To KK and XR: SPM Maths Recruitment Training

Our new tutors for SPM Maths are Zhen Yuan and Joon Geap. Both ur QM juniors. XD

They have opted for trainings on 27th, 28th and 29th. So hopefully you guys are free to join in? Cause' right now quite short of time. 19th their prom lo, 20th me and XR teaching, then 21st to 24th I at Penang. O.O and only coming back on 25th. So...suit both my time and their time now lo. hahahaha XD

This is currently my plan for the training sessions:
Training will be focused on 27th and 28th. 29th will be their "test" on presentation skills and Maths knowledge for Jan and Feb syllabus (Chapter 1, 2, 3 for both Form4 and Form 5)

Basically we need to guide them on how to teach and tell them some tips and what's important for these chapters. I plan to do Form4 chapters (Chapter 1, 2, 3) on 27th, and Form 5 (C1,2,3) on 28th. 

So...instead of sitting down looking at the book together, I think we will do it the presentation way. When they come in the morning, they will take turn to teach all the 3 chapters. So like that we can know both their presentation skills and knowledge (You dunno the chapter sure cannot teach well lo, so yea)

So 2 people x 3 chapters = 6 presentations. O.O After every chapter, we discuss with them what's important, where need improvement those lo. Then maybe after lunch if got time we ask them to re-present the part which we think need improvement? Like chapter 2 sub chapter 1 not good just do that sub section no need redo everything la.

I dunno if you two will be busy with Physics and Accounts stuff or not la, so just putting it here to inform you. If possible I really hope you two can make it. XP Cause' you know la, presenting in front of someone you dunno, very gan jiong one. I know Ah Geap la, but dun really know Zhen Yuan so sked he feeling uncomfortable. So if you two there all QM kaki lang maybe he will feel better la. XD

Then after the 2 days training, 29th they will sit for a knowledge test (Test on F4 and 5 Chapters 1, 2, 3) and a presentation test (Present in front of a volunteer Pre-F4 student, then let the student take a 20 minutes test see how much the student absorbed from their teaching). XD

House Cleaning: About our rack

Hi gam do wai!

Our Homework Rack is super super tidy leh! *sarcasm* Unmarked homework has filled 50% of the rack, and another 50% are the model papers that were accidentally collected. Time to give them back lo!

And ps: all unmarked homework are from PMR. <.< So jealous. SPM want mark oso dun have. U all appreciate cepat go mark all of them! XP

And our returning homework are still pending~~~The return file oso FULL dy. And this consist of both PMR and SPM.



Next is our book rack. Quite luan a bit la. The racks are mixed with all PMR and SPM books. And used notes are everywhere. The rack got many many previous months' notes from various forms. We need to arrange them in order jor!


Find one day do housekeeping? Then shunbian berbonding. XP Maybe next Sunday?

and ps: I dunno about PMR, but SPM haven do teaching demo. Maybe can do in the same day?



Thats all about my reporting. XPPPP

this week updates! 25th july to 31st july

sorry guys, first, Liang jie is lazy, Liang jie is busy and Liang jie is sibeh worry on his PMR students.
we need some changes in our PMR syllabus planning.
Dear all PMR tutors. please TEACH trigonometry USING material Photostat by Liang Jie at the top of the shelf, if you cant find Please Let me know, i will let you know which book.

what to teach in trigo?
we just have to teach this.
1. TRIGONOMETRY is merely a part 2 of Pythogoras Theoram and combination of Form 2 Ratio, we are still learning RIGHT ANGLE TRANGLE, and must let them understand how to differentiate where is OPPOSITE, ADJACENT and HYPOTENUSE.

2. by using the paper i photostat, ask them to write down all the O, A, H on every right angle triangle in EVERY single question.

3. Start Asking them to REMEMBER this 3 formulae
TOA 大
CAH 脚
SOH 嫂

or

SOH
CAH
TOA
a handsome guy name haha (by yi shuian)

tell will ask what is theta "θ", is just an UNKNOWN for ANGLE. YOU DONT KNOW THE ANGLE, instead of use x or y, those alphabet, we use theta, looks PROer. haha

4. then start question with them. applying the O,A,H into TOA, CAH, SOH.teach them how to apply ya! and look properly ohh, You need Ratio.

