Oh such a strategy ah? Acutally if demand is too high, they should first take away those who took 2 seats (ie allocate one seat per child). After that if still exceed demand then ballot. Fairer right? Haha...
Wow, looks like it is going to be overwhelming. I have signed up for 2 seats. I read somewhere in the letter that they will ballot if more than 100 sign up. So just to increase the chance if there is balloting. Oops!!!

I've attended his talk before. Very informative.it is going to be taught by Dr. Yeap Ban Har - author of that Mastery Bar modeling book. The parents workshop will be conducted at rgps premises, organized by rgps alumni team.
Last time Dr. Yeap taught only individual level, at the parents workshop. This time round however is different. He is going to teach all levels P1 to P6 concurrently at parents workshop on Saturday 23 April, using Bar model methodology approach. Not sure how he's going to teach all levels at same time. An eye opening experience ! Should go together with your spouse. So that if one spouse is tired of teaching your child maths at home, the other spouse can take over. $30 is an worthwhile investment!
Yes, some primary schools at Pri 1 already using his bar modeling method approach to solve problems. The advantage of using bar modeling is because can solve very complicated maths problems very fast, at split second. When come Pri 3, pupils issue encounter maths problems with algebra, etc. This method can overcome quickly, because the method is visual to kids. Since it's visual, kids understand much easier. Teachers have found it very useful, some schools had started using it. Radin Mas primary is one already embarking on this methodology, you may read the link here:-

gradually, more and more Primary Schools in SG will start adopting his approach to tackle and solve P1 maths problems.
in fact, Dr. Yeap approach has won many critique in US. Many US Maths teachers and Maths professors are using his method to teach students in US, follow our Singapore method, because our Singapore students excel in Maths internationally in global Maths competition. You may read more about it yourself from internet.
