3D solids

Dear professors,

We've learnt some properties about cubes & cuboids in our previous lesson. Let's explore how the different views of 3D solids are obtained. Have fun! :)

Learning from Jessica...

Dear children,

We are in the midst of our SA1 assessment and I trust that all of us are working hard (and smart).

I would like to share a story about a female pilot. We can certainly learn a few points from her.

Something that is quite recent...
 
Still intrigued on the topic?

Science Practice Paper Booklet B corrections

Hi children,

Do copy these at home and see if you understand them.
If need be, I will go through them this coming Wednesday.

Speed

Hola, Maths professors!

Let's learn more about speed.

Speed is a special kind of rate. When an object is moving, the speed of the object is the rate of distance covered per unit time.

  • Speed limits on Singapore roads
  • 


     


    

    In a nutshell, speed is the distance travelled per unit time. 
    Do remember the following three formulas well.
    Note that the units used in D, S & T must correspond to one another.
     

    Three triangles show the three distance, speed and time equations. The first shows distance equals speed multipled by time, the second shows time equals distance over speed, the third shows speed equals distance over time.
    
     
    Here's a video to help you remember how to get the formulas...
     
     

    Oh yes! Just a question.
    There are many different types of units that can be used for speed e.g. m/s, km/h, m/min, cm/s
    How do we know when which units are more appropriate?

    And now, it's time to learn about the amazing wonders of Mother Nature! :)
     



    The speeds indicated in the video above is the average speed. This is because the speed throughout a journey may not be constant all the time.

    
    Average speed = total distance covered ÷ total time taken

    The average speed is not the sum of two speeds divided by two.