5. Please call Liang Jie (017-381 7670) when u READ this, earlier on Monday Morning! i NEED TO LET YOU KNOW SOMETHING.

Trigo

PMR learn SOHCAHTOA dy right?

Now Trigo in Form 4 got 3 things to know:
1. unit circle and corresponding angle (IMPORTANT! and hardest to learn)
2. Special angles. (not in SPM, basically is shit unless school teacher decide to kena them)
3. Graphs of sin tan cos


If u look at the unit circle above,
1. it is cut into 4 parts, each part called a "quadrant".
2. the quadrant starts from top right, called quadrant I, then go anti clockwise, quadrant II, III and IV.
3. The radius for this circle is 1 UNIT. So if you draw any right angle triangle that TOUCHES the circumference, you can see that the hypotenuse is FOREVER 1. (Important theory to know if you are working with sin and cos)
4. How to measure angle? Basically the angle is measured from the X-AXIS of FIRST QUADRANT
Example:

a. If you look at the all the circles, all the GREEN colour angles are the ORIGINAL angle formed by the red line and x-axis. (ignore the black line that forms the triangle for now)
If you can see, these angles all start from the x-axis from 1st quadrant and turn until they reach the red line.
b. the BLUE colour angle that you see, is what we call CORRESPONDING angle. As you can see, corresponding angles are LESS than 90 degree, and measured STARTING from the x-axis on its own quadrant. (For first quadrant, ori angle = cor. angle)

c. So original angle in
Quadrant I = 0.000000000001 to 90
Quadrant II = 90.0000000000001 to 180
Quadrant III = 180.000000000001 to 270
Quadrant IV = 270.0000000000001 to 360 or 270.00000000000001 to 0

d. Relationship between cor and ori angle
In Quadrant I, ori = cor
Quadrant II, as you can see, ori + cor = 180.
Quadrant III, 180 + cor = ori
Quadrant IV,  ori cor = 360.
(Different book give different rules, actually is just 搬来搬去 only, like quadrant II they give 180 - ori = cor)

5. If you form a triangle on each quadrant (Now look at the black lines),  As you know, we can find cos sin tan on every right angle triangle using adjacent, opposite and hypotenuse lines. Because original angle is more than 90 degrees, we only find the cos sin tan for corresponding angle.
SOHCAHTOA
cos = adj/hyp              sin = opp/hyp              tan = opp/adj

Notice that in any of your quadrants, adjacent line falls on x-axis, and opposite line falls on y-axis.
Ok, so now we are finding VALUES of cos sin tan in EVERY quadrant.

In quadrant I, both x-axis and y-axis are positive, and hypotenuse is positive everywhere (Pythagoras Theorem, even if  'a' or 'b' is negative, after square is positive, so 'c' is positive)
So cos is +x/1 = + value. ('x' because adj falls on + x-axis line, so we use +x)
sin is +y/1 = + value
tan = +x/+y = +
So in first quadrant, ALL positive

Repeat for every quadrant, you will get:
Quadrant II: cos tan -, sin +
Quadrant III: cos sin -, tan +
Quadrant IV: sin tan -, cos +

If you summarize from Quadrant I to IV, it is ALL, SIN, TAN, COS positive
So use this to make them rmb: All Scientist Talk Crap, OR All Science Teacher Crazy (Not Science Tutor ar! Later Science Dpt have war with us liao LOL)

So this is the first thing that we can get from unit circle. Second thing is, how to find the trigonometric value of an angle, given the coordinates?

Refer to the first diagram again.
 Can you find value of the angle "teta" given that (x, y) is (0.6, 0.8)?
Rmb just now we say adj = x, opp = y. So now adj = 0.6 units, opp = 0.8 units.
So we can use any of cos sin tan to find teta (I will put teta as O for now)
tan O = opp/adj
tan O = 0.8/0.6
tan O = 1.33333333
O = 'shift' tan 1.33333 (use calculator, IMPOSSIBLE to use your brain)
O = 53.13 degrees

Very easy right? Now lets use harder examples.
First thing to do:
1. Determine coordinates, quadrant, and in that quadrant, sin cos tan which is positive.
2. Work out solutions

1. Coordinates of Q are (-0.5, -0.87). In Quadrant III, tan is positive, sin cos are negative.
2. sin O is opp/hyp, = y/1
    sin O = -0.87 = D

Now, can you find WHAT is ANGLE O?
sin O = -0.87
If you follow the workings in the previous example. You will not get your answer.
O = 'shift' sin -0.87
O = - 60.46???? (NEGATIVE?) negative actually means turn in the terbalik way, means instead from quadrant I x-axis turn anticlockwise, we turn clockwise 60.46 degree. That will bring us into Quadrant IV, but the answer isn't correct either, we should be in Quadrant III. HOW!!!????

