Importance of Mathematics in Everyday Life




Mathematics are important in our daily lives. People use a lot of what they were taught in school without even thinking much about it.


Area

Retiling a floor or seeding a lawn may be done by figuring the size of the area and amount of supplies needed.
Percentages

Being able to figure out percentages can come in handy when faced with store sales or nutrition labels.
Fractions

Road signs and recipe books feature fractions that tell us the distance to our destination or how much of an ingredient to put in a dish.
Addition and Subtraction


Totaling the prices of groceries as you shop or calculating monthly bills requires mathematical skills.
Geometry

Placing pictures on a wall and making certain they are hanging straight takes some knowledge of geometry.
Playing the Odds

Some people who play the lottery use mathematical skills to try to determine the probability of their winning the jackpot.

"Indians seeing importance of learning Chinese"- Chinese Tuition in Singapore

"Chinese is an important language globally. If business is going to be China-centric, naturally a lot of job opportunities will come up in China," she said. "But you need to motivate children. Chinese is not an easy language... the calligraphy is difficult."

Chinese language tuition in Singapore – NIE trained Tutor for Primary, Secondary and NIE trained Experience Bilingual tutor for Working Adults


A lot of the people I have met always talk about how they were unable to understand what their Chinese language teacher or tutor is teaching them as they were TOO FOCUSED on getting the technical part of Mandarin into the students. While there is nothing wrong with it, we believe strongly that instilling interest and making learning EASY for learners are more important than anything else.



Many people find Mandarin difficult as it can be confusing with 4 phonetics and most importantly, the characters do not look anything like the alphabets we are used to. As such, picking up this language has been a chore for many people out there.

Having personally and successfully helped many people love and enjoy learning Mandarin as a language, I realised it takes more than knowing the language. It takes passion and the ability to relate the art of mandarin through English to the students.

The tutor specialised in teaching Mandarin at all levels, be it:

1. Students who need to score for exam
2. Working adults who might need to converse in Chinese language at times at the workplace or simply out of interest

Our teacher is bilingual, NIE trained with 10 years of teaching experience. Need help in your Chinese? Do not hesitate to contact us:

"Grades slipping in English exams"



"SINGAPORE - Pupils who took the Primary School Leaving Examination last year recorded the worst performance in English language in a decade.

A 10-year education-performance trend released by the Ministry of Education yesterday showed that the percentage of pupils who scored A*, A, B and C fell from 97.9 in 2007 and 97.7 in 2011 to 97 last year. The fall was seen among all races.

This despite 60 per cent of the Primary 1 cohort now coming from English-speaking homes.

The percentage of pupils who scored A* to C for Mother Tongue remained consistent in recent years, at 97.4 last year, and 97.5 in 2011 and 2010. But it fell from the 98.1 per cent a decade ago."

Is tuition necessary in Singapore?



A brief review of a study conducted by FTT (findtuitonteachers.com) on


“Insights of Tuition Trends in Singapore”



In the past, tuition is not as prevalent as now. But nowadays, most of the parents I talked to send their children to tuition centre or hire tuition teachers for their kids. This is evident from how tuition spending in Singapore doubled from $410 million to over $800 million between 1998 and 2008. A study conducted between Oct 2013 to February 2014, involving 52 parents and 124 students from all levels found the following:


Parents sent their kids to tuition as they believe that it can help them to score better in the examination (91%). Many even believed that if others are having extra help and if their kids do not get that extra help, they will be at the losing edge (64%) –> typical “Kiasu” (afriad to lose) culture? Well, I can kind of understand from the parents’ point of view of wanting tuition for their kids:


1. The syllabus are getting tougher



2. The students are getting smarter (I always wondered why. Maybe it is due to the advanced formula milk powder they drink when they are a toddler)


3. The world is becoming more competitive due to globalization


4. The parents have less time for the kids due to work


5. The dual income allows them to have the capacity to pay for private tuition


6. They can force their kids to set aside time for studying via tuition rather than playing computer games etc.


Many students that I talked to have divided views on tuition. Some stated that they are forced into it and they have no interest in studying at all while some say they will “die” (the exact word used by a few students) without tuition as they are not sure if they are on the right track. Some stated that they love tuition in a small group with their own group of friends as it allows them to feel more relaxed and they can discuss what they do not know freely during tuition. They stated that it is hard and embarrassing to ask questions in class (Asian culture) and thus they learn more during private lessons.


