All About GEP

Hmmm... Then I better warn my dd not to pick anything that sounds suspiciously 'fun'. Knowing her, \"break the code\" would be something she would choose cos sounds like a game. Wah... I have no Math PhD holders in the family for her to turn to

That was what i thought - must be very interesting. Until i see the question :yikes: -
Lynn: Thank you very much for sharing the questions with me.
I have to agree that the question is very challenging. In fact, I beleive that most of the undergraduate cannot solve it too.
It took me some time to fully understand the solution. You need to understand the specific characteristic and fundamental knowledge in it.
I really pity the parents (and the kids) who have chosen this question. Guess I can set up a consultancy :evil: for GEP alternative assessment.Lynn2010:

Hi comfy, on hindsight, would you send your dd to GEP if you were to do this again?

at this moment, I don’t think so.

My DS chose Line Designs (AA). His Math teacher gave the pupils a brief description of each topic before they made their choices. The teacher also advised them to choose (or rather, NOT to choose) certain topics, but left the final decisions to the pupils themselves, of course. My DS took up his favourite teacher's advice and did Line Designs. He scored 18/20 for AA.

Just now while I was cleaning my ds book shelves, I realise the 'Murderous Maths' series got a book called 'The secret life of code'..wonder is it similar to 'break the code' maths topic which Lynn2010 has mentioned or not

hahaha..... not sure if they will change to a more difficult question leh. Now MOE thought that the Geppers (12 yr old) can solve this \"Break the Code\". They now try to set something 'Unbreakable Code\" to break the brain. Just joking...Lynn: Thank you very much for sharing the questions with me.

Hmmmm.... interesting. What is this 'Murderous Maths' series. I havent heard of it. Honestly, i dont understand what MOE is trying to achieve by giving this sort of very difficult question.
Throughout my dd GEP years (P4 not so bad), every time i see the 'Rubics', my first remark is \"What homework does MOE give mummy now?\" Not that she cannot do it, but i must monitor her right, so it is as good as doing the hm wk loh. -

at this moment, I don't think so.
I hope your dd gets better teachers next year.
