Information

For the two-day home-based learning, we will assume a 1-hour session for the math tutorial. For classes who happen to have two math tutorial sessions in the normal timetable for these two days, you may choose to go through the tutorial materials here on the first tutorial session, and use the second tutorial session to prepare the remaining questions in Tut 6A not covered here, as well as Qn 1, 2 and 3 of Tut 6B.
