Dear all,
I have wrapped up on the topics covered in the P3 syllabus for Mathematics. It has been a tough and long year with several new topics being taught. It is time to start revision. I realized that many of you still have difficulty with writing the correct units of measurement for area and perimeter.
Remember that for area, the formula is LENGTH x BREADTH for (rectangles) and SIDE X SIDE (for squares). The correct units of measurement is cm² or m². Please do not forget.
For Perimeter, the formula is to add the sides AROUND the figure. The units of measurement is cm or m.
Here are some good websites for you to take a look:

I will be doing intensive revision with everyone next week and drill and practice with everyone on the basic formulas and concepts of the topics covered.
Dear parents,
You can start with revision with your kids, especially on topics covered in term 4 such as Fractions and Time. For fractions, do concentrate on adding and subtracting unlike fractions with different denominators. Some of the students have forgotten about the correct concept of answering such questions. For timeline, the important skill is to be able to draw the timeline. Do hone their skills.
Dear all,
On another side note, do remember that PSLE is ongoing until next Wed. We practise self discipline and graciousness for our big brothers and sisters by keeping our noise level especially low during lesson times. Our classroom is located near their classrooms and any noise made will affect them. Kindness begets kindness. There will come a time when you will be taking your PSLE too.
rule #1 - We are a family! We think for others with our actions.
Week 3 is coming to an end. Very soon, we will be doing filing and we will be getting your books home for your parents to check, take a look and sign. :)
Study hard from now on! Remember to revise and practise your maths!
Sincerely,
Mr Nelson Ong.
