Types of Calculators Only calculators that are approved by the Singapore Examinations & Assessment Board (SEAB) will be allowed in the examination. The list of calculators is available on SEAB’s website: http://www.seab.gov.sg
Adherence on the use of Approved Calculators School will check and a sticker will be pasted onto your child’s approved calculator before examination. All unauthorised calculators will not be allowed into the examination room.
Awarding marks Method marks Marks given for correct method Marks will be given even if answers are wrong Answer marks Marks given for correct answers Marks will not be given if method used is incorrect
Show ALL workings Important Marks are awarded for correct method and working step even if the final answer is wrong .
Show ALL workings Example : 1 bus --- 30 passengers 4 buses – 30 x 4 (M1) = 120 passengers (Method mark (M1) is given for using the correct operation to find total number of passengers) 29 passengers alighted 120 – 29 (M1) = 109 passengers (Method mark (M1) is given for using the correct operation to find number of passengers remained on the buses) Answer: 109 passengers (A0) (Wrong answer, no answer mark is given)
Other Marks Deductions wrong Mathematical statement 1 bus = 30 passengers 20% = 100 20 + 1.20 = $1.40 Students are reminded to use “=” sign appropriately.
Other Marks Deductions Area of circle = 16 cm Omission of units or wrong use of units
Study Skills Mathematics is learned by DOING problems . Each topic/concept builds on the previous ones. When your child does his/her Mathematics problem or Mathematics homework, advise him/her to write out the complete solution as if they were taking a test or examination.
Mathematics Study Skills Problem Solving Strategies Draw a Diagram/Picture Drawing a Model Observing/Finding A Pattern Guess and Check Working Backwards Using Before and After concepts Systematic Listing Algebraic Method
Mathematics Study Skills Everyday Practice is very important. Your child MUST set aside at least 1 hour to do Mathematics daily. Advise your child to get sufficient sleep the night before the test/exam. They need to be mentally alert.