So this is the limit of calculator. Because sin O = -0.87 GOT TWO ANSWERS. one falls in Quadrant III, one in Quadrant IV. (All Scientist Talk Crap, sin is negative in Quadrant III and IV). Calculator can only show one answer. So students always panic, cannot get answer.

So now the trick is, use CORRESPONDING ANGLE APPROACH.
So now, take away the negative sign. Let sin O = 0.87. In these questions, tell students that negative or positive is just INDICATOR to tell you whr the quadrant is.

sin O = 0.87
O = 'shift' sin 0.87 = 60.46

Now you know that the corresponding angle is 60.46, how to convert to original angle?


In Quadrant III, ori angle = 180 + corresponding angle
Therefore, The angle that we want is 180 + 60.46 = 240.46.
So we found the answer, dont need to use the 'negative' sign at all. So must tell them, when press calculator, DONT input NEGATIVE, or else confuse themselves only. (of course if you are pro, know the theory super superbly well, can work de, but I myself oso tend to get confuse so I dont recommend input negative)

So typical exam question is like this de:
WALAO A! WTHBBQOMG

In these questions, things to do:
1. Put all the info given in place
2. Determine whether to use ori angle or corresponding angle. (99.9% use corresponding de la, whr got test ori so easy de?)
3. Determine the relationship between ori and corr angle, and find the quadrant
4. Find out in the quadrant, sin cos tan which is positive and negative
5. Work out solutions.

1. cos x = 3/5, means adj/hyp is 6/10. Hence AC is 10cm, and BC will be 8cm.

2. We need to find y. y is greater than 90 degree. So we use corresponding angle to help us to find original angle.

3. Whr is corresponding angle???? you can see that y is outside the triangle. The angle ACB (next to y) should be corr angle. Means corr + y = 180. 180 degree is in which quadrant? In quadrant II lo. (90 to 180, dun take 180 to 270)

4. In Quadrant II, sin positive, tan cos negative

5. We are finding TAN y. Tan y = - tan (angle ACB) <------- see the negative? Cause' in quadrant II, corresponding tan is negative.
tan (angle ACB) = opp/adj
tan (angle ACB) = 6/8
tan (angle ACB) = 3/4
tan y = - tan (angle ACB)
tan y = - 3/4 = C

So you can try to find angle y also. ;)

Answer: 143.13 degree

YAY NOW WE FINISH 1st part. Still got special angles and graph OMGWTFBBQMCB.

Special angles actually is derived from 2 types of triangles.
To see how to derive, see http://sk19math.blogspot.com/2007/05/special-angles-in-trigonometry.html

You can combine the sin cos tan to see a clearer picture. I will upload last year notes for your info. the notes oso got how to derive but very simple version, and got give you a list of the angles

Part III, graph. See the notes la LOL
1. In their syllabus, only 0 to 360 degree. they only need to know sin x, cos x, and tan x graph. If they ask got -sin x ar, sin -x etc etc ar, tell them NO, that is in Add Maths, and say "i think u are in wrong class u can go AM class now" lol
***** But 2005 they got ask sin 2x. But i dunno why, cause' shouldn't ask de. If sin 2x, the graph basically becomes
If sin x goes up and down within 360 degree, sin2x goes up down up down.
If sinx = 1, x is 90
If sin 2x = 1, x is 45 lo. (Sin 2(45) = 1), so at your x-axis, sin 2(180) = sin 360, and sin 2(360) = sin 720. Means if you have sin2x graph, you basically draw sin x graph twice. You pick few points then try to plot la then I think u understand de.

