Curriculum of class 8th in singapore...?
hey...were having an exam to apply to the Raffles institution in Singapore.
How do I prepare for subjects like Maths and English, at the class 8th level in Singapore? Is it quite different from the curriculum in India??
Can you suggest some good books for the same?
Thanks...!
Answer: Hi, I'm a former student of Raffles institution.
Unless I'm mistaken, since Class 8 is taken at age 13 in India, then I'm guessing that you would be joining the school at the Secondary 1 level.
The following are the curriculum for English and Math, as you asked.
Topics for Secondary 1 Math:
Real Numbers
Approximation and Estimation
Standard Form
Statistics I
Algebraic Expressions I (Basic Algebra)
Solutions of Equations
Set Theory
Arithmetic Problems
Angle Properties
Pythagoras’ Theorem
Mensuration
If you are already residing in Singapore, I recommend getting Mathematics Textbooks from bookstores. One good bookstore chain would be Popular Bookstore, which can be found in most major shopping centres and housing estates.
Topics for Secondary 1 English:
Macro-Concept: SYSTEMS
READING COMPREHENSION / WRITING
Introduction to Text Types:
- Information Texts
- Narratives
- Expository Texts
- Literary Texts
Text Forms:
- Reports
- Letters (Formal / Informal)
- Journals
LISTENING / SPEAKING
* Discussion
* Presentation
AN INTRODUCTION TO THE ELEMENTS OF LITERATURE
- Introduction to the features of the Genres
- Developing Personal Response
- Creative Expression (writing)
- Poetry: A Selection
- Prose: Short Stories, Novella
- Drama: One-Act Plays
It's basically learning to write and speak English as well as Literature in English.
As for the entrance exam, I'm not really sure about it since I went in through the Primary School Leaving Examination. You'll probably find it useful to look through the Math questions from the Primary 6 level from assessments books sold at bookshops. English would probably involve essay-writing and some grammar/vocab tests. You would probably be presented with a list of essay questions, including narrative and descriptive essays.
You might like to look through the Raffles institution website to get more information.
Good luck.

Category: Primary & Secondary Education
which syllabus does Raffles Institution follow ?
it is located in singapore.
Answer: The RP offers a seamless curriculum from Secondary 1 to Junior College, culminating in the Singapore-Cambridge GCE ‘A’ Levels Examinations. Since you no longer need to prepare for the ‘O’ Levels Examinations, much of your precious time will be freed up to hone the valuable skills and habits of mind you will need to surge far ahead in life.
The rigorous, yet stimulating, RP is differentiated to cater to the needs of our gifted and talented students. It prepares you for the demands of a fast-changing world where you will be expected to be responsible risk-takers when leading and serving the community and nation.
The RP is modeled on exemplary gifted education principles. The curriculum is based on the Integrated Curriculum Model (Joyce Van Tassel-Baska, 1986), developed for high-ability learners. The key elements of the curriculum are advanced content, higher order process-and-product work and overarching themes and concepts. Socio-economic learning is a key thrust of the RP curriculum.
What you can look forward to in the RP
The RP offers multiple options for research and independent learning. If conducting cutting-edge research is your cup of tea, you can look to dedicated faculty members from institutes of higher learning and industry partners for mentorship.
Character and Leadership Education is a cornerstone of the RP. The cultivation of national consciousness and the development of personal effectiveness and leadership competencies are undertaken in such a way that your experience is always authentic and of practical value.
The Raffles Philosophy course is also offered to all students and aims to nurture a community of inquirers with strong empathy and well-honed reasoning and dialoguing skills.

c++ programming assignment?
somebody, anybody!!!!!!!!! please HELP ME. this is due today and i have no idea where to begin. im desperateeeeeee =((((
In this assignment you will write a program for Charities, Inc., an umbrella organization for a number of charitable institutions, which from time to time sell raffle tickets and hold prize drawings to raise funds.
This program will take user input in the following order:
1.Number of tickets sold.
2.Percentage of ticket revenue which goes to administrative costs. This input will be entered in percent format (see sample runs below); your program must convert this to a decimal fraction. For example, the user enters 25% as 25, not .25; you convert the 25 to .25 in your code.
3.Total amount of prize money distributed.
4.Name of charity. The name may consist of more than one word.
The program then will output the following information in the following order:
1.Name of charity.
2.Total revenue generated from the ticket sales. The price of each ticket is currently fixed at $5.00.
3.Total amount of administrative overhead.
4.Total amount of prize money overhead.
5.Balance remaining for the charitable fund.

