Day 3 of mathematics module with Dr Yeap

We had a quiz today and to get the answers required us to search for the real thing of the statues, objects and buildings. One of the questions is: How high is the church from the ground level?
The church is located just opposite of Singapore Art Museum at 8Q.

Nurul suggested to get someone to stand near to the church and we forced Sarah (as the rest of us are Muslims) to go near to the church and stand there. We estimated how many of her to reach to the building just by using our fingers. I'm not sure this is a good way to teach the kids but we would like to try out new method of estimating the height of the church by using real person.. Haha.. not a good example though.. but we can't stop laughing coz a few passersby took photos of her standing straight outside the door of the church while we use our fingers to estimate the number of Sarah to reach the highest part of the church.

Ouh yea.. another question is to calculate how much material needed to create the yellow and blue flower.
First, we counted the number of flowers. Sarah and Nurul counted the number of yellow flowers. While Huda and myself counted the blue flowers. Well, there are two ways of counting it. Sarah and Nurul counted the yellow flowers one by one meanwhile Huda and myself realised that there are patterns.
e.g.
x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x
  x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x
x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x
  x   x   x   x   x   x   x   x
It's an AB pattern! So we count the first two rows and multiplied by the number of sets to get the total number of blue flowers.
That's all for today!
