2011 PSLE Discussions and Strategy

Augmum:

yes, my gal told me that she used Algebra for at least 4 Qs for her PSLE 2009 Maths paper.....(that killer maths paper )

partically for 1 Q , first, she tried using model drawing,
but she encountered some problems with it......
she then cancelled the whole working and replaced it by algebra, within minutes her answer was out.....
for those kids who can grasp algebra concepts well, using algebra approach is much faster.....

oh yes, remember \"to confine\" yr 1 st working to the first half of the page,
so as u will have enough space for the 2nd working........

Hi Augmum,
Thanks for the tip. DD likes to start her working out right in the middle. :skeptical:

vlim:

I am curious to know, for maths qns, your kids usually use algebra tp solve or model ?.. My ds said he likes to use algebra to solve unless the qn stated to use model.. But he said they will not be asked to use only a particular method to solve such as model. Is tt right?

My Gal say as Long as Can GEt Ans .... Correctly, of Course with Working shown, Algebra or Model Mtd, Both Can be Accepted by her T

very difficult math, easy Chinese and some tricky Science questions.

As such, most of the school may also set the papers according to the pattern.

I wish your dd good luck and all the best for today Science prelim paper! :rahrah:

Can go for the nice lunch after the exam! :boogie:

I think Math is different with the other three subjects and it has to practice more regularly to build up the sharpness, accuracy, speed and also get more exposure to various types of questions that can be asked in many ways! :scared:

Hi vlim,
DD usually solves maths questions with unit transfer method. She finds it's faster than models.

DD was told by her teacher that any logical method that derives the correct answer will be accepted. Working out should be clearly stated as correct answers with no working out shown..... will not be awarded full marks. The reason the teacher gave was....the student could have copied the correct answer from another student.