RAMADAN: How many Sahhaba were in Ghadeer-e-Khum?
QURAN: 5:3] Forbidden to you (for food) are: dead meat, blood, the flesh of swine, and that on which hath been invoked the name of other than Allah; that which hath been killed by strangling, or by a violent blow, or by a headlong fall, or by being gored to death; that which hath been (partly) eaten by a wild animal; unless ye are able to slaughter it (in due form); that which is sacrificed on stone (altars); (forbidden) also is the division (of meat) by raffling with arrows: that is impiety. This day have those who reject faith given up all hope of your religion: yet fear them not but fear Me. This day have I perfected your religion for you, completed My favour upon you, and have chosen for you Islam as your religion. But if any is forced by hunger, with no inclination to transgression, Allah is indeed Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful.
Please refer to the commentary of al Baqarah: 173 for carrion (corpse of a dead animal), blood flesh of swine, and that over which is invoked the name a ghayrallah (other than Allah). Also forbidden are the strangled, the beaten down, the fallen down, the gored, that which has been devoured by beasts of prey, and that which has been slaughtered at altars; and also dividing the meat by casting lots with arrows is forbidden.
Illa ma dhakkaytun-tadhkiyah means to cleanse (allowing the heat in the body to pass away through the Islamic way of slaughter).
From alyawm to Islama dina was revealed when the Holy Prophet announced at Ghadir Khum: "Of whomsoever I am the mawla (master) Ali is his mawla (master)". Please study the event of Ghadir Khum in the commentary of verse 67 of this surah.
Ahmad bin Hanbal, the founder of Hanbali sect, writes in his Musnad that a Jew had told the second caliph: "If there were a similar declaration in the Pentateuch, the Jews would have celebrated the day as a great festival."
This verse is also a clear testimony to the perfection of the religion of Islam. Please refer to the commentary of al Fatihah: 7.
Allah has completed and perfected Islam only when, under His command (Ma-idah: 67), the Holy Prophet had announced the imamat of Ali after the termination of risalat-he being the last messenger of Allah. Fakhruddin Razi has said that the Holy Prophet died 81 or 82 days after the revelation of this verse. All authorities agree that no law-giving verse was revealed after this verse. So without believing in Ali as the immediate successor of the Holy Prophet, according to this verse, the faith is neither complete nor perfect. The institution of imamat is necessary to keep intact the final word of Allah (the Quran) and to guide mankind unto the right path till the day of resurrection.
As verse 67 of this surah is inevitably connected with this verse, please study its commentary very carefully. To avoid repetition, all the historical, logical and rational arguments with authentic references pertaining to the imamah of Ali and his descendants mentioned in verse 67 of this surah have not been related here. This verse should be read as an immediate corollary of verse 67 of this surah.
This fact stands confirmed by a large number of non-Shia scholars, therefore, if any tradition contrary to this fact is narrated by Bukhari and Muslim, based upon diplomacy and political pressures, should be reviewed in the light of the bias and hostility they, and men like them, display whenever they deal with the merits of the Ahl ul Bayt. Please refer to Peshawar Nights, a well-known book published by Peermahomed Ebrahim Trust and Zahra Publications.
In the first verse of this surah it is said: "Verily Allah commands whatsoever He intends". So there is no sense in questioning the will of Allah if He intermingles various issues in any chapter, or in one verse, or two closely connected verses, or passages are placed away from each other. This arrangement was made by the Holy Prophet in his own lifetime.
QURAN: 5:67] O Messenger! proclaim the (message) which hath been sent to thee from thy Lord. If thou didst not, thou wouldst not have fulfilled and proclaimed His mission. And Allah will defend thee from men (who mean mischief). For Allah guideth not those who reject Faith.
"In the valley of Ghadir Khum the Holy Prophet had declared Ali to be his successor. Would that the nation had complied with the declaration.
I have neither witnessed another day so important as the day of Ghadir;
Nor have I ever seen so serious a destruction of right."
Muslim has also recorded this tradition in the chapter on the Virtues of Ali in his Sahih (vol. 2 p. 325) as related by Zayd ibn Arqam and transmitted through several sources. But he has recorded it briefly in a curtailed form as men of his class are apt to do about such matters.
Ahmad ibn Hanbal has recorded the tradition related by Bara ibn Azib in his Musnad, vol. 4

Should Congress be self supporting?
The current fad is to demand that transportation systems, hospitals, parks etc. all be self supporting. Traditionally, institutions such as these, which like roads and highways, are for the good of the people were supported by public funds. Even education is on the skids, with the logical goal of private schools which are self supporting, prisons too.
Why not Congress? Let them have bake sales, raffles, etc. to support themselves. Lobbyists could purchase cookies and lemonade out in the open instead of having to find clever ways to disguise their bribes.
Answer: I'm ROFL here just thinking of the ways politicians would corrupt bake sales, lemonade stands, raffles, etc.
