ChiefKiasu:
Don't forget to bring extra batteries too... 只怕万一
Good luck to all kids doing their mother tongue papers tomorrow!
Don't think there is time to change batteries. Best to bring 2 sets not only for Chinese E Dic but also calculators. -

gd to hear this - if possible i dun intend to let my younger have tuition too .My DD has no Maths tuition or MO training but found the PSLE papers manageable, so far only the parallelogram stumped her.
I don't think MOE is pushing parents to go for tuition. It's only 1 or 2 slightly more challenging questions than the rest and everything has been taught before I believe. In fact, perhaps 2015 was a more challenging paper.
its ok to have avg 2 or 3 interesting qn to identify the brainy ones ...
ah yo, 2015 qn more tricky n difficult ah :gloomy: poor ds ( but thank goodness, his got star last yr , he did comment that
he dun think he can get 91 lei , prob there were some adjustments )
fyi only, last yr ds thought the MT is really difficult for him , agreed by some classmates, who felt higher MT was more manageable than normal MT papers . And ds sch was \"selected\" to do a MT papers some days after PSLE , (I think this is how seab adj standard n charting the curve) -

Re : the light bulbs style of qn, vaguely, i recalled seeing them in abt P4 - they used traffic lights , trees, bushes , lamp post and pots previously . Lately i saw this qn appeared in p1 / p2 heuristics book (in house sch production)

The more basic of this type of questions is introduced in some schools in P2 (including neighbourhood schools) ... after they learn topic length.lee_yl:
Just curious, this light blub question resemble a MO type interval questions?
No.
Seen this type of question in P4 onwards till P6. Sometime, they use street lamps, flower pots. Sometime arrange in circle, square. Psle slightly tricky where they mentioned 3 sides only.
The recent published GLM P2 Maths Bite-sized assessment and Specimen Papers also has this type of questions. (eg pg 88) -

Really ah? P1/P2?
Re : the light bulbs style of qn, vaguely, i recalled seeing them in abt P4 - they used traffic lights , trees, bushes , lamp post and pots previously . Lately i saw this qn appeared in p1 / p2 heuristics book (in house sch production)
Like that cow and chicken or cars and motocycles and how many legs or wheels questions.
Niece time, she did such questions at upper primary. DD's time at P1/P2. Niece is 5yrs older than DD. Niece time, this kind of question high probability of it appearing during exams. DD's time, taught at P1/P2 and did not appear again in upper primary.
Math questions also got trend one.

MT compo… any feedback on how was the paper??
-
Curious to know the topics for MT comp too

Regarding the light bulb qns, really lah, I have come come across similar questions like planted trees intervals in MO books for juniors (8-9yo) so I thought that question is "simple MOish", as another forummer calls it.
