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.


[quote=\"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.

Hi, thmejlfm, maybe the following links will be helpful to you. They provide some description of the various projects in P5.

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:

Oh...yes, you did. Sorry. Different names so i get confuse :). thanks though!!

If i really come across a very challenging one, will ask you for help.

Hi, Vilim, in your opinion, which ISO project is the 'easiest' ? Don't involve alot of time, effort etc.

I am not sure about other ISO project but my ds did the ivp project and is not too difficult nor stress la. Everyweek, there will be an extended day for the kids to discuss the projects with their group mates and mentor/teacher. The grade is not taken into account of the exam marks but some schools , like this yr RI, might request the kid to show their project tt they are proud/good of during dsa interview. So try to do it good lor.

DD says it's on shipping charges. They are supposed to find the cost of shipping a parcel, given a set of conditions. She says it's easy. Let's hope she did not misunderstand the question cos even she told me that the teacher said it was going to be tough. I'm keeping my fingers crossed :xedfingers:[/quote]


mine also feedback easy. suppose to find the cheapest shipment charge given many combinatorial of conditions. may i know what is your dd's answer to this question?[/quote]


Sighzzz.... She says she can't remember the answers already.

My dd also said that she can’t rem the answer already…

I know. I would much rather they have it around the same time. The PSLE marking days are very useful for revision.

May I know what are the topics to be tested for GEP 5 social studies ? TIA


Mine said yesterday maths test was difficult, can't even finish the paper

Ever heard tt it is to have a common schedule with CHS(junior) who has to follow their CHS(sec) schedule since GEP centers all will be tested using common test papers.

Personally I like it so that I can bring my ds go enjoy PSLE marking days holiday.

My view is tt maybe the gep branch has planned this to free up the geppers after the early SA2 so that the geppers can do other non-exam assignments or activities..
