I noticed dd1 has changed her method used for the multiplication. She is using those like taught in ‘songs’ one…which i find slower. Eg. 6x7…she will go by 1x7, 2x7 …6x7…i asked her why like that already (it should ve 6x7=42, not from beginning mah)… and she says it is easier. I could only think probably due to lesser practice cant get ans out straightaway.

You are welcome phtthp. Just told my dd to practise her Fraction as part of Math revision. It's been ages since we did Math revision. Careless mistakes like 6 / 3 = 3 appears for simplifying equivalent fraction. Not only that, the calculation speed for multiplication and division is much slower now. I have to help dd brush up on the accuracy and the speed of mental calculation for multiplication and division. Otherwise, miscalculation will be very costly careless mistakes for SA2 Math.
Yes careless mistakes..redo can do one. Told her such a waste those marks if in exam. Dont know then no choice, know but got it wrong., exam is not a test of speed., need all these marks to help other subjects. But already have lots of improvement lor compared to P2..that time faint and vomit blood. -
my kid said when she went back to school yesterday (Tue 13 Sep 2016), first day of Term 4 -
the Form Tr had already arranged the classroom seating arrangement such that entire P3 class of 38 students now sit at their individual desks separately by index number, tables no longer joined up two by two as in Term 3 before, seating arrangement all getting ready for SA2 :nailbite: -

This is good. In my DD1 class, they are still seated in group of 5 or 6. What make the matter worse is the teachers always put the more well behaved ones in the last 2 rows. Front rows are reserved for the naughty and noisy boys! Being naughty has special privilege. I really cannot understand the rationale. Why penalized the good students. Naughty students should be made to stand outside the class if they are beyond control and distracting the rest! My DD1 (I mean not just her but a few others too) is really poor thing as she is petite size and gets block by those bigger build students in front.my kid said when she went back to school yesterday (Tue 13 Sep 2016), first day of Term 4 -

3 more years to PSLE! Helping your child to lay strong foundation for all subjects is very important from preschool years to P3 level. The next 3 years will be the challenging years. It’s not about the T-score. It’s about the learning journey. P3 children should be able to be on auto-pilot mode to study and not require micro-management as compared to their P1 days.

I m still waiting for that part of stronger and sustainable inner will in dd to emerge. Till today, still getting complaints from teacher
:sad: -
These days, my DD makes a lot of transfer error mistakes in her Math. She was quite careful in her P2 so I wonder what is the issue now. The number given in the question is for example 677 but when she copied down to do her equation, it becomes 667. Is this a common careless mistakes and is there an effective way to reduce such carelessness?
