NRP - Sprint maths

Another success activity done by the Mathematics and Science Department for the 45 minutes intervention program is the Sprint maths which involves mental and physical challenges. The students are divided into 4 or 5 groups. In each group, they should select a runner. The runner should run to the checkers' table to get the Mathematics problem and return back to her group. After solving the problem and calculated the result, the runner will run to the checkers' table for checking their answer. If is is wrong, the checker will return the question back to be solved again. If it is correct, then they would get a new mathematics problem question. Altogether, there are 10 questions and those groups which solved all the 10 questions correctly first is the winner.

Snake and Ladder Game for Integers

The third activity for NRP's 45 minutes intervention program is the Snake and Ladder. The teachers have to teach the students the basic theory of integer,  BODMAS and the rule and regulation of the game before the students could play the game.
To play the game, the member of the groups have to roll the dice first and placed her coin on the game board, according to the number as shown by the dice. If the coin fall on the snake head, means the coin has to moved down to the end of the tail (lower number). If on the ladder, then it climb up the ladder to a higher number. But if it falls on the word 'card', then the student has to pick up a card and solve the problem. If the answer is correct, she will then proceed to forward few steps as stated on the card. If not, then she will miss a round turn.
The students really enjoyed this game but a few students felt nervous as they landed on the word 'card'. It is either proceed or miss a turn for them. Beside enjoying the game, the students will also learnt Integer as well.
The SMSB's SLP team members, Cikgu Salanjat, Cikgu Goh Siah Ching and Cikgu Hafizuddin have went from class to class to witness the activity.
