Q&A - P3 Math

[24hr-mum]

that means u wont get the child to do all questions in the asst bk, but only certain important questions right?

Yap,where ur child’s weakness is or is the heuristic or science concept or grammar item ur u r teaching ur child on that lesson.


Nearer exam maybe say 2 weeks , then u go in school exam papers.

A little goes a long way,

I did it with the pupils I teach in school n what I get is this:

1) pupils less likely to not do their homework as compared to other class pupils

2) pupil results r better than pupils from other classes.

H/w I must emphasize on diagnostic teaching, question ur child what her mistake is n ask her how to rectify it. Works wonder for exam checking.

thanks for ur great advice.

chk wif u, if i bought those top sch exam papers that has CA, SA, etc, if i dont start from beginning of the year, cant finish so many sets.

if do only 2 wks bf exam, can finish huh?

[spunky]

My question to u is this : can ur child take it if u expect her to finish all the exam papers and also the assessment books u bought?


If she can without any stress, then fine, go ahead and pile it on her.

Many teachers and parents make the same mistake: The more the merrier as every other parent is doing it.

But if u plan properly, a few goes a long long way. Resist the temptation to buy so many assessment books.

Solution:

Use some of the papers in place of assessment books.

Best part is u save money buying assessment books, questions are set by teachers for the top school exam papers and thirdly, u do not waste paper

when my girl was p1, i used to rely only on top sch exam papers. same for p2. but i realised she need those topical assessmt bks to drill the basic concepts cos the exam papers are more for application, not drilling

[spunky]

I agree with u.


I told u to be selective about what u choose for your child

1 - 3/8 - 1/8 = ____


For the above type of math questions, will marks be deducted if the child did not reduce the answer to ‘1/2’ after getting ‘4/8’?
Thanks.

no marks should be deducted unless the question specifies that answer must be in the simplest form.

However, as a good habit, teach the child to reduce at all times especially simple fractions like 4/8
