RRMummy, I shared the same sentiments as you on the high Math standard in RL. Well, some people said that boys are better in logic, thus better in Math as compared to girls. I somehow see that in my DD, logic really weak. Let's continue to work hard with our DD for the next round of challenge!

Hi gaagaa,

YES must jia you!!

Forget about those questions from topics never even taught before. I need to urgently rectify her super lame carelessness. :slapshead: :slapshead:

haha, I like your \"super lame carelessness\" description. Yesh, carelessness can really kill them. I'm not sure how to rectify as we've done what shd be done. We reminded her to show workings, check all her answers but STILL, made stupid mistakes which caused her to lose so many many marks... really heartache. :rant:

Ya, super lame like count the cookies on the plate answer can go fill wrongly in bracket, the shape sequence one also can fill in wrongly.

Her carelessness made her lose more than 10% for Maths and it affected her band. She kept telling me she is lousy at Maths. See her so poor thing also no heart to scold. We spent the weekend going through the paper together. I covered the anwers that she got wrong and she could give me the right answers, I tell her these are lame careless mistakes. After going through the 2 papers, I gave her the calculator and she tally the marks and % she should get if she had checked her work well. Showed her with and without careless mistakes marks and asked which she preferred. She was very happy when she saw that she actually can and said she will check next time... but dunno lah.. we'll have to wait and see.. But most important for me is that she doesn't feel that she is lousy at Maths.

There is a thread here shared on careless mistakes, maybe you can use some tips there.. http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=23&t=21650

My DD also cried after her mock test but it was after the friends laughed at her for getting lower marks than them. Haiz, these classmates hor, very bad.... but good thing that after her \"crying\", we start to panic and realise we got to do something to raise her self-confidence.

Sorry I missed this.

Alamak.. kids these day ah.. :spank:

Hope your DD has recovered from those hurtful comments :snuggles:

In my DS class, the FT will not allow them to check with their friends how many marks they get.... if FT finds out, she'll make them write 10 lines : \"I will not ask my friends how many marks they get\".... so, my DS is totally clueless about his close friends' marks. In a way, its good la.

Yes, my DD will be taking her PSLE oral exams in 6 weeks time. Starting to feel the stress liao.... come to think of it, stress started when both my DDs were in P4 .

Maths is a major hurdle for my DDs too ... in fact, all 4 subjects are so :slapshead: :stupid: :?
