Mathematics - $$ MONEY $$

This is our final topic for P1 - MONEY.

Let play some games:

1) IGLOO Shopping
Go shopping in the snow by clicking on the coins and dollars to pay for the items.
You can choose the difficulty level for this game.



2) ICT Math Games

3) Young Investor

4) Pay with $$
You have to click on the coin - $1, dollar notes - $5, $10 to pay the actual amount for the items.

Take note:
Most of the games presented above are not in Singapore currency.
Pupils are still able to apply addition and subtraction concepts.

Science Topics - Magnets and springs

Hello there!
Welcome back.

Today, lets explore the wonderful characteristics and properties of a magnet.

Step 1) Read the learning objective first

Learning Objectives:
1) Make and test predictions about whether materials are magnetic or not.
2) Know that magnets attract some metals but not others and that other materials are not attracted to magnets.
3) Use results to draw conclusions, indicating whether they were right in their prediction about which materials were magnetic.

Step 2)Please try the below interactive exercise and complete the quiz after the activity.



Step 3) Now, let me find out how much you know about magnet. Try this:

Step 5) This website that you are going to view this full of experiments that you could gather ideas for your SCIENCE TOY!

Magnetic obstacle course

You do remember that you need to do your toy and hand it to me right? I will be giving out the requirements and guidelines soon. For now, enjoy your lessons.

Step 6) Go to your Class 3A EDP Portal and refer to the concept map attached. Use bubbl.us to create your map and submit to me.

Have Fun!!

Concept Maps in Action

Let me put it this way...

You can just use a piece of paper and a pencil to start your own mindmaps or concept maps. Concept map gives an overview of the concepts learnt in a science chapter for instance. When you are finished, you could pass the paper around to let your friends add ideas to it. Concept maps on paper are cool, but Concept maps on the internet are cooler.



Now, you can use Bubbl.us. It is a mind-mapping product aimed towards literally anyone who needs help organizing their thoughts or any untidy information. It’s so simple. And as always, simplicity is best when you need to be creative. A fantastic collaborative mindmapping application, freely available online.

You can also try out this mind mapping software FreeMind. You need to install this in your computer.



I use FreeMind, which is way more powerful, and not too difficult to manage. Oh, and it's Open Source and free.

Below are some photos of the pupils using Freemind and Bubbl.us.
