Notes On Speed
Example: Car A started off 100 metres ahead of Car B and they started at the
same time. Car B is 20 m/s faster than Car A.
Time taken =
5 seconds
Keynote: If both objects move in the same direction, we usually take note of
the difference in their distances travelled and the difference in their speed.
Example: Car A travels towards Car B 150 m away at 20 m/s. At the same time, Car B travels towards Car A
at 10 m/s. The time for them to meet each other is 30 seconds.
Time taken =
5 seconds
Example: Car A travels towards Car B 700 m away at 20 m/s. After 5 seconds, Car B travels towards Car A at
10 m/s. What was the time taken by Car B to meet Car A?
When Car B started, Car A has already traveled 100 metres. (20 * 5)

Final Tip: Always draw a line to represent the distance between 2 points. It
always helps!
Notes on Circle
A) There are only two formula in the topic on Circle.
Area of Circle =
Perimeter/Circumference of Circle =
That's it. So just make sure you do not apply the wrong formula or use
radius/diameter wrongly!
B) Commonly tested figures usually involve full circle, Semi Circle and QuarterCircle (Quadrants) so look out for them. PSLE does not test students to find area
of ovals so worry less and start conquering!
For Semi Circles and Quadrants, remember to use and respectively.
