Without knowing the details, "break the code" sounds interesting to the kids. But I don’t want my ds to choose a topic which is too difficult or time consuming. This week alone, he has to submit ERP and SS portfolio.

Me 2 but I can't stop him if he insist. I can only give him advice, ultimately he is still the decision maker & doer. Just wait & see if he listened to my advice or not.

There was some discussion last year on how difficult ‘break the code’ is and that even tertiary lecturers had problems solving it. Curious, I asked my dd which topic she chose to do during her time and she said ‘break the code’. Well obviously she didn’t come to me or my hubby for help because we didn’t even know which topic she chose. I asked her how was it. She said easy. And she solved it all on her own. The teacher offered no help either. I guess whether the topic is easy or difficult depends on the child and whether they ‘get’ that particular question. Just go ahead and let your child try something they’re interested in.

is ‘breaking the code’ a last letter generator?

I don't think it's difficult for the kids. At least one of ds's classmate has solved it and on his way to completion. Ds has the answer too and now working on delivery.

I remember reading the assessment sheet that teacher will be monitoring their work and students can meet their teachers to discuss progress. So parents need not worry too much.

I remember my ds submitted 2 drafts for teacher's comment before the final submittion.

Oh dear! My dd said she’ll choose topic 1, something on lines; straight and curved lines. I have no idea what she is suppose to be doing. Better ask her later when she’s back.

Glad to find the Math AA discussion here. My DC is also considering the "Pigeon and Pigeon Holes" and "Statistics" method. Hopefully it is not a difficult topics and DC has so 2 portfolio to submit this week.

Really pity the kids as they have to work on so many portfolios, stay back for supplementary lesson for 2 days till 4 pm and pile of homework to be completed. Sometime, really wonder whether they are able to take the stress. Even adult like us also feel tired, not to mention the kids. :nailbite:

Sometimes we think it's difficult because our brains are wired differently from our kids'. We're probably also too set in our ways and can't think out of the box. So something that's tough for us is probably not difficult for these kids, especially if they're naturally talented in Math.