2. Their careless mistake: Example,

Most of them will choose A. Because they just look at the shape of the graph then put. So dikenakan dy. They din check the x-axis. x-axis is until 180 only. Because for A, the x-axis should be until 360 degree. So 180 degree should be half part of the graph only. Answer is C

Thats all you need to know for Trigo. Walao A...I think my longest post ever.


Thats all la. Signing off noobiak. Paiseh 2nd part 3rd part very rush cause going out for wedding dinner jor.

some tips in teaching form 2 cirlces

Monthly Meeting?

Firstly, HAPPY TEACHERS' DAY TO ALL OF US! haha. XD today is Teachers' Day le. haha

Shall we do a monthly meeting? XD

Things that we can do:
Formal things:
1. Update on students, teaching and stuff
2. Notes preparer can talk about suggestions on how to use the notes, and those using notes to teach de can give idea on how to improve notes. :P
3. Dpt head brief on what's going to happen
4. Sesi kutukan (if any, must be honest! for bonding purpose XD)

Informal things:
1. Crap, gossip, TTC hot news! (who kao who, who paktoh with who, who got new target etc XD private within maths ppl!)
2. Movie, cheong k, makan, do some sports to gam fei haha, etc etc

So morning we can do formal de, then whole afternoon till night we can fo informal de, good leh? kekeke.

On on? if on every week de 10-ish weekend we will on the meeting.
Reasons for 10-ish:
1. Notes finish give IA by 8th dy. If got delay de oso should finish by then (you know maths de la, delay is our signature).
2. Its middle of month with less workload. End of month need to start doing new notes ar etc.

good idea leh? faster comment your opinion on cbox. XD If all agree then no one can ffk cause' its our date! XD reasons for ffk is unacceptable unless got family thing and exam, or other reasonable reasons. (Do notes not acceptable! XD

Happy Belated Birthday to Shiuan & Nicole! XP

Yesterday we celebrated Yi Shiuan & Xiao Rong's belated birthday! A success surprise until I on loud speaker and Liang Jie say the word "cake" when calling me (cause' Yi Shiuan was on my car). gg.com

Nevertheless I think everyone enjoyed la. ;) Except someone ffk us...ngiek ngiek ngiek. (Kar Yaw not counted cause not in town haha) Food nice nice? Later suggest wrong place then not good jor. haha. Hope u all like the food. XP

Ok noobiak signing off, just to do some update to clear some dust haha. tata

To KK

LJ suggest that we come out with a few sets of model paper for F4 F5 mid term preparation, cause he thinks that EFC is not enough.

Btw, I just knew that May no need prepare HW but our notes already printed...=.=" so I oso dunno what to do with them. LJ say up to tutors to decide. If you think that topic is important you can let them do some lo, or else just treat it as In Class Practice. If let them do at home no need pass up oso. If they want answer I can send you the file then we just print out for them lo. So depends la, if you all got ask them do then tell me I send u the file. XD

For the model paper, we can discuss some of the important topics in class with them, or ask them to mark down and do at home as HW lo. Since no HW for them ma. Then tell them no need to pass up ba. We will give them full solution so ask them check themselves ba.

We will need 3 sets of model paper/revision kit for each form.
For Form4:
1. LJ has 2010 past year, so can scan edit then can print dy
2. I will look for our year de past year. Not sure throw edy or not. If got I will bring to TTC on Monday or Tuesday. If you haven throw then you can pass to LJ oso la. XD
3. Will need you to prepare 1 copy with solutions

For Form5:
1. I will look for our year de.
2. LJ will ask Yih Liang see he got or not.
3. Will need you to prepare 1 copy with solutions
4. Extra: Last Year de Mid Term Revision Pack. I still got keep the solutions, but 1 part of solution missing dy so need redo.

So for now you just prepare 1 set with solutions for both form la. Deadline is 22nd April (NEXT FRIDAY).
Will update if got anything new.

Form 1 April Syllabus

Hey PMR-ians,

Currently all of us are at around the same speed except for yellow specky guy. He's on track :) Congratsss!

*Sorry Mr. Smile, i taught your class today and i couldn't finish percentage. There's still dividend and commission left. LJ and I are at the same speed too. We're finishing percentage next week.

