thmejlfm:

I also don't know what is investigation math.

comfy:

So it not those pattern or sequences types of questions? Whew!

Dont worry, take one thing at a time (cant keep up). I live my life the past 3 yrs w/o knowing all these Investigation math, IVP, ID (havent heard of it) etc thingy. Only the BreakTheCode thingy make me take a second look. I learnt only 2 weeks ago that it is call AA (Alternative Assessment). Perhaps my dd was too lousy to be chosen. What a mum (i am)!!!

Really !, that nice of you. Are you hinting that you are a PHD? :evil:
I will definitely need all the helps that I can get. I have a hard time trying to arrange her 'recent' enrichment lessons with school activities. One extra school activity will upset all her enrichment lessons. Rearrange until I become blur-blur. Hope that she can stop all these 'new' enrichment lessons next year. [/quote]

Can't reveal too much :censored: But I am confidence that I belong to the top 0.1% of the population in terms of Math :evil:[/quote]

Wow...... I blurred already. What is all these Iso, IVP, ID????


My dd is now P4. Today, she just did her investigation maths test. Not sure is easy or touch.

vlim:

2 info for parents of p4 geppers.

1. Sometime after SA, the kids will be ask to choose their next yr most preferred ISO projects. IVP, ID, Future problem solving and etc...I think ID need audition. Teacher in charge will make the final decision which type of project your kid will pick up.

2. Sometime after SA also or early next yr...the kids will take a selection tests for Advance maths enrichment club which mainly doing MO questions. Only selected ones through the test will be invited to join this AMEC in p5.

Glad to hear someone same as me. I was thinking am I the only P4 gep mom that is really so sotong.

wow..... dont tell me you are the one who set the PSLE or the GEP papers or their AA, ID, blah blah project??? Or..... you are the one who come out with the Break The Code question!!! nevermind :pokeeye:

[violin_lover]

Lynn: For math, I am better than those who set the questions. I emailed you before, it is part of my work


comfy: I was unable to get into gep program. Not many people in the area of my work. My work deals with lots of mathematics.

Hence, if you ask me gep question on English or science related to biology or chemistry, I would not be able to help :yikes:
