main activities in the day, including sleeping, on a piece of paper.

3) Taking one day (24 hours) as a whole, use fraction to represent the amount of time spent on each activity.

4) Allow your child to present his or her findings in anyway. Some examples include the use of pie charts, fraction bars, bar graph etc.

5) Last but not least, the top 5 pieces of work that are most pleasing to the eyes win.

Kindly get your child to submit his or her little masterpieces to me by next Monday!
Have fun! Cheers...Mr Ang

Hello all! I'm here again!

In the second part of the our water conservation projects, we have some very interesting end products! Permissions are obtained to broadcast all these video clips from the pupils themsleves, their parents and the school.

Teacher's Reflection

What was first planned to instill the importance of water conservation in my pupils turned out to produce more take-aways than expected. It is exceptionally pleasing to see pupils tapping on the opportunities given to them to go the extra miles in completng their task. The little ones are very motivated and are all willing to put their newly-learnt knowledge into actions. This is very encouraging and we, as adults, have much to learn from them!

Singapore Dance Week 2011 Bollywood Mass Dance by Aspara-Asia, Arvind Naidu

Hi folks,

I happened to come across this video clip which I could not resist sharing with all of you! Haha...
And... you are probably right, it does not really have anything to do with Mathematics except for the "short duration" of the song and the "number of dance steps" one could possibly count within the short video clip. :P

Anyway, let's just enjoy this and life is something more than just Mathematics! Enjoy!

Cheers... Mr Ang