The speed that we are supposed to be at :

Week 1 : Integers (teach the beginning and stop before addition and subtraction, but if you are fast enough you can go ahead)

Week 2 : Integers (teach addition and subtraction and finish up the chapter by doing questions)

Week 3 : Algebraic Expression (algebraic is a rather short topic so i think we can finish it within one week together with exercise but if you require two weeks, its okayy)

Week 4 : Algebraic Expression or Basic Measurement (for those who are fast, you can teach basic measurement but for those who can't make it, we will skip this chapter because basically its common sense)

Some of us are slow because we may still be in percentage and may only end percentage by next week.

So what we can do is :

[ I have already discussed with LJ so no worries. It has been approved :) ]

Week 3 : Integers (teach the beginning and stop before addition and subtraction, but if you are fast enough you can go ahead)

Week 4 : Integers (teach addition and subtraction and finish up the chapter by doing questions)

Week 1 of May : Algebraic Expression (try our best to get it done in 1 week)

Week 2 of May : EFC (as their mid term is either the second or third week depending)

* Note that your form 1 April notes may have some errors in page 17, 18 and 20 if i'm not mistaken. Some practices are missing. Printing error >.< So we will have to print those pages again.

If you face any other problems with the notes, please let me know yeahh. I didn't include any exciting examples, sorrryyy. Complaints are welcomed :)

mathematical reasoning part 2 (argument)

as last week i teach wrongly on Compound statement.**
after finding out the true meaning of CS. CS comes from combination of a statement AND / OR a statement. IN OPERATION type question.

Argument
separated in to 3 types of argument. Every argument comes with a General Statement, that provides all information to you.
Note : General Statement is definitely a true statement, no need to reconsider the truth of the statement.
Type 1 (2 Premise and 1 Conclusion)
Premise 1: ALL something IS/HAVE/ARE/HAS something. (general statement)
Premise 2: C IS something.
Conclusion: C IS something

Type 2 (2 Implication and 1 Conclusion)
Implication 1: IF something THEN something. (general statement)

Implication 2: something IS TRUE.
Conclusion: C is something IS TRUE.

Type 3 (2 Implication and 1 Conclusion)
Premise 1: IF something THEN something. (general statement)

Premise 2: something IS NOT TRUE.
Conclusion: something IS NOT TRUE. (FIXED)


SPECIFIC TO GENERAL (INDUCTION) GENERALIZATION : THE Nth TERM IS N^2+N, WHERE N=1,2,3,...

GENERAL TO SPECIFIC (DEDUCTION) CONCLUSION : AT LEAST IN THE RANGE.
2=1^2+1
6=2^2+2
12=3^2+3

mathematical reasoning. - LJ version

excluding Argument.
i discuss this with my students.
STATEMENT
no question element inside, no directive element inside, pure sentence based that leads your decision to TRUE or FALSE.

after learning this, it's further explained by the following subtopics.
-Quanlifier
further explain with question on determining what is the meaning of "ALL" and "SOME".
-Operation
further explain with question on determining what is the difference of using "or" and "and".
-Implication
i explained if ..."antecedent"..., then ... "consequent"...
i use example on:
Bryan is a boy
Bryan has a dick
i make it a implication based sentence.
IF Bryan is a boy, THEN Bryan has a dick.
i further make explain my Converse an implication as "if Bryan has a dick, then he is a boy."
the main thing that happens here is the meaning and the STATEMENT's truth doesn't change, it's still a TRUE statement.
Since the implication and the Converse implication is TRUE and doesn't change it's original meaning. then we can combined the two statement into a COMPOUND STATEMENT... like this:-
Bryan is a boy if and only if he has a dick.
then i stopped. and say i will teach them argument next week. and revise SETS.
BTW, i write out a separate paper with very basic Mathematical reasoning questions.

statistic form 3, how to teach ??

my answer is.
first, this chapter seperate into 2 diff subtopics.
1. pie chart question.
2.analysing data question.

pie chart
what is do was, i tell them a scenario.
im now analysis a school, finding out the percentage of student who go to school by what type of transport.
jet-50
walk-15
car-20
fly with hands-80

now find me the percentage.
so what i do is, i will total up the number and get 165 students in the school. later to find each of it i will take the total number 165 stud. divide by the amount i need, later multiply by 100% and i will get the percentage for each type of transportation.

