2021 PSLE Discussions and Strategies (Children born in 2009)
-
Hard or easy, it depends on the child, what skills has he picked up through his 6 years of formal education.
Not to offend any stakeholders here.
If a child only learnt solutions to problem sums from tuition centres which are so eager to display their solutions in online platforms, he may struggle if faced with brand new qns, esp under exam conditions.
Most importantly, a child needs to learn the critical thinking skills, higher order thinking skills. When faced with new problems or old, he can fall back on his own skills to find his own solution.
Parents have to understand how his child is solving the sums, through memory or thinking skills, to discern if the lessons he is getting will be helpful. Practices of similar qns may more harmful than anything. -
BTW still got higher mother tongue, so not yet 50% done

Just to chk, for AL score there won't be any moderation right? as compared to t-score.
AL score doesn't take reference how well your peers do but rather how well you do the paper. I thought this is the change for AL score
no more moderation for the Raw marks (score) under AL system.
What you see, is what you get !
However, assuming that majority of students did not do well for Maths this year, end up not so many P6 students scored AL 4, maybe the COP for some popular Secondary schools may adjust on its own, move up slightly.
Eg.
say If u expect COP for a popular school to be AL 6, who knows, maybe become AL 7 instead this year, something like that, which is good, isn't it ?
Anyway, 50% of 2021 PSLE is over, since already done with 2 subjects (English + Maths). Left with the remaining 50% balance (Chinese + Science), next week -
Hang in there, people. Civility is the only blessing we can have in this world to counter whatever we feel are unjust. Whilst I agree that the parent may not be thinking too well about the thoughts of other worried parents, I don't think the intent here is to rub their faces in shame. At least, we still get some good information that algebra seems to be accepted

Well, if your so called algebra equation is derive not from the sentence itself, then it is ok.

Else, no working mark will be given!
I have say enough. Up to you guy to believe.
Don’t be surprise your kids get all answers correct but end up get AL3 or AL4 is she used algebra derive from the sentence all the way. -
Oh wow! 😲 Guess this is why some parent rather keep quiet. My children already sat for their PSLE and when being asked about the papers by others, I’ll simply said “I think its very hard too” as not to be label as Arrogant.
Relax.
Be kind

If I'm to accept what you say, then you must be some mathematics teacher from some school. I do fear now, that math teachers in Singapore are confused over

the use of algebra. How come some say can and yet others say cannot? So if the child can use \"advanced\" algebra to get the right answer and present all his workings, he still won't get full marks?
I'm very confused. -

This will be my advice for tomorrow's preparation: https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=69&t=84699&p=1874232&hilit=chenlaoshi#p1874212
A blessed morning to all fellow parents!
Can any experienced parents/wise ppl in this KSP forum share their top tips for how to revise the coming CL papers with their DS/DD (i.e. what/where/which specific areas to focus on and speculated topic for this year's pictures compo etc), please help... thanks a lot!
You may find this https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=85&t=95548&start=60#p2039448 useful too.
All the best to the Pri 6s for their remaining papers! :rahrah:
