All About GEP

[Herbie]

oh! Also another ge mum told her younger dd to perform better than her jie jie.


And if she scored lower marks than her jie jie she would be in hot soup. Cos her mum will be very upset with her.

.

[comfy]

Am I right to say that this girl is in gep while her jie jie is not? If that is the case, poor kid, must be very stressful, don’t know whether the jie jie will feel demoralised if mei mei had to do better than her.

[Herbie]

her jie jie was also from gep.

[comfy]

now I really don’t understand this mom. why must younger dd perform better than jie jie. Sometimes I wonder how parents can produce two gifted kids. It is interesting to know.

Hi smurfette3,

It would be best if u are able to source for a private tutor who is familiar with gep maths. Otherwise u may like to try the learning lab maths since some says are useful, like trex8 dd... Afterall practice makes thing more perfect especially for maths... Else if TLL doesn't work for your ds then u may like to try Mindstretcher .. Emm at least with this tuition he might at least do well for his psle :roll: :xedfingers: ... As what we have mentioned earlier it would be best to have a word with his maths teacher and see what help can the teacher provide ...
By the way is he strong in his languages? Some geppers are good in languages but no good in maths..

Hi smurfette 3,

I agree with vlim that ds will benefit from a private tutor than a class. A class will have to follow their syllabus (or lesson plan), whereas a private tutor can zoom in to what your ds cannot understand.

But please make sure that the tutor can teach at least lower sec math too. I remember teaching my dd simultaneous equation in P6 (for example).

phtthp:

you mean if a child in GEP class, he cannot attend those normal Maths tuition centre, but die die ... must find those special GEP Maths tuition class ?


is GEP Maths curriculum so different from mainstream Maths curriculum ? if Yes, how much far off, and in what kind of Maths topics ? can give example(s) ?

Hi phtthp,

Unfortunately it is very different from the mainstream Maths curriculum. They pitch one or 2 level higher. At GEP P4, it is not so bad, from experience, they pitch at about P5. At P5, pitch around P6 and a little Sec 1 and P6 at Sec 1 or 2.

I hate their project or extended study or whatever they call it!!! I remember once she did this \"Break the Code\". I \"break my brain\" after 2 weeks and asked a relative who is a PHD holder to help her. He has to consult his professor who throws it back at him. He solved it for me in the end.
