Anak mama & math

Sempat check Taufiq punya math paper 1 .. soalannya rasanya lebih mudah dari yg biasa dia buat dari exercise book yg me beli tapi disebabkan kesenangan itulah dia dah ter 'careless' .. maka jadinya me dah boleh agak result math dia .. tak palah anak mama .. next year kena fokus sikit. Taufiq anak tak cukup bulan sebab me kena pre e (will story abt this on his bday nanti), tapi alhamdulillah he grows normal. Mcm mana dia tak sabar nak keluar mcm tu la juga dia buat kerja .. nak cepat sokmo. Balik dari exam hari tu dia btau 'ma, soalan senang, Taufiq lebih masa byk sgt ..' rupa2nyadia baca soalan separuh je pastu terus tanda...sedangkan math real Q selalunya dok kat belakang. Alahai anak mama ..

Being a person yg memang betul2 minat math, me mmg ajar sendiri math my kids wpun cikgu dah ajar kat sek. Me masa sek ren betul2 belajar math dgn my late father. I trust my late father's answer more than cikgu (maaf, mmg me pernah beberapa kali betulkan jawapan cikgu masa sek rendah, siap argue lagi finally cikgu agree w my answer). Masa matrix & uni (infact my lecturer set for A was 95+) my target for math & statistic was always 100% (coz syllabus dia mcm revision SPM math).

.

So far my eldest nampak mcm follow me, but my 2nd one minat dia lebih ke language and Taufiq (as usual anak tak cukup bulan) is a very fast learner tapi selalu nak short cut. Taufiq hafal sifir in 1+ days jer, my system (as teach by my late father) cuma hafal sifir 3,4,6,7,8 jer .. sifir 1,2 by nature selalunya dah boleh hafal .. sifir 5 quite simple just divide the no by 2 kalau takde baki letak 0 blkg kalau ada baki letak 5 blkg .. sifir 9, digit tenth letak multipier less 1, digit ones is 9 less digit tenth (i.e 7 x 9 .. digit tenth 7-1=6, digit ones 9-6 = 3, so 7 x 9 = 63, 6 x 9 = 54 .. total ones & tenth will will always be 9) .. a bit of trick kalau anak selalu blank sifir dlm exam sek ren esp kalau bebudak cepat blank kalau kalut, teach them to do bijak sifir sampai boleh buat abt 2 to 1 minutes. Bijak sifir ni ajaran my kids tuisyen teacher dia akan suruh bebudak buat ni before class start .. sampai bebudak dpt buat cepat, list no 2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9 horizontal & vertical, then ask them to fill in sifir kat tgh2. Gunanya kalau exam math .. selalunya sebelum exam start masa pemeriksa or cikgu bagi arahan dia tak bagi buka buku soalan tapi dia tak cakap jgn tulis apa2, so budak2 boleh buat ni kat muka depan buku soalan (the more they practice lagi cepat diaorg boleh buat, and this exercise juga akan directly set their mental utk jwb soalan math), selalunya soalan mula2 mudah, so student start relax, tapi bila soalan 7 keatas dah start dah .. bila time dah tak cukup esp paper 1 sek ren, student dah mula gelabah .. to cut short any sifir diaorg boleh referla bijak sifir yg diaorg buat kat front page tu .. Cara ni nyata berkesan kat anak sedara I yg selalu gelabah.

Mcm mana pula dgn prob Taufiq yg selalu nak cepat & careless tu .. practice & practice la jawabnya ..
