Roh96 6th Gear October 2, 2019 Share October 2, 2019 What we see in the report are 3 cited questions. We do not know the remaining 14 of 17 questions and their level of difficulty. If the front questions already exhausted their brain cells, the last question will seem like a final KO punch. Flat out. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hiphiphoray 6th Gear October 2, 2019 Share October 2, 2019 4 hours ago, Aloe111 said: All's not lost. Your son's answer is almost there, except that 1.53 is the discounted unit price. The regular unit price is 1.53/0.85 = 1.80. He should get partial marks for this qn. Sometimes an irregular answer is reason to recheck e.g. at primary school level, cost of simple goods is unlikely to be an odd number like 1.53. Assuming the question setter is conscientious. It's ok....he already put in effort. I wash my hands liao.....no more psle maths for me forever......hip hip hooray ka Chang but tay.........lolllll. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind30 Turbocharged October 3, 2019 Share October 3, 2019 (edited) On 10/1/2019 at 11:21 PM, Ender said: After seeing the 3 questions, Two of them is within the PSLE syllabus. i.e. if they have done their homework,and extra consistent hard work to practice should be able to tackle. The triangle, especially part C, that is difficult. I couldnt get that one too.. hahahaha.. The triangle is not hard lah... The first answer is obvious which is 250 times 250. The grey and white triangles ratio is not that tough. Even number of rows. You notice every two rows you get 2 extra grey triangles. So 250 rows is 250 extra grey triangles. It is really not that hard to see the pattern. I am going to test my P5 kid later I suspect she can do it. She took 15 minutes to solve the semi circle question.

You already mentioned you from gifted program. I would expect this type of pattern, sequence recognition comes easy for you. The part C, i really couldn't figure within the exam duration constriant. This type are considered math Olympiad type of question. It's not taught in school, but exams do throw in one of these question. I always tell my kids to put this type of question for last. ↡ Advertisement 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