In terms of tutors’ quality, there are also divided views. Most students (62%) stated that their tutors are qualified and they (74%) find it easy to follow the class during tuition whereas others (29%) stated that the tutors confuse them and made it worse for them. Majority of the students (87%) stated that their tutors are patient and allow them to take their time to absorb their materials.


Tuition can be costly and there have been wide debate on how much is too much. If the good tutors are charging an astronomical amount of fees, wouldnt only the rich be able to get the best help?


Is tuition really necessary? Senior Minister of State for Education and Law Indranee Rajah argues that tuition for children who are doing reasonably well is counter-productive, while weak students can get help through existing school programmes. “Our education system is run on the basis that tuition is not necessary,” she said in Parliament, amid concerns that a widening income gap affords children from better-off families opportunities for a head start on their peers through tuition (Straits times, 2013).

Education - as defined in Singapore. Can we make education better inSingapore?

What is education? 


A lot of the people view education as a one way communication where the teacher or trainer will pass on knowledge to the students or trainees. 

I see education as a two way conversation where the teacher or trainer will interact with the students or trainees and have a meaningful discussion creating a sharing session. 

Education should be a win-win situation among parties where learning is mutual. The teacher or trainer can learn more about how the students or trainees think and implement more effective teaching or training methology; they can also have more insights or takeaways when the students and trainees ask interesting questions that the teacher or trainer probably never thought about before (the list goes on). Students or trainees can then learn more when the trainers introduce new teaching materials and implement new creative ways of delivering the materials. Indeed, that would create a positive learning cycle! 

Although it is true that every minute is very previous during a lesson, discussion and interaction might lead to a more productive outcome. The common reason we hear from teachers or trainers on why they dare not deviate from the syllabus is because they have tight deadlines on their deliverables so that the students can score in their exam. After all, the scores that're reflected on the exam script is the teacher's or trainer's KPI. We get the complain that there are simply too much to cover in a tuition class to even joke with the students since parents who engage them are always more concerned about the end results than the process of learning. 

That is the sad truth in Singapore where the whole society is so competitive and result-oriented that it seems that nothing else matters. In fact, there is a lot of debate on whether the education system in Singapore has caused students to lose interest in learning but instead created a culture where people are more interested in only the end results. Is education supposed to be this way? 

I personally feel that students who love to learn outside the school syllabus generally have more general knowledge. The foreign students I have met are generally a lot more mature and knowledgeable than local students. They are able to rattle off political affairs and why they think it's good or bad and the implications due to the incident/action. Local students, on the other hand, are usually bounded by text book and are very afraid to get their answers wrong. They are always very eager to see their 100% correct results based on the syllabus. Isn't the ability to be street smart needed in order to excel in the society? Isn't street smart more important than book smart? 

How can we shape Singapore education system such that Singaporeans can have a more meaningful learning journey? 

Your thoughts?

Can education help you get out of poverty?

For many years, we hear our parents talk about how we should study hard so that we will be able to graduate and get a good paying job.

Most of the people I know are spending a lot of money on education, be it on school fees or tuition fees even though their family household income might be below average. The kids start having private tuition as young as pre school in recent times.

I've seen a few parents who held two jobs just so that they can send their kids to a good school or hire private tuition for their kids. They strongly believe that having a good education will help their kids break free from the poverty or rat race. Part of them also want their kids to beat other kids in school so that they can be proud of them (sometimes u wondered if doing well in school is really for the benefit of the kids or the parents).

Source: 9gag. The rat race 

I believe that education can help one gain deeper insights and make decisions (especially political decisions which impact the whole country. Look at what happened to some of our neighboring countries). It might or might not help you break free from poverty or rat race depending on how you make use of what you have learnt as well as many other factors such as your EQ, your ability to make people like you at the workplace, opportunities that you have, degree of risk aversion, your ability to have vision etc etc

Even though education is not the only factor, it is probably undeniably the key to many things such as:
1. Interview with a good company
2. Knowing kids who come from rich and influential family (this is why some parents sent their kids to branded school)
3. Human capital
4. Not let other people look down upon them
5. Self confidence
6. Productivity
Etc

It is easier for Singaporeans to break free from poverty than people in places such as India where caste system is still pretty prevalent. With strong support and resources from the government on education, it is definitely one of the key means to breaking away from poverty.

What do you think?
