I will be returning the pupils' first review today. I've gone through the corrections with the children. Do look through their mistakes again at home. Something about Math corrections was posted before. It's recommended that the commonly-made mistakes be emphasised at home so that children are less likely to lose marks due to this reason. Quite a number of children made a mistake in Question 2. I've highlighted about this before here.
Some children wrote this in their review paper for Question 1. This is a good habit as they are sorting the cubes in hundreds, tens and ones. So, the answer is 300 + 10 + 6 = 316.
In every review paper, there will be at least one question on non-routine problem such as Question 11. Most children are stumped by such questions. Perhaps you have assessment books in mind now... Drill and practise shouldn't be the only way for children to gain exposure to such questions. We should work towards to have them learn the concepts and make them explain their thoughts in solving the problems. Cultivate the love of solving non-routine questions just like how we do puzzles for leisure.
