Welcome back to this week !!
This week, we would like to introduce everyone on the topic of differentiation?
First, what is differentiation❓❓❓
Differentiation is a fundamental part of a branch of Mathematics; calculus. It is majority used to calculate "the rate", more commonly known as gradient in Mathematical term. This gradient typically describes the rate of something happen in real life. For instance, how fast a particular object changes its speed when it travels down a slope is all based on the concept of gradient. 📈📉

So, what exactly do we solve when we differentiate?
How do you find a gradient of a line? You can simply do this by applying the formula of "RISE/ RUN". Now imagine, there is a curve.🤔.. How do you find the gradient of this curve😕?

This is where differentiation comes in.

By simply differentiating the equation of the curved line, you can obtain the gradient. Now, let us explain the basic rules of differentiation.
A simple differentiation only consists of two steps:
1️⃣ Multiply the number in front by the power
2️⃣ Reduce the original power by 1

This means, differentiating 5 powered by 4 would result in (5*4) power (4-1) = 20 powered by 3. We hope you all understand a little bit more about the concept of differentiation.

Hi everyone, it is that time of the week aginl it is !!!
This week, we would like to share you guys on the topic of Statistics! 📊
Interpreting statistical diagram is a underrated skills you need for your daily lives, whether it is analyzing your results or, reading a newspaper on the birth rate 📈, statistical diagrams are all around us.
With that being said, how do someone interpret these diagrams?
Rather than being presented with a set of raw data, you may be given a diagram. Such diagrams are pretty straightforward to read and understand. You simply gathered this information that you have learned, which you are all familiar with during the topic of "Frequency". They are none other than the mean, median, mode, range and interquartile range.
What are the important things to look for in these diagrams?
1️⃣. Shading ---> This indicates what certain part of the diagram means
e.g. a (dual) bar-chart may show the first data in solid shading and second data in striped shading
2️⃣. Information given through the labels on the axes
3️⃣. Key words on diagrams
4️⃣. Anomalies (Outliers)---> This is to interpret whether this data should be left out when you are analyzing the set values.
How do I compare statistical diagrams? 🧮
By commenting on differences or similarities using
1. averages - mean, median and mode
2. spread - range and interquartile range
We hope this makes you understand better about how you interpret two different statistical diagrams.

Welcome back to this week . As exam are approaching, we would like to share tips on how to prepare before an exam. It is time for
There is no one size fit all method for how to prepare for an exam. Mathematics exam is arguably one of the most "complicated" exam to prepare. Don't you worry, we here at Matrix Education Centre has prepared a series of tips that has worked with many of the students.
First, let's begin with WHAT NOT TO DO before the exam.
🚨 Don’t: Stay up late studying
"You can sleep once exams are over!" It is the most overheard and wrongly used statement of all time. We as a humas are not programmed to function without sleep. A lack of sleep will deprive you of focus and endurance, which are one of the most important assets for you to ace your exam.
Make sure you’re getting a good night’s sleep 💤 during the week to be alert, focused, and ready you are when the exam begins.
Now, what do you need to do to prepare?
1. Always solve past papers for our IGCSE students and always rework every problems from each chapter for our secondary, primary students.
This is for you to understand what topics you need to focus more on. This lead to the second step:
2. Rework the topics that you made mistakes on. Take note of the mistakes while you are resolving the problems. Do more samples from this topic to make sure you have fully understood the concept.
Last but not least, make notes for important formula and concept. Write them down in your 📝 note book, to help you memorize 🧠 more easily.
‼️ MOST importantly, use a learning style that suits YOU Best. With that being said, we here at Matrix Education Centre wish everyone the best of luck 🍀 for your upcoming exam.

Welcome back to ! As our IGCSE students has finished their Extended Mathematics exam, and all the other students are going to sit for their exam soon, we wish you all the best of luck!!! 🍀🍀🍀For you guys to ease your mind a little bit, we would like to share 🔟 FUN and COOL facts about MATHEMATICS!

1. Do you know that forty is the ONLY number that is spelt in alphabetical order?

2. Likewise, there is also ONLY one number that is spelt in descending order, and it is no other than ONE!

3. FOUR is the only number in the English language that is spelt with the same number of letters as the number itself (4)!

4. -40 °C is equal to -40 °F. 🥶❄️❄️🥶

5. 2 and 5 are the only prime numbers that end in 2 or 5.

6. “Eleven plus two” can be arrange into “twelve plus one” and both their answer are equated to 13.

7. Do you also know there are 13 letters in both “eleven plus two” and “twelve plus one”?

8. In a room of 23 people there’s a 50% chance that at least two people have the same birthday. 🎂🎂🎂

9. If you shuffle a deck of cards ♣️♥️♠️♦️properly, it’s more than likely that the exact order of the cards you get has never been seen before in the whole history of the universe. This is because, every time you shuffle a deck of card, including the 4 jokers 🃏, you have 56 factorial (56 * 55* 54 * 53.... * 3 * 2 * 1) possible combination.

10. 73 is the 21st prime number and 37 (its mirror 🪞number) is the 12nd prime number (mirror 🪞of 21).

For this week, we would like to reflect on whether you truly understand the concept with some questions; yes it is our usual QUIZ TIME! 🥁🥁🥁
ARE YOU READY?
1️⃣. 2√3 + 7√3
2️⃣. Determine the product of 2√3 and 3√5.
3️⃣. Simplify the surd: √21 × √15.
4️⃣. Write the surd 4 / (1 + 2√3) in the simplest form:

CHALLENGE: Subtract the surd 12√45 from the surd 25√20.

💡💡💡HINTS: Addition and Subtraction of Surds can only be done within the same form of surds.
numerator.

Here are the solutions:
1. 9√3
2. 6√15
3. 3√35
4. (4 - 8√3)/ 11

Here is a step by step guide to the challenge question:

To find: 25√20 – 12√45.

Now, simplify the given surds into its simplest form.

Thus, 25√20 – 12√45 = 25√(2 × 2 × 5) – 12√(3 × 3 × 5)

25√20 – 12√45 = 25×2 √5 – 12×3 √5.

25√20 – 12√45 = 50√5 – 36√5
= 14√5

Now, we can subtract the similar surds.

Hence, 25√20 – 12√45 = 14√5.

Welcome back from the holidays and it is time for that day of the week; !!! 🥁🥁🥁
For this week, we would like to talk about the topic of "Surds."

So first, what is surd?? ⁉️
Surds are basically the values in square roots that cannot be further simplified. KEY WORD here are "CANNOT BE FURTHER SIMPLIFIED." This means, roots such as root 1, root 4 cannot be categorized as surds.

Now that we understand what surd is all about, how can we solve them?
There are six fundamental concept:
1️⃣. Addition of surds
2️⃣. Subtraction of surds
3️⃣. Multiplication of surds
4️⃣. Division of surds
5️⃣. Rationalizing of surds
6️⃣. Conjugate of surds

For addition and subtraction, the rules are simple. ONLY SAME ROOTS of surds can be added and subtracted. For instance, surds with root 3 can only be added to or subtracted by surds with root 3. During the process, basically rules of addition and subtraction applied.

💡💡💡TIPS: You can basically see surds as an algebra.

For both multiplying and dividing, we have to see the whole number (number outside the surd) and surds as two separate entities. For example, 8 root 6 divided by 4 root 2 = 8/4 + root 6/ root 2 = 2 root 3.

Now, we are entering the unfamiliar territory of rationalizing of surds. Don't worry... this isn't as complicated as you might think. This simply means getting rid of the surd from the denomination of the fraction when exists. You can do this by multiplying the surd you want to get rid of with itself. As root 3 * root 3 simply means 3.

Last but not least, conjugate of surds. This is similar to rationalizing, but you use this when the denominator is in the form of "a + root b." To do this, you have to find the conjugate of the surd you want to get rid of. You may ask how to do that? It is simply to change the sign between the two variables. The conjugate of a surd "a + root b" is "a- root b".