hence, can u see that im using a Universally applicable formulae which tell us.

the amount you need (car/jet/walk/fly)   x   100 %  
total amount
= percentage for each sector.

then we will get the answer.
how if i wanna convert into angle format which the total is 360 degree ? u understand now ?

after this, i will enter into analysis question.

analysing data question
i further explain this into 2 diff types of question.
which is called the DATA question and TABLE question.

after telling them what is data and what is TABLE type question, we let them know what is Mode, Mean and Median.
Mode = highest Frequency
Mean = Average/Purata...just like your school report. total up the marks of 8 subjects then total marks divide by 8 subjects.
Median = middle of all data, after rearranging it into ascending order.

Types of Questions please refer our maths form 3 notes.
analysing data question.
we will have a table right ?
let them see this thing.
after u complete in explaining MEAN table type question.
u rub of one of the frequecy.

for example.
    score x        1     2     3     4
frequency y     4     3     1     6

mean we will total up xy then divide by total y right ?
then find the answer. this MEAN will be  2.5.

now RUB of the 6. and replace by x
Hint given, Means is 2.5. find x
this is what they dunno. =)


Gud luck in teaching. amithaba.

FORM 1,2,3 MARCH SYALLBUS

form 1, i did revision with them, but for their exam what im scare is, we haven really go through question with them. what i did was following the exam type question in our feb notes. and discuss with them. discuss as many question as possible with them.

form 2, i teach them exam type question, and focus on how to do question like in exam type question page 19, question 17, and week 3 homework question 5.
and focus in subjective page 20, question 1 to 4. and ask them this...
1.if my volume is 729cm cube. area the cube is how much ?? something like that.
2.if my area is 169cm square, find the perimeter.
let them know how to find one side of the cube. statement base question.
then i share with them CHS question paper. =) use net book and display it to them. or u can print and discuss witht them. where to find that ? in network file....maths 2011.... march note bla bla bla. then u will find it already.

form 3, statistic. explain to them, a very fast one. Do question with them, explain through question.
YEAH!

to Kar Yaw on form 1 , 2 , 3.

form 1
teach ait of fraction, the introduce to them what is numerator, denomonatro, proper, improper, mixed number. then start abit of plus and minus but if they are too pro, then proceed to times and divide (use spiderman, x-men and superman)

form 2
i teach them square, straight away tackle question in exam type question.
but i did show them the style of chs first term form 2 exam paper 2. i sent to u before wan.
*ohh, dun forget the test ahh, we need to give in seminar wan, u tell me wednesday wan worr, now saturday ad haha)

form 3
polygon question in exam type question. i got teach them abit statistic la but not much, just share only, if din share, u tell them seminar will cover abit.

job that need your help.
1. 2 set of exam paper.
2. remember we allocated the question out from the books for steph ? but she has exam and i dun have time to meet up her to do, so i hang in till now. so need your help on pulling out from pdf to mircosoft word. i have the files ad, just need to pull out and find the answer.
hence, u help me create a MSword file name "kar yaw's portion for seminar", then u snap shot pdf question and paste to the file. sequence have to arrange according to style of the question. format will be like :-
u enter network file (Z), maths 2011, MATHS march NOTE 2011, seminar notes 2011, liang jie exercise yeah yeah, .. all the scanned files are there with diff folder and i have example of how i did it. u copy paste the format.
then remember the answer yeah.

Linear Equation form 2. Share this with u all.

“Linear” Algebraic term is known as Terms with ONE TYPE unknown attached to the co-efficient only. (Unknown has to be in POWER ONE)
For Example: 3x, 4y, 1/3 a
Let say I have 3xy, 4wx, or1/3 ab^2, we will have more than one type of unknown. They are Non-Linear Algebraic Terms.
Hence, if we have 3x+6y, this will be known as a Linear Algebraic Expression. Refer Practice 1.
So, what we need to know now is…what is Expression ???
Like what we mentioned in our February Note’s content page, Expression is known as a question with no definite answer, we are just simplifying the question because without equal to SOMETHING we can’t solve our unknowns. We will simplify it.
If it’s known as an Equation, therefore we will have equals to SOMETHING. We will solve it, and get the value of the unknown.
For instance, 3x+6y, 4x+2, 3a+4b-c (Expression)
3x+2=6, 5y-5z=12 (Equation)
Since our chapter 4 is Linear Equation, therefore we solve it and get the value of the unknown. Refer Example 1,2.
But our Chapter covers only Linear Equation with ONE UNKNOWN. 

