The Maths Q.s

-What have you learnt in chp 2.1?
I learnt many, complicating methods like how to solve expandtion questions. So many new things I learnt. Good thing zong ru teach me every single thing before you did. If it was not for him, I could had never done those questions. This methods are really useful to me in solving complicated questions.

-What are the difficulties?
The first time I tried doing the questions, I acted as if I was so smart and go do the them right away. I ended up having some long, long equations with the wrong answers... That happened to suck. Eventhough I looked at the answers (not to copy) and tried to redo to get the same answer, it did'nt helped me. Then, for some reason, I came to zong ru. I did'nt copy him but he had the will to teach me step by step, from the easy questions to the hard ones. I had a problem with the negative sign (as always) as it was confusing when I tried to X the numbers in the brackets.

-What you want to know more?
I want to know how to solve the similar questions but the ones with fractions. To know how to apply the same method to them. But in the end, obviously you will teech us this kind of questions, right?

Mr Chiang's maths thing...

Firstly, we used a measuring tape to measure the court. Most of our measuring tapes were not long enough to measure the whole length on its own (cause I never brought mine), so we had to work together and use all of our measuring tapes, one after another, to measure it. We did a ratio on the paper, of the map to the badminton court. On the other paper we drew the map of the badminton court, a ratio of 1cm : 0.5m. Then, we, as in only me, took the area of the map, in cm, and the area of the badminton court, in metres, and find its ratio. The difficulties we encountered, mostly Issac and Alpheous, was to put together our measuring tapes to mesure the length and breadth of the badminton court. The tapes kept getting stuck cause Alpheous kept pulling them too hard. But mostly, Indra kept releasing the tapes before we could measure and my hand got hurt because of him (I was the one who held the measuring tape).
