It's you again.. Haha.. I gue...Hey Mathtuition! It's you again.. Haha.. I guess you are out to spot for math entries huh? That said, I was discussing with a friend.. and my point was And how do u solve for ?. Do you take 8-3 to get the answer still or you based it on mental sum that ? is 5. If you are solving it with the latter then, we are expecting a P1 child to know their mental sums very well. And if so, we are also saying then that the child should just use mental sums and forget about the working. If you are telling the former then, my question is why is there only 1 step to the solution and isn't it the same as taking 8-3 from the start? <br />The starting point of it is not my concern. The way it is presented is. <br />My grouse is that just because it's from the publisher (which is approved by MOE) and/or written by a few professors doesn't make it a sensible (i.e. something that makes sense to a 7 year old) question. I can enjoy the complexity of it as an adult. But as a parent, no. <br />That said, I don't think skipping a step when presenting the solution makes the question more challenging, but it makes the solution more confusing to the child. But thanks for agreeing with me that it was an unnecessary confusion. Though the school has made it clear that with such working, they will still accept it as right….

They are trying to trick students who add 5+13=18 upon seeing the word "more" without thinking.<br /><br />During my time as a student, there was a popular cheap trick set by teachers: Tom has 3 times more stickers than Peter, actually means Tom has 4 times as many stickers as Peter. They have stopped setting such trick questions though, which is a good thing as it doesn't test concepts while confusing the student unnecessarily.<br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959627159908271066.post-16794437512412907862015-03-20T20:51:43.938-07:002015-03-20T20:51:43.938-07:00Thanks! 5000+ views a day for your blog is very im...Thanks! 5000+ views a day for your blog is very impressive, and not easy to achieve. Congratulations!<br />I have written a short guide on how to avoid Careless Mistakes at: http://mathtuition88.com/2013/05/05/how-to-avoid-careless-mistakes-for-maths/<br />Some tips are psychological in nature, like when faced with a 5 mark question, if students get the answer in one or two steps (happens really often), something may not be right. Also, neat and tidy handwriting is a major factor all the way from Primary level to JC. Hope it helps!<br />I also have a free Math newsletter (http://mathtuition88.com/free-newsletter/) which you are welcome to subscribe to.

I don't expect everyone to leave a positive note or provide encouragement. That said, this sharing wasn't as well to gather affirmation of what I was doing as a parent was right/wrong. All i intended to do for this sharing is to provide an instance where we have overlooked our child. While you may be the fortunate few who have figured things out from day 1… not many people have that idea or role model to follow. If they found it useful and helpful, it has already helped a learning parent, me included. <br /><br />That said. I asked which is worse because while i know one is ability, the other is essentially attitude. Which is harder to unlearn, unless there's a desire to do so. And my experience as a teacher has shown me enough when society is more forgiving to people with different ability rather than bad attitude.<br /><br />To conclude, just because i choose to highlight this incident doesn't mean there aren't times when I laugh and play and have tender moments with her…. :) <br /><br />Enjoy your week ahead.. :)Chellespeakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961106731929967248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959627159908271066.post-24794106645749717102015-03-15T09:19:57.658-07:002015-03-15T09:19:57.658-07:00This was quite an eye-opening read for me, though ...This was quite an eye-opening read for me, though I'm afraid not in a pleasant way. It left a sour feeling in me, and I feel as if such actions would lead to an undesirable parent-child relationship, in a general sense, or breed an undesirable mentality developed by the child as she matures. Now, of course they say there’s no single ‘right’ way to bring up a child, but do I feel that you really could have thought through things a little before saying such harsh words. I do notice that in the end you realised that you admitted to be at fault and apologized, but the damage has nonetheless been done. It’s a bit like somebody giving you a cut on your finger and then hastily putting a band-aid on it—it still hurts underneath.<br /><br />In short, I doubt I would adopt this sort of parenting style for my children, and would instead turn more to positive reinforcement methods. In fact, I'm a little surprised to be have met someone that does so in this day and age, and thus, the eye-opener. Thank you for sharing this.<br /><br />>>(I'm not sure which is worse… to do badly because of carelessness or because they are clueless)<br /><br />Well, it is most certainly worse to do badly because of cluelessness, because cluelessness implies problems with the method of thinking, whilst carelessness does not. One takes more effort to rectify than the other, they both amount to the same marks given in a test. You, as a teacher of all people, should be aware of this.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959627159908271066.post-53328622643262155522015-03-15T01:45:32.009-07:002015-03-15T01:45:32.009-07:00:):)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959627159908271066.post-88430376949133650372015-03-14T21:47:46.402-07:002015-03-14T21:47:46.402-07:00Haha… but even with your way of questioning, anon...Haha… but even with your way of questioning, anonymous would still answer as 7… Because an egg, whether broken or not, remains an egg. :)Chellespeakshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961106731929967248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2959627159908271066.post-7948336295201351832015-03-14T21:33:10.333-07:002015-03-14T21:33:10.333-07:00I totally agree.
