HORRIBLE JUNE HOLIDAYS HOMEWORK!!!

Hi 106,
This is your holiday homework for the whole of June Holidays... =((( It's a long list.

1. Thinking: Rebus Assignment Task: Create a list of 5 words/phrase which have potential to be transformed into a Rebus Puzzle. Write in in your TK Journal. This is worth 5% of your GPA, it is due on the first TK lesson of Term 3.
2. Chinese: Book Review, refer to the paper given to you.
3. Language Arts: Read pages 63 and 64 and attempt questions on pages 65 and 66 on foolscap paper.
4. IH: Learn the Dynasties well as there will be a test on the PowerPoint Presentation that we have presented over the last 2 weeks of the term. Goldwin has sent an email regarding some questions that you all might wish to attempt. Do attempt those questions and answers will be given out on week 2 of the holidays. (Just that I thought they were supposed to be MCQ questions.) And then, please complete your IH report. It will be due on the first IH lesson you have in Term 3.
5. For non-accelerated Maths students, please complete the worksheet that Mrs Sia gave out. It is a round-up for the whole of the MA104 module. Attempt them on foolscap paper as well. And then, please complete the Topic 8 Homework Set 2 homework.
6. For A-Math students, please complete the June Holiday Package and the Proof Worksheet.

Come to think of it, it seems that this holiday's homework is a little more lenient than the March Holiday's.

From your CT Reps,

Ng Wen Wen & Goldwin Chandra :D

T2W9 HW

Hi 106,
Looks like we are quite lucky this week as we don't have as much homework as we had for the previous weeks. It's mostly revision.
1) LA Poem Seen Test on Monday.
2) Conversation Malay Test on Monday as well, I forgot which chapters we would be tested, whoever knows, please write on the CBox.
3) On Monday, we have 听写as well. So learn the words from chapters 25 to 28. The words that Le Yi gave when the teacher was not in school for the 2 days.
4) On Tuesday, we will have our IS Test in LT1. Refer to an earlier post.
5) On Wednesday, we have 大作文 for which will be 10% of your overall marks.
6) Math Topic 8 Homework Set 1 due on Wednesday.

7) A-Math Topic 8 Homework Sets 1 and 2 due on next Thursday.

8) A-Math June Holiday Package Homework (Topics 1 to 4) due on first Math lesson on Term 3.

I think that is all the tests we have this week. And don't forget your IH Group Presentation.

And those who had been ill this week, take care of yourself and live your school days to the fullest in this Week 10. Note that there is no school on Friday because Friday is Vesak Day.
Thanks,
Wen Wen

IH Group Presentation

HI 106,
There are some changes regarding the IH Group presentation schedule. On Monday, only the Song Dynasty group will be presenting. Yuan Dynasty and Ming Dynasty will be presenting on another day. Ming Dyansty would be presenting on Wednesday afternoon, from 3 to 3:30 (half an hour, just before Cafe starts); while Yuan Dynasty will present on Thursday afternoon, from 2 to 2:30 (half an hour before SMO training starts). Mr Han did not allow us to do this on Tuesday because 5 people from our class (the absentees on Friday) will have to retake their LA Poem Unseen test. So remember to keep these times free. Mr Han made this two PowerPoint presentations a compulsory thing as you all will be tested on the information on the PowerPoint on the first lesson of next term. So please attend this. Any other comments will go to the CBox.
Thanks,
Wen Wen. :D

Integrated Humanities Presentation Overview

You all should be preparing for your IH Presentation next week, except for Tang Dynasty. Things to take note in a presentation (any general presentations I mean):

1. Keep quiet and pay attention to the speaker(s).

2. Take down notes for important points or datas.

3. After speaker(s) presented his/her/their presentation, give them encouragement and clap.

4. For speakers, try to make your presentation as interesting as possible and make sure your audience are engaged in listening to your presentation.

5. Make your presentation unusual.

6. If audience are not paying attention, stop for a while and continue if they start to pay attention again.

These 6 points are just tips for you only. Anyway, the presentation for the Tang Dynasty is tomorrow, so good luck and do your best! For the other 4 groups, please prepare your presentation by this upcoming Monday and do some rehearsals.

Thank you.