seterusnya...
Learn Linear Equation like kinder garden standard
Still remember how we do +2=5, =?
Being a clever Math student during primary, we know that the bracket equals to 3, but how we find the answer ????
We need to use Linear Equation Concept.
So what is Linear Equation Concept?
Remember this forever and vegetable!!
As long as when you move a symbol over an EQUAL, your symbol will change.

To LJ: Graph Shading

Before you start, blogger don't allow the use of triangle brackets, which is our 'less than' and 'more than' sign because they are for html, so i use all words. Might be hard to read.

Let's say one equation is
y more than x+1
Before u shade, you need to sketch the graph of y=x+1 (notice the '=' and 'less than' sign in the equations).
Then you shade the region that is ABOVE the graph, because Y is GREATER than x + 1. (y is larger when the points move upwards towards y axis, thats y if GREATER then shade region ABOVE)

if equation is y less than x+1, then you reverse the process. on your y-axis, the lower you go, the smaller the number. so if y is LESS THAN, then shade BELOW

Similarly, you can also look the graph in terms of x. look at y bigger than x+1, if you reverse the equation, you can see
1+x less than y
If x is the subject of concern, then look at x-axis. The numbers are SMALLER on the LEFT side, so if 1+x is SMALLER, then shade LEFT. Same applies to the equation if 1+x more than y. If 1+x is BIGGER, then shade on the RIGHT hand side of the graph.

You can actually combine and look at both x and y at the same time. Lets say 1+x less than y, if you look at x, x is SMALLER. then you look at y. Y is on the BIGGER side. So if X SMALLER Y BIGGER, you need to shade LEFT AND UP of the graph. (They can never go wrong. You won't have a condition where X and Y are not synchronized, like for the example just now, you won't find that you can shade up but you cannot shade left punya case)

A VERY IMPORTANT NOTE!
If coefficient of x or y is NEGATIVE, you need to shade in the terbalik way. EG:
1-x less than y. If x is LESS, y is MORE, you should shade LEFT (X small), and UP (y big). But if you plot the downwards slopping equation 1-x=y (gradient is negative), you can NEVER EVER shade the region of left and up together.

Reason?
Because coefficient of x is negative.
(Try plotting the graph if dun understand then you know why)

If you make x positive, you will get an equation of 1 less than y+x. so now BOTH X AND Y are on the BIGGER side, you will need to shade RIGHT and UP of the graph, which is correct.

still have to read the previous post ya!

we missed out something very important.
our active team on teaching, Kok Kin, Chin Chung, Stephanie, Jian Wen and Liang J.
and active Internal mathematics Auditor, Kai Boon.

our EXAM PAPER for february 18, 19 and 20.

Saturday, January 22, 2011

Update people! :D

Monthly important dates
5th - Internal Deadline (Upload to gmail to be checked internally)
8th - Homework + Notes (Separate) to be given to IA and RM
Remember must have answers for both in class practice and homework (For tutors' purpose only, no need to attach in notes for students)

From February onwards, there will be a pink colour file called "Tutors' Teaching Kit". Items in the Kit include:
1. Marker Pens
2. Tutors' Copy
3. Attendance Sheet
4. Extra In Class Practice. (To be PURCHASED by students @ RM1 if they forgot to bring notes - Got special 1 time chance per month *Means first time no need pay, 2nd time RM1*)

Reasons of the Kit:
1. To avoid tutors' from photostating (in class practice, notes, etc) for lazy students.
2. To reduce the reprint problem of Resource Management team.

Attention for homework markers:
The sequence of homework marking is as follows:
1. Give homework (Week A)
2. Student do homework and pass up, tutors collect on Saturday at the end. (Week B)
3. Tutors' mark the homework, and key in into computer (Week C)
4. Return homework (Week D)

Week A, B, C, D is a cycle. So every week you also got homework to mark.
