  1. 11 February 2012by Mrs Yeo Poh GeokLH/Mathematics (UP) P5 and P6 Math Sharing

  2. Overview • Mathematics Framework • PL Mathematics Programmes • Use of Calculator • Assessment & Rubrics • Assessment Marking Guidelines • Getting Prepared

  3. Mathematics Framework Beliefs Interest Appreciation Confidence Perseverance Monitoring of one’s own thinking Self-regulation of learning Attitudes Metacognition Mathematical Problem Solving Numerical calculation Algebraic manipulation Spatial visualisation Data analysis Measurement Use of mathematical tools Estimation Reasoning, communication and connections Thinking skills and heuristics Application and modelling Processes Skills Concepts Numerical Algebraic Geometrical Statistical Probabilistic Analytical

  4. C A M P S In short …. oncepts ttitudes etacognition rocesses kills

  5. PL P5/P6 Math Programme • Math Olympiad Training • A* Booklets • Noteworthy Questions • Challenge Problem Sets • Process Skills Booklets • www.problemsums.com

  6. Use of Calculators at P5 & P6 • AIMS • Widen the repertoire of teaching and learning approaches to include investigations and problems in authentic situations

  7. Use of Calculators at P5 & P6 • AIMS • Achieve a better balance between the emphasis on computational skills and problem solving skills

  8. Use of Calculators at P5 & P6 • AIMS • Help students to develop greater confidence in doing mathematics, particularly those with difficulty learning the subject

  9. Students’ basic computational skills may be weakened • Concepts must be taught well first before the use of calculators • Remind pupils that basic computational skills are still important as it is required in Paper 1 Concerns Good Practices

  10. Concerns Good Practices • Pupils are not able to decide when to use the calculator • Make use of the calculator symbol as a guide

  11. Concerns Good Practices • Pupils tend to leave out the working steps leading to their final answers • Cultivate the habit of writing working steps in daily work as method marks are awarded for correct steps shown

  12. Assessment in PL 100% 30% 100% 70%

  13. PSLE MATHEMATICS FORMAT since 2010

  14. PSLE MATHEMATICS FORMAT since 2010 • Note : • Both papers will be scheduled on the same day with a break between the two papers. • Paper 1 comprises two booklets. The use of calculators is NOT allowed. • Paper 2 comprises one booklet. The use of calculators is allowed.

  15. Estimated Time for doing Paper 1 (Use of Calculator is NOT allowed) Multiple Choice (Booklet A) 1-mark questions: 10 questions x 1 min = 10 min 2-mark questions: 5 questions x 2 min = 10 min Short Answer (Booklet B) 1-mark questions: 10 questions x 1 min = 10 min 2-mark questions: 5 questions x 2 min = 10 min Checking : 10 min Total time = 50 min 15

  16. Estimated Time for doing Paper 2 (Use of Calculator is allowed) Short-Answer 2-mark questions: 5 questions x 2 min = 10 min Structured and Long-Answer 3-mark, 4-mark, 5-mark questions : 13 questions x 6 min = 78 min Checking : 12 min Total time = 100 min (1h 40min)

  17. PSLE FOUNDATION MATHEMATICS FORMAT since 2010 • Notes • Both papers will be scheduled on the same day with a break between • the two papers. • 2. Paper 1 comprises two booklets. The use of calculators is NOT allowed. • 3. Paper 2 comprises one booklet. The use of calculators is allowed.

  18. Estimated Time for doing Paper 1 (Use of Calculator is NOT allowed) Multiple Choice (Booklet A) 1-mark questions: 10 questions x 1 min = 10 min 2-mark questions: 10 questions x 2 min = 20 min Short Answer (Booklet B) 2-mark questions: 10 questions x 2 min = 20 min Checking : 10 min Total time = 60 min

  19. Estimated Time for doing Paper 2 (Use of Calculator is allowed) Short-Answer 2-mark questions: 10 questions x 2 min = 20 min Structured and Long-Answer 3-mark, 4-mark, 5-mark questions : 8 questions x 5 min = 40 min Checking : 15 min Total time = 75 min (1h 15 min) 19

  20. Getting Prepared • Day of PPs/SAs/PSLE • Have a good breakfast • Avoid solving Mathematics questions • Enjoy the paper – take it as a challenge

  21. Getting Prepared • Day of PPs/SAs/PSLE • Circle questions that she cannot solve in any examinations and move on to the next question • Complete the rest of the paper before returning to the question • Have CONFIDENCE in themselves!

  22. How to Help Your Child in Mathematics • C • A • R • P ultivating an Interest in Math ttitude egular monitoring ractice Makes Perfect

  23. Maximising Your Child’s Potential in PSLE Mathematics • Speaker : Dr Joseph Yeo • Date : 10 March 2012 (Saturday) • Time : 9.00 a.m. to 12.30 p.m. • Venue : PLMGS (Sec) School Hall
