PSLE Mathematics 2016

PSLE Mathematics today. Juliane is looking forward to it. :O All the Best, Juliane! 

PSLE Mathematics 2014

Today is PSLE Mathematics. Marieann, stay calm and be careful. Best Wishes to you, Marieann! :)

Prelims 2014 Day 2

Maths is on the second day of Prelims. I am worried as Marieann tends to freeze up in Maths under stressful situations. :( Stay calm, Marieann.
PS. Marieann is starting to have a stuffy nose. Think she is coming down with a cold. :( Why now?!?! Argh.

"Revision/ Refresher" Workshop

I attended the Primary 5 & 6 Mathematics and Science workshop at SCGS from 6-8pm. As usual, I went alone as the girls' father had no interest in knowing/ learning such things. Again, I saw the surprised looks on my ex-colleagues' faces upon seeing me lol. They always feel that I already know the things that they are going to present so I need not attend. I know things haven't changed much since I last attended the workshop in 2013 and since I last taught the subjects in terms of teaching approaches. But the workshop is good as a revision or refresher for me. :)   

You Don't Need To Attend

That was what my former SCGS colleagues said to me when they saw me at the Primary 5 and 6 Math and Science workshops lol. :P They asked, "Didn't you attend the workshops for last year?! They are almost the same content. And you taught all these before." 
Oh well, I guess I am kiasu hahaha. I did think that the content might be similar but you never know. :P I went through the materials and they are indeed what I used to teach. :)

Refresher/ Reunion

I attended a parent workshop on P3 & P4 Math and Science. The girls' father wasn't interested so I had to go. My former colleagues at SCGS were surprised to see me attending the workshop lol. Reason being - I have taught Math and Science before and little has changed since then in terms of the teaching approaches. But it was good as a refresher for me as well as it being a reunion time for me with my former colleagues. :)

Only One

There were three in 2009. In 2010, there is only one Friday the 13th. Going back the last ten years, it turns out there is one Friday the 13th every year and three is the largest possible number of Friday the 13th in a year.

1 in 2010
3 in 2009
1 in 2008
2 in 2007
2 in 2006
1 in 2005
2 in 2004
1 in 2003
2 in 2002
2 in 2001

According to a table in Eric Weisstein's World of Astronomy, 13th is slightly more likely to fall on a Friday than any other day of the week. Unlucky or lucky? It is only Mathematics lol. :P
