P5 Intensive Math Holiday Programme in June

Profile of Teacher: - A dedicated ex-Math HOD with more than 10 years of teaching experience. - Has taught the crème P6 classes for many years, producing stellar results. In 2011, 97.5% of the pupils from the top P6 class in a neighbourhood school achieved A* in Math. - Has conducted numerous workshops for parents in school. - Has also conducted sharing at cluster, zonal and national levels. - Second Upper Honours Bachelor in Business Administration - Postgraduate Diploma in Education from NIE - Alumna of Raffles Junior College and Raffles Girls' Secondary Details of P5 Math Holiday Programme: A total of 6 sessions 10 June (Sun) 9 am to 11 am 11 June (Mon) 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm 12 June (Tue) 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm 13 June (Wed) 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm 14 June (Thur) 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm 15 June (Fri) 4.30 pm to 6.30 pm Course Fees: $300 for 6 sessions Max group size: 8 to 10 pupils (Limited Vacancies) PSLE Trend: In addition to modelling, thinking skills and heuristics play a crucial role in solving the higher order questions in the PSLE Mathematics examination. These questions may not necessarily be found in just Section C! Increasingly, questions involving thinking skills such as identifying patterns / relationships and spatial visualisation, have surfaced. Data analysis is another important skill that the pupils need. Questions involving data analysis have increasingly been more applicable to real life situations (e.g. average questions). Objectives of P5 Math Holiday Programme: In this P5 Maths holiday programme, we aim to revise Semester 1 topics and extend the strategies taught to some Semester 2 topics. Important modelling concepts will be taught. However, modelling alone may be a limitation to the repertoire of strategies that your child can use. Algebraic manipulation will be taught in a clear and simplified tabulation method. This is to help your child solve challenging questions when modelling is not as straight forward. We will also be grouping certain topics together as the strategies used for these topics are essentially the same. At the end of the workshop, we hope that your child will not see Mathematics topics or questions in isolation. Many of the topics are interlinked. It is important to understand the strategies in Mathematics and identify the correct strategies to be used for each question. This is possible if pupils learn how to categorize the questions. Topics covered: Whole number Ratio Fraction Percentage Area of triangle (Visualization emphasis) Volume (Formula manipulation emphasis) Strategies used: Modelling BHA (Algebraic manipulation) Formula manipulation Systematic listing Guess-and-check Making supposition Working backwards Looking for patterns Registration If you are keen to enrol your child in the programme, please send me an sms (98736115) or email (serenagreenhouse@gmail.com). We will then contact you to finalise the details and make arrangement for you to go to the centre to make payment. Venue: Serena's Greenhouse Learning Centre Blk 501 Jurong West St 51 #03-263
