New topics in P6


The most critical year out of your entire primary school life is of course Primary Six- when you sit for the Primary School Leaving Examination. From P5 to P6 , there isn't much change but of course there still is! 

Math
-Algebra
-Nets
-Circle
-Speed

Algebra is a very useful method. You can use it to solve different types of questions. Each letter you use will represent the unknown. Magically, using Algebra, the unknown will turn into KNOWN!

Here is a simple question:
 10e+15-5e-7=?
Break them up into groups of e and whole number. 
There are 10e-5e=5e
and 15-7=8
So the answer is 5e+8! 

I used Algebra for Q1 (Renee and Lucy )
It is useful and efficient! Learn Algebra now!!!
  



Nets
Actually, for nets, you just have to memorise and visualise the different type of nets to form a 3D figure. 
The figures include:
-Cube
-Cuboid
-Pyramid
-Prism
-Cylinder
...


Circles
This topic is quite challenging but if you get the hang of it, then it's easy!!!

π=3.14  /  22/7 
In some questions , they will ask you to write your answer in terms of π or in terms of the calculator value of π. They can indicate in the question the value of π .
eg π=3.14
or π =22/7

The equation to find the perimeter and area of a circle states:
Perimeter---> π x diameter of circle
 Area      --->π x radius of circle x radius of circle 


eg:
