At first, ratio red:Blue=3:1 since 25% Blue.
After adding 16 red, radio red:blue=4:1 since 20%Blue.
Comparing, blue remains at 1 unit; red increases by 1 unit after adding 16 red.
So 1 unit is 16.
Answer : 16 blue cubes.

Can solve using ratio
(A-5):P = 1:4
Consider the ratio A:(P-20)=1:2=20:40.
Then (A-5):P=(20-5):(40+20)=15:60=1:4

So there were 60 pears and 20 apples.

My year 3 daughter’s class will be having 4 tests (Chinese, Lang Art, SCS and Chemistry) this Friday.


Is it common in RVHS to have that many tests all in one day? Or is it due to lack of communications and co-ordination among subject teachers??
I remember there are guidelines at univ disallowing consecutive exam times, minimum break time between exams. Do I remember wrongly?
Just wonder how these students handle 4 tests in a day.

I am wondering if there is a need to get a laptop computer for my JH1 daughter to use during boarding. Thinking of getting one during Great Singapore Sale if necessary.


Any advice? Thanks!

My JH2 boy brou along his during the recent boarding. Due to an \"accident\", the laptop is completely damaged.

Our meeting with the disciplinary mistress had the mistress mentioned she discouraged the students to bring laptops to the boarding. The sch and boarding sch have computer rooms.

If really wants to bring, then made sure she locked it inside the cabinet when she is not in the room, even when going to the toilet.

Thanks, Jennifer.
Even at home with just 3 kids, my children have to take turns to use the computer for the homework at times.
I wonder if my daughter can get to use the computers in school and boarding sch.

Arrange their study desks so that they cannot see what the other person is doing.

Just let him attempt 1 or 2 levels up. Can stretch him to do P6 level Maths questions. Would be more interesting for your ds if P5 is too easy for him.


And need not be solely academic. Can let him do Maths Olympiad questions or brainteasers, IQ puzzles for fun.

Hi Sleepy,
In his earlier years, I would stretch him and teach him a little more than what's in his syllabus as I could see that he is not challenged. Would also let him do 1 level up, but generally, he would still be able to cope without much difficulty. But I stopped that since P4 :oops: Guess it's because he started the HA course plus I signed him up with Maths Hub ~term3, so kinda got lazy You're right, I probably can just start digging out all my treasures (P6 assessments) and start him on them....whatever he hasn't learn, just leave it aside and return later

Honestly, I already own a number of brainteasers, IQ puzzles, NMOS booklets etc.....whenever he has the mood, he'll try them himself. Guess it's more the school syllabus that I'm looking at......

Thanks for reminding me ......I better buck up !!!

If you want your son to continue to be interested and do well in Math, I think it is better to expose him to stuff outside the school syllabus. With his ability, I don't think you have to worry about his PSLE.

Try getting some books by Martin Gardner.

Hi, Newbie here. Will have to try hard to read through several hundred of pages under this thread!


Anyway, my daughter is in JH105. Any JH105 parents?

Hi, newbie here.
