2020 PSLE Discussions and Strategies(for those born in 2008)

[phtthp]

All current 2019 P5 students, preparing for 2020 PSLE next year



For Maths, besides practise from the

(1) actual PSLE past year papers,

(2) Top schools' Prelim (SA2) and Mid-year (SA1) papers,

u must also practise more Heuristics, because in school, your class Teacher only ask you to do homework from P6 \"My Pals are here\" workbook, which is clearly insufficient.


For Heuristics, u may purchase

Assessment book titled P6 \"Thinking Skills & Heuristics\" by Publisher \"Teachers at Work\", or by below blue book recommended by one parent (monkeysea), to help yourself strengthen Heuristics

Out of the 3 most challenging ones circulated online for PSLE 2019 Maths, the pattern question was possibly the most difficult. However, this is a pattern question of moderate difficulty if you were to compare 2018 SA2 papers. The green font shows the reasoning process and the blue font shows the required equations.

Below are similar pattern questions from 2018 SA2 papers.

Thank you for sharing.

By any chance would you know - Are pattern questions not too heavily tested?

I havent done much homework. However, I have glanced thru 2019 prelim papers from about 8 schools. Not many pattern questions leh? Pattern questions mostly choot in P4 and P5 papers?

Do you know which area your child needs help with?

I know chenlaoshi was a former MOE chinese language teacher. Just not sure what area of effectiveness u’re looking for, but you can ask him.

Encourage yr child to read more books. Vocabulary goes along with usage ability. Pointless learning vocabulary words (which sch alr testing in spelling lists) but the child do not use them appropriately.

Also, less gadget time, as Mr Sherman of Academia once advised that today’s generation engaged too much on screentime (TV, laptop, hp, ...) & the brain has not been trained enuf to think & analyse & most of these kids can’t sit quietly with a book anymore after their screen excitements.