A-Math Quiz

This post is specially posted for JH1 Accelerated Mathematics Students, because the content will be based on the proofs you have to learn. (Can be found in Pink Handout too, but I'll give more examples on Number 3 in case you do not know what is Counter-Example)

1. Proof of Sum of Interior Angles bounded by // lines

2. Proof of Exterior Angle Property

Let a, b and c be angles in a triangle and d be the exterior angle beside c.

Prove that a + b = d

a + b + c = 180 (sum of angles in a triangle)

d + c = 180 (adj. angles on a straight line)

Since a + b + c = d + c = 180,

cancelling out c, we get a + b = d.

Therefore, a + b = d. (Proven!)

3. Giving a Counter-Example

This means giving an example which disproves something.

Let's consider the number pattern: 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, ... ...

Show that T(n) = 2n is incorrect.

*Use examples*

Let n be 3.

So, T(3) = 2(3)

= 6

*Include Concluding Sentence":

However, it is shown that the third term is 8 and not 6, so this formula is incorrect. (Proven!)

Example: (By the way, I made it so it is very easy)

Pattern: 9, 27, 81, 243, 729, ... ...

(a) Show that T(n) = 9n is wrong.

(b) What is the correct formula for this pattern?

ANSWER:

(a) Let n be 3.

T(3) = 9(3)

= 27

The third term is 81 but the answer I get is 27. Therefore it is wrong.

(b) 9^n (9 to the power of n)

4. Rewriting algebraic Formula

Ok that's all I can help you. Please remember all that.

For MA104 students, if you want to learn, ask from the A-Math Students, including me.

Hope I'm not spamming the class blog! :):):)

T2W8 Homework

Hi 106,
These are the homework that you have for this week. I know a lot of you are still worried about the Maths test, no point thinking about it anymore. If you want to improve on your GPA, you should start revising for other upcoming tests. There is not a lot of homework this week (for once), but do revise for your upcoming tests. Also, refer to the previous posts that Goldwin typed out for additional study materials.

1) IH: Do questions 5 to 8 on page 22 of your IH booklet.
2) IS: Finish up your group project for the IS weather report; due on Tuesday.

I think that is all the homework we have, if I missed out anything, feel free to write them in the Cbox or under comments.

These are the revisions that you will have to do over the weekend.

1) LA: Learn all the poems that would be tested for the test on Friday and know your literary devices well. There is another LA Test the following Monday about an unseen poem.
2) IS: Do remember that we have an IS test in the LT 2 weeks from now; do start revising.

T2W7 HW

Hi 106,

Once again, it is the end of the week and the time to remind you of your homework.

1. For LA, remember to do your poem. This is due on Friday and it is worth 30% your LA102 module, so please do it well. If you cannot think of anything to write, a tip from Dr Lim is to look or stare at a picture that has special significance to you.

2. For Science, please upload your findings of the weather report onto km so that the groups can do the weather prediction.

3. For IH, please discuss with your groups regarding the Oral Presentation which will be held on Week 10. Please start researching on the dynasties that you have been assigned and get your speeches ready so that you can start practicing. Try your best to memorise the scripts as well.

4. As for Chinese, remember to learn your 听写. The words are from chapters 7 to 10 of the Chinese (Part A) textbook. (Daniel, if you see this, can you post the words on the blog as well cause not everybody has the words.)

5. Remember that for Thinking, please complete your Individual Riddle Poem and Group Riddle Poem with the reasoning inside. And remember to bring it on Tuesday so you can pass up to Melissa. Don't make trouble by forgetting to bring the TK Book.

6. For non-accelerated Maths class students, your homework is to complete the worksheet that Mrs Sia gave out in class. We have already done some questions so you just have to complete the rest of the questions. Please also remember to do Homework Sets 1 & 2 on Topic 7.

As for A-Math Students, please complete:

Examples in Math Topic 8 book

Mark your Topic 6 and Topic 7 Worksheet (Angle Management) (Going 2-D)

And also, complete your Last-year's Quiz 2 (11 questions if I'm not wrong). Write it in a piece of foolscap paper, because there are very little space for you to write. After you finish, check your answers in the [squared bracket]. Those are not marks but the answers to the questions. If you have any questions, you may ask Mr. James Lim next time on Wednesday.

That's all! Have a good time doing your homework.

And then, TRIPLE VERY IMPORTANT:

NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY (I'm not digressing that I like holidays, but just don't come to school on Monday.)

That's all! Have a good weekend!

Class Committee
