'Jane saved $360 of her monthly income and spent 1/6 of the rest on transport. After spending $240 on clothes, she found that she still had 1/3 of her monthly income left. What is her monthly income?'
Anyone who knows how to solve the above question WITHOUT USING ALGEBRA, kindly step forward! Clement and I racked our brains yesterday to no avail. I personally spent the entire afternoon yesterday trying to figure out the proper primary school method but I couldn't. (The answer btw is $1080.)
Teaching at the student centre is pretty ok so far. The hours are really nice because I can wake up as late as I want to and the night is still free for me to do stuff. The kids there range from downright destructive to obedient, intelligent ones so it can be both challenging and fun at the same time.
Not much else to report! that's about it for now haha.
the stint at xin min's over, and I've learnt many interesting and important things about the education system. Teaching was certainly a stimulating experience, and I now have a lot more respect for my teachers who taught an insolent brat like me back when I was in school. Anyway, I start work at Clement's Uncle's tuition centre today; while it doesn't pay as much as xin min, I don't have to wake up at 0540 anymore to take a bus to school.. so hopefully it all goes well today. Will be teaching Primary school children, hopefully they won't be too much of a handful. Wish my luck!
