My dd put 爱不释手， 委屈

TQ, same ans .
[/quote

But then again, the question ask for 词语， and 爱不释手is a 成语.....so...

I checked thru the past year exam papers. The exam papers still indicate 词语 even though the ans is a 成语。so I think they might still be correct.

[quote=ejmom post_id=1938570 time=1569821894 user_id=96729]For compre last qn, my dd said he’ll do the same to 背黑锅, is that considered morally incorrect?

What were the reasons he provided? If the marking scheme is strict, will be considered wrong. But if he gave reasons like he wanted to give his friend a chance to correct his wrong and will talk to the friend + warn him not to do it again and to learn from his mistake then can 'overturn' the situation.

chenlaoshi,if we put the date and extra details for the texting one will get penalised?if yes how many marks? and also for today's combo can we use '我' as the male character? so sorry to trouble you hehe

psleisstress, as of my current understanding regarding 阅读理解二A组's content and Q34, yes, extra details like details of the event will be deducted 0.5 marks each (max -1 mark).

第一人称 can affect content marks a little (~ -2) cos boy wasn't in picture 5. The kids are usually reminded to write from 第三人称 pov if character is 'missing' from any of the pictures.

[/quote]Hi chen laoshi,

For the last question, if the child put he 赞成作者这样做 i.e. to let teacher assume the handphone is his whereby it is actually his friend handphone so that the friend will not get the scolding, is it possible to get marks as well? Mayb some questions can have 2 way answers both to be correct as the 出发点是好的?

By the way, anyone knows how many marks is that question?

2019 PSLE Maths paper 1 is challenging and those high-ability students in Maths should find it manageable.

Out for recess.

Did SEAB mix up the GEP assessment paper with the PSLE paper???? Not again!!! sigh......

hi, gep dude here...

can confirm the math paper is very hard

can also confirm that the gep assessment paper is harder lol

Ejmom, my girl wrote the same as your son. She said the person who dropped the phone is innocent, it was an accident. Dats why she wants to help him. Let’s hope our kids will get some marks.

Actually for 2019 Maths, those heavy 4 marks or 5 marks questions towards the end of Paper 2, are more \"Maths olympaid\" and Heuristics type of questions set, to differentiate P6 students from getting an A vs. A *

On one hand, someone bound to comment that
\"Ya lah, is like that wan mah, every year without fail, SEAB sure got to set a few tough questions !\". One forummer ever indicated this kind of meaning before, if check backwards.

However, on the other hand, in Mainstream schools (Non gep) -
Those P6 students who never attend any \"MO\" training before will lose out, because they have never received MO training before. MO is offered for upper primary P5 and P6 students, for full solid 2 years in primary schools. In some schools. Some kiasu schools even received (started) MO training earlier at P4, means in Total, 3 years.

Is it any wonder then, that these students will sail (breeze) through this year 2019 Maths, while those who never attend any MO at all, struggled ?

After all, those of us know that those worksheets from \"My Pals are Here \" are kind of useless, because none of these, ever prepare students to solve MO questions.

The logical question then we need to ask SEAB is,

Isn't it unfair to set those 4 and 5 marks \"MO\" questions, when NOT all P6 Mainstream students have the same, equal fair chance to receive \"in-house\" MO training, because so far, who get to receive free MO training in schools ? They are

A)
- GEP students, because the MO Maths questions are built in, designed already into the GEP (P4 to P6 ) curriculum,

And

B)
- those \"High ability\" Mainstream students, who were selected by their respective primary schools at either end of P3, or P4, to attend \"High ability\" MO free training lessons, in schools


Those P6 Mainstream students, who never receive any chance (opportunity) to smell nor experienced free \"MO\" training, everyday just keep practising those ordinary, not helpful \"My Pals are Here\" series, or keep practising tonnes and mountain high piked up stack and stack of past year papers, is it any wonder then that they are shocked, stoned, taken aback, stunned by these \"MO\" 4 / 5 heavy marks set inside Paper 2 this year, and cried (depressed ) ?


So, question is, why did SEAB
set heavy 4 / 5 marks Paper 2 questions, knowing that only a subset of P6 students had received this privileged, coveted free MO training in school, while Majority of P6 students did not receive ?

Isn't this very unfair, right from beginning ?

I mean, if want to test funny tough questions, make it fair -
That ALL p6 students, from beginning of P5 Term 1, regardless of whether you from Gep or from Non Gep, from high ability or from Non high ability Maths class students, All ought to have received free MO training, then Yes, test them all, because everyone stand on fair, EQUAL fighting battle ground, because everyone had been taught MO concepts. Then only is this considered fair and square !!!

Another key, important point -
If you want to help someone who is in need of help, who do u think u should extend a hand out, to help ?

Help those High ability students, who can already manage well on their own, through attending expensive, high end tuition in Maths paid by their parents, since they are doing so well in Maths ?

Or

Help those poor, weaker students, who need further help and greater support, in overcoming their fear of Maths ?

Answer -
Should be helping those weak students, helping those Non-high ability students, to overcome jump over the hurdle, help them strengthen their Maths
