Of Fractions, Cheering and Self-Study

Hello from the other side,

I am here with useful content. Sit back, read EVERYTHING patiently and focus hocus pocus.


1. About your math homework (video links below)

Homework is MPAH WB 4B Pg 5-10 (I'm looking at the few of you who didn't bring your books today >:(   the rest of you have already done at least up to page 7)
Due WEDNESDAY, 4th MAY

Pg 7:
As mentioned, Question 1 breaks it down for you step by step. There are blanks for you to write down ALL your working.

Question 2 cuts straight to the chase: they give you a mixed number, you give them the improper fraction.
Use the diagram and your common sense (hehehe) to check your answer!

Pg 9:
Question 1: Do all your working EXACTLY as is shown in 1(a). Again for your reference, here is how I did it:

And here are 2 videos: the one I showed you, as well as our good friend from Math Antics.


2. Your Class Cheer

Here's the cheer I suggested, use it if you like it.

4A dynamite, don't mess with dynamite! *clap* *clap* *clap*        x2
(now stomp your feet too)
4A dynamite, don't mess with dynamite! *clap* *clap* *clap*        x2
Ohhhhh.... 4A!
HA! (right hand up)
HOO! (left hand up)
HAIYA!!! (in your best Bruce Lee voice, and in a fighting stance)

Here's another one, as a bonus:

Leaders (about 5 people): When I say 4A you say OH!
Leaders:4A!
Class: OH!
Leaders: 4A!
Class: OH!

Leaders: When I say 4A you say YEAH!
Leaders: 4A!
Class: YEAH!
LEaders: 4A!
Class: YEAH!

Leaders: When I say 4A you say OH, when I say 4A you say YEAH
Leaders: 4A 4A!
TOGETHER: Ohhhhhhhh YEAHHHH!!!!!!!

(sorry I couldn't find videos for these heh)

3. Self-Study

Here's the rough schedule I wrote on the whiteboard just now, which you can use to revise/study ANY subject. All you need is your textbook and a blank sheet of paper.

1 min - skim (flip through the chapter, reading only TITLES and WORDS IN BOLD
1 min - jot down what you recall
3-5 mins - read the chapter (re-read if you're done before the time is up)
2 mins - closed book recall (close your book and jot down everything you can recall from your reading)
3-5 mins - read again
2 mins - closed book recall
3 mins - open book recall (now you can refer to your book to fill in any gaps or points you missed)
5 mins - short break

Voila, one chapter done.

Adjust the timings as necessary, for example you might find that 5 minutes of reading is too short, so bump it up to 8. Or you might find that 2 minutes is not enough to write down all you can recall, so bump it up to 3 or 4 minutes.

Alright that's all from me. See y'all tomorrow.

Take care of yourselves and one another, and always be nice.
