Have you ever wondered...

kaka:
Yes, i agree ....having good foundation of model drawing at lower primary will certainly help in upper level....BUTChiefKiasu:
But yes, why must model diagramming be forced onto our children? Why can't we make it optional - if kids can solve it using their own methods, why deduct marks from them if they don't get the model right?
I had the same questions when I started to teach my girl p3 maths three years ago. I was told that having good foundation of model drawing at lower primary will help her solve more difficult model questions in upper level. Three years later, I can see the light. Model drawing is one of the tools to solve maths problems. When faced with a tricky problem, having a \"toolbox\" of tools will help in solving the problem in the the most efficient and effective way. For some questions, drawing model is the best way to \"see\" the problem.
Model drawing is NOT the best and efficient tool to solve complex challenging questions in upper levels....
If it is so \" Super\" why cant it be used to solve secondary level Maths questions.....E or A Maths ??

Sorri....it is NOT only for the young ones ....
the purpose of that 'exam' is not to test the ability of drinking but the proper use of a milk bottle. thus, if the young ones show that they can drink from a cup, it is NOT ACCEPTED as what the examiners want to see is that the young one can use a milk bottle properlyAugmum:
Why force pupils to drink from milk bottles where they are already comfortably drinking from cups.....
Worse still......they want the pupils to re- drink again the same milk, but to show them it is from the milk bottles..... :siao:
lumos
For a 11 to 12 yrs old......still need to show them to drink fr milk bottles ??
Juz to add.....
From my gal 's encounter, marks are not penalised during exams, ( of coz they cant penalise since it is stated black and white to be accepted in Psle)
But u would see or hear unnecessary and undesirable/ unpleasant comments from her daily worksheets..... -
... how come my \"Have you ever wondered thread\" became a milk bottle and cup drinking thread?

Have you ever wondered if there is any thread in KSP that doesnt lead to PSLE (or PAP) ?ChiefKiasu:

All roads lead to Rome
All threads in KSP lead to PSLE

Have we ever wondered what our kids really like to do?
-
Why kids now seem to prefer playing with a handheld device, like iPhone, iPad, hand phone, than kicking a ball around, or cycling, or climbing trees, or adventuring?
-
How a group of teens can sit around, next to each other, yet not say a word, while every kid is busy typing his/ her comment into a hand phone.

if they don't test this kind of thing
then how are they going to differentiate the different types of students?
everyone got some mathematical sense, not everyone got the time, money, resources, tuition and/or kiasu parents to drill obscure stuff till it rolls off the brain with the practiced skill of a ballerina
besides, mathematical models are very useful.....esp if you're a loanshark administrator but cannot know all the details
