Year 5-6 Maths

This term, our students are learning about Financial Mathematics. They learnt how to calculate discounted prices using percentages. They all took part in a challenge to see who saved the most money. In doing this they needed to decide how to use their coupons to buy 9 products and at the same time, to save as much money as possible.

Year 7-10 Maths

In Term 3, students are learning about algebra. They are connecting the concepts between geometry and linear relationships. From solving an unknown in a linear equation to building a linear equation, students construct a pattern block train (see below) to derive the equation of different 2D shapes. They collaborate to deduce the perimeter, corners and area of these 2D shapes; thus, use the equations to find the missing term.

Year 7-10 Science

Our secondary school students are focusing on learning physical science this term. The pictures show the students building a catapult and investigating how a plasma ball worked in an experiment. They had seen how important electrical energy was in our daily life; thus, they researched about the pros and cons of renewable and non-renewable energy. They also learnt to apply the knowledge of balanced and unbalanced forces. The below pictures showed that they drew free body diagram on their photos.
