[GPGT]2025 PSLE toughest math question

[PiKa]

This one toughest...?
How much has the standards dropped

 

[jeff79]

Think this is a stupid question, no value added for future worker

Actually most of the engineering maths, equations formula learned in school not used at work. Got softwares to do the calcution, only need to input the parameters.

Maybe the programmers, phd researchers then got use the maths manually at work.

 

[MungoDungo]

Easy or hard doesn’t matter. Everyone gets the same question

 

[Shion]

i have no idea how to do this question

i have turned stupid...

 

[selemuse]

My take:

The answer is
a) Cannot be determined
b) Cannot be determined

Maybe that question means to test the ability to analyze and reason.

When student can solved such question, what kinda job can they do in future?

Many 读死书. When comes to application, most can't solve

 

[Whispers]

26cm

next part use proportions

 

[whatheheck]

26 ah.
bottom line can calculate all the unknowns

 

[Yowe55 mini]

Dear all,

(a) 41-18 = 23 + 3 = 26 , therefore AB = 26cm
(b) (26+18+18)+(23+23+26) = 134 and 26-18=8. Therefore 134+8 = 142 + 3 = 145 cm

Confidence for the future. More good years ahead... Let us take Singapore forward together.
Thank you.

 

[sk0065]

Ab = 26cm
Peri = 145cm

26+18+18+8+26+23+23+3

here we go again

 

[Taloona]

When student can solved such question, what kinda job can they do in future?

Mayor.

 

[wongminmin]

so easy?

 

[lup_cheong_very_long]

Wats the pt of this qns?

 

[Godeau]

Not tough, but cannot imagine if kid doing this, will be tough. No need use algebra, just proportions from the clues given

 

[articland05]

solve alrdy after graduate also jodless

 

[banbleh]

Seems ok, logical thinking more than math.

 

[matt1618sg]

Side AB = 18 + x
Move triangle 3 out until it touches triangle 2.
Then 41 + 3 + x = 2 ( 18 + x )
Solve for x.
QED.

nowadays PSLE Math so chim wan ah

 

[asymmetric]

I solved it on Tuesday