🆘DO NOTE: For both rationalizing and conjugating, you cannot just multiply the denominator. You cannot forget about the numerator.

Now, try to find it out would the denominator be after conjugating?

For this week, , we here at would like to ease things up a little bit and share something different and unique about a very familiar topic of Probability. To be precise, we would like to take a deep dive 🤿into "Law of Large Numbers". 💯💯💯
The most common question asked when it comes to Probability is that, whether the probability of something happening in theory represents the real life situation. For instance, the probability of rolling a 6 on a dice 🎲 is 1/6 meaning, on average you will roll a 6 once every 6 times. However, in reality, you could roll a 6, twice, thrice, or even none in your 6 rolls. Does this mean, probability is just a theoretical version of a formula where you cannot actually implement in your real life.
And that's where the "Law of Large Numbers" come into the play. Every scientific research, whether it is calculating yield in chemistry, or energy in physics, theory will not be identical to practical. However, the "Law of Large Numbers" make the theoretical date as accurate as possible. It guarantees stable long term results. This is what casinos used to gain the edge over and make money 💰 in the long run. For example, while a casino may lose money in a single spin of the roulette wheel, its earnings will be profitable to a predictable percentage over a large number of spins; thousands and thousands of spin.
We now hope you understand more about the probability and find law of large numbers interesting 🧐 .

For this week, , we here at would like to return to sharing knowledge regarding your IGCSE syllabus. And, drum roll 🥁🥁🥁🥁please, this week's topic is about exponential. 📈
First and foremost, what exactly is exponential? When a quantity increases from an original amount based on a certain percentage, it is known as exponential growth. Likewise, when it decreases, it is known as exponential decay. This topic is particularly reminiscent of what is going on in our daily lives. We are pretty certain you all have heard about the word rate, interest rate, annual birth rate, etc... These are all based on the topic of exponential.
The formula for finding the final amount after the exponential growth is P(1+r/100)^n!
Don't worry, we are not going to leave you hanging by just throwing out the formula. P stands for the principal amount, also known as the initial quantity, r is the rate of increment in percentage and n presents the number of time periods that the amount has exponential growth.
What did we mean by the number of time periods? 🙋‍♂️ 🙋‍♀️ For instance, if the time period where your interest is going to be added by month, 3 years of interest rate on the principle would mean n representing 36. On the other hand, if the set-time period is by years, n would represent 3 in this case.
Pretty simple now, right? 🧠
Oh, and yes you can get the formula for exponential decay is by simply substituting the additional sign ➕with the subtract sign! ➖

is back!!! 🥁 🥁 🥁

For this week, we here at would like to explain to everyone the difference between the IGCSE and your school exam (Year-9), or otherwise put the step-up between your IGCSE O levels and your lower secondary years.

Most clear obvious is the content of the syllabus that will be taught. First and foremost, IGCSE O levels consists syllabus content that is designed to be taught within 18-24 months. This means, IGCSE will be taught over the span of 2 years on average. With that being said, it is best to put constant effort within these times.

Now on the bright side⭐️, contents of core subjects such as Extended Mathematics, Science Subjects, and English are relatively familiar to the students. Almost 80% of the content will have been taught during your lower secondary years; at least the basics of it. However, for subjects such as Business Studies and Accounting, things might somewhat be unfamiliar to you for the initial moment. Don't worry 🚫though, as with proper guidance and effort, it can be cope with ease.

One more important thing to note 📝 for student is, to understand what the examiner expects of you. IGCSE examination is an exam where both your ability to absorb knowledge and critically think based on the knowledge will be tested. This means, students cannot expect to get high grades solely by memorizing everything and also not by not learning anything at all. A perfect balance 🤩 of knowing when to learn things by hard, and how to apply your knowledge is required to obtain the perfect grade 💯you desire.

We, here at hope students understand more on IGCSE from reading this.
