New Mathematics Exam Format

Parents, please note the change in Mathematics Examination format.

Dear all,

As I explained in class today, there is a big transition from P4 to P5 paper format. The P5 examination format will follow your PSLE format to prepare you for next year.

==

Paper 1 - 50 minutes
Booklet A - 15 MCQs (Shade in OAS)
Booklet B - 15 Short answer questions
Note for Paper 1: No calculators allowed

Paper 2 - 1 h 40 minutes
18 questions (Word problems)
Note for Paper 2: Calculators allowed

==

The key to Paper 1 is to be fast, yet accurate. I will be helping you train your speed through speed sums practices in class, and a mock test before your actual Term test. Meanwhile, do hone up your calculation skills especially multiplication.

For paper 2, I will be doing Process Thinking skills practices to help you prepare for the word problems. We will also focus on problem solving skills during our enrichment classes.

Yours Sincerely,
Miss Chan
