Hi. If I am not wrong is Ms Phang handling this website? If so, HI MS PHANG!!!! I am your student from last year(P5) at St Anthony Primary School. Do you still remember me? HAHA!!! I missed your WONDERFUL FANTASTIC GOOD BEST teachings, so did my friends that have taken your Math Olympiad lessons last year. We were sad that you didn’t come back to teach us again. We had a good teacher too, called Ms Ooi. Anyways, just sending my regards to you. I hope some day I can have you being my MATH teacher!!( I LOVE MATH!!!
)
Tommy
P.S. I miss you sweet, kopiko!
Hi Tommy,
So nice to hear from you! Of course I remember you, you were one of the nicest kids in that class….there were quite a number of good kids there!
I missed the whole class too. Please send my regards/hello/hi to the others. Since I started Math Arena, I am spending less time teaching in school programme. I do missed it.
Thanks for your kind words about my teaching, I feel very encouraged. You’re right that Ms. Ooi is a very good teacher. She is my good friend too. I’ll tell her what you said about her!
How’s your preparation for PSLE coming along? I shall be putting up some P6 Math Prelim questions from my pupils studying in schools in the East soon….you and your friends may want to check it out.
So glad you like the kopiko sweets. It is my favourite since my mom gave me some when I was your age, long long time ago.
I hope you get lots of good math teachers throughout your journey in school. I myself had an excellent math teacher when I was in P6, long time ago. That reminds me…I shall look him up this Teachers’ Day! I heard he is still teaching in one of the primary school in the West.
Keep in touch!
Ms. Phang
P.S. You can post questions on my website too.
Thanks!!! Happy Teachers Day!! I will be glad if you do send me the questions via email!!! I LOVE math sums!!! If I do not know how to solve them, may I ask you to explain it? THANKS!!!!My PSLE preparation is fine and thanks to you, I could solve many questions that I met when taking the DSA test!!!!! Results are not out yet. I will pass the message to my friends!! Keep in touch throught this website!!!
Tommy
P.S. Really hope you can teach me MATH again…I really miss your teachings and most importantly, YOU!!!
Hi Tommy,
Wow! Its good to hear you remembered what we taught you and could apply them during your DSA test! And yes, I’ll do my best to show you the steps should you have any questions on math.
Since you’re so keen in math, can I suggest that you take up Olympiad Math in Sec 1? You can call up Maths Hub to find out more about SMO(Junior) after your PSLE. If you move to the East, call Math Arena. I won’t be teaching it. But our trainer for this course is very good and fun too!
Watch this space for some 2010 Prelim questions.
WHY!!!! Why won’t you be teaching?! I’ll certainly call Math Hub or Arena for Math Olyimpiad training. Oh, are there Math Olympiad classes in Sec 1?
Tommy

Hi jianchang,
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the questions!
You may post math questions here if you have any. We’ll try to solve them whenever time permits.
So , whats the answer for this ?
can you help me to solve this question? Jim bought some chocolates and gave half of it to Ken. Ken bought some sweets and gave half of it to Jim. Jim ate 12 sweets and Ken ate 18 chocolates. The ratio of Jim’s sweets to chocolates became 1 : 7 and the ratio of Ken’s sweets to chocolates became 1:4. How many sweets did Ken buy?

May i know where i can find challenging questions for the P6 level? Thank you very much!
Hi Angelic Smile,
We will put up more P6 questions whenever we can.
You can look them up under “Archives”.
Or you can post questions here if you like.
Hi.
This has helped me to get a clearer picture of what the primary 6 mathematics standard is like now. I am currently tutoring primary school kids and am grateful to this. Just a question- do primary 6 students still use models? As the syllabus has changed from when I was primary 6, 6 years ago!
Hi Eugenia,
I’m glad you find our questions and solutions helpful.
Yes, models are still being used by P6 pupils. But some pupils find other alternative methods of solving problems more suited to their learning. So we do teach multiple approaches to problem solving at Math Arena.
If you have interesting questions, you are welcome to post them here. We’ll find time to solve them when we can.
