ELP

Dear Parents,

The boys have been doing ELP worksheets for 3 weeks already and some of you may be wondering what ELP is all about. So here's a brief summary of what it is.

ELP stands for Experiential Learning Programme. For every worksheet, the boys will have a set of manipulatives to work with. They have to make use of these manipulatives to answer the questions in the worksheet, then figure out the pattern and explain (in words) the pattern that they have observed (usually found in the last section of the worksheet). There will be ELP tests so boys should treat the daily ELP worksheets seriously and use them to revise for ELP tests.

ELP Worksheet 3 was rather challenging. To help you in your revision with your son, here are the answers to Part III. Please refer to ELP Worksheet 3 (which can be found in the Maths file):

Q: Based on Part I and II, what pattern did you observe?

A: The number of counters on each side is always one more than the figure number and the number of counters is the figure number multiplied by 4.

Q: Given that the number of counters on each side is 20, what will the figure number be? Show how you arrive at your answer?

A: 20 - 1 = 19. The figure number is 19.

Maths Concepts

Dear Parents,

The boys were taught these few concepts today:

1. Multiplication tables can also be converted into addition. For boys who are unable to memorise the multiplication tables, they can actually "cheat" by changing it to addition. For example, the two times table: 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, ... These numbers are formed with the addition of 2 to the previous number. The same applies to the other multiplication tables (3 times table you add 3, 4 times table u add 4, and so on). So, if you have problem multiplying, you can change it to addition to make things easier for you.
2. 10 times table: There is always a zero behind the answers (10, 20, 30, 40, ...). So you don't even need to memorise. Just add zero to the number that you are multiplying it with.
3. ATM page 25: We learnt that when we decrease the number of groups, the number of counters in each group will increase (and vice versa). Make use of the example of sharing. When there is only me, I get to have all 8 candies. When there are two of us, I must share and now I only get 4 candies. The more people I share with, the lesser candies I get to have. This illustrates the point: when we increase the number of groups, the number of counters in each group will decrease.

Dear Parents,

• Class photo-taking will be carried out on Thursday, 15 July. Please remind your child to wear full school attire with tie on Thursday. (Boys who have CCA on that day may pack their PE attire and keep it in their bags)
