For the Mathematics Alternative Assesment for P6, my ds intends to choose "Break the Code". Is this topic difficult or time consuming? His seond choice is "Pigeon and Pigeon Holes" or "Statistics". Any advice? TIA.

Think this is something new and past GEP P6 has not done this ...

Hi 8228, according to my dd, her math teacher told them that the previous students who chose to do \"break the code\" tend not to do so well... so she immediately puts a big cross over that topic

Does anyone know what Pigeon and Pigeon Holes are about? Is it difficult to do?

I think the teachers should provide more details before asking the pupils to make a choice. Now have to tikam tikam. If choose a very tough or time consuming one :stupid: :slapshead:

They were given the seven topics last Wed / Thurs and were told to submit the choice on Monday. Acording to ds, many picked Break the code because it looks fun to do (which ds did too). He did pigeon hole last yr as a project so he is not doing it again. I hv no idea what the rest of the topics are but my advice to ds was simple. Pick one which u will learn something new and interesting.

This morn DS told me he intend to choose \"break the code\" as he find it interesting! :yikes:

Advise him not to as it's very tough. His teacher said it will be guided but I explained to him his CCA schedule this year is very tight so if can, choose something simpler but still interest him. Dare not think now, just can only :xedfingers:
