Dear Parents,
I would like to inform every that there will be a problem based task coming up in week 9. It would coincide with the upper primary CA (P5 & 6). The grades of this test will not be considered in the report card but just as a gauge of pupils' progress where problems based tasks is concern.
We will do a practice paper with pupils in week 8. ( the questions are from last year's test). For this coming test in week 9, pupils will not be allowed to bring the paper home but instead a copy of the rubrics which requires parents' signature will be given. The reason being that we might want to re-generate or modify the questions again. However if parents do wish to see the paper, please feel free to make an appointment with me. I would like to inform parents that they are only allowed to see the paper.
Please reinforce the following ideas which I have shared with the pupils in class.
1) Pupils are to do question by question as the questions are related to one another. E.g. they cannot do part C without getting the answer in part B.
2) There will be questions whereby there are more than one answers.
3) Unlike normal questions, problem based tasked usually has questions bounded by a few constrains. As such pupils have to consider ALL constrains carefully
Please feel free to clarify any doubts with me. Thank you.
