Hi,

My name is Tan Seng Hong, from St Mary's Sandakan. All of use were in the kursus EQ2 last October in SPA KK.

I would like to ask your help in developing STPM maths S/T content on StpmWiki.com. What we are basically trying to do is to create the ultimate resource of maths S/T for use for all students and teachers. This isn't just some past year questions/exam tips, or some fancy project/question bank, this is pretty much EVERYTHING : - including lessons, worksheets, exercises, tutorials, all related information, to solve real problems in our teaching and learning processes. This is NOT a commercial project (it isn't even really an inovasi project), it is open source project, and everyone is free to use all materials.

My own little knowledge and experience isn't enough, only with your contribution, even just as peer reviewer, the contents will improve, way better than any printed resource on the market. Ever have to tell you student the textbook is wrong? Ever have to tell them the answer is workbook is not only carelessly wrong, but conceptually wrong, and/or does not fulfill marking scheme of STPM? StpmWiki aims not to solve only these problems but various major problems we have too.

In short, StpmWiki is about collecting OUR knowledge and experience, and use that to create the best resource for everyone.

Please do look at the following pages for more detailed explanation

Further discussion/feedback can be held at the following forum MalaysianTeachers.com

Lastly, please do also forward this invitation to any other form 6 teachers in other states that you might know.

Thanks very much and really looking forward to your participation.

This is a reply to a question of how you might help in developing the Maths content in StpmWiki.com

Some background
I have only completed very few subtopics, such as set algebra, AP & GP, binomial expansion. These are mostly complete, together with worksheets and past year questions, but there some things I still need to do, such as adding guidance to exercises and to all past year questions. I have also listed the to do's in the Discussion for Teachers page for the subtopic.

How you might help
It could be something as simple as
* Help me correct my horrendous English (grammar in particular)
* Help me spot/correct for careless mistakes ( my students can be witness to how very careless I am!)
* Help me with collecting past year questions (including the information about the marks allocated to each question), or better yet, scan EVERYTHING for reference if you have a complete collection.

To something more
*Help me improve on the lessons/worksheets
*You can also add alternative ways/notes/questions to the lessons itself; However, it might not be added to the worksheet yet, and it might also be helpful to sign off it (i.e. write your name after what you add)
* Add more tough/varied questions to the Misc questions section, together with solutions and guidance --> I think this will be a good place to start. Have some particular question that you just know the students won't be able to solve? Put them here. I think the publishers won't sue us, but of course we can't copy the solution (from Q& A books, for example), and we really should add guidance rather than just the solution.

Supplementary Materials
One of the main reason I use wiki software is that it is versatile. If you would like to contribute something entirely out of the current structure, you are still very WELCOMED to do so. Say,
*You want to write a general "How to prepare for exams"
*You want to upload your school's Trial paper with solutions
*You want to upload pdf, powerfpoint files on your working paper / action research / your teaching experience...
