GEARING TOWARDS PSLE MATHS
A FOCUS ON APPLIED LEARNINGExample:
Meredith deposited $14 000 into a bank account which yields an annual interest of 2% at the beginning of 2019.
She did not withdraw or deposit any money, how much did Meredith have in the bank account at the end of 2019?
THE LOGIC-BASED QUESTIONExample:A class of students took part in a quiz.The average score of the class was 70 marks.The average score of the boys was 80 marks.
Place √ in the correct column in thetable to indicate whether the statementsare either (true, false or not possible to tell),based on the information given above.
Statement True FalseNot
possible to tell
All the boys scored over 75 marks.All the boys had lower scores than all the girls.
The average score of the girls is lower than 70.
The highest scorer in class was a boy.
ICT TOOLS• Student Learning Space (SLS) and KooBits

Types of Assessment in ESPSFormative Assessment (FA)Assessment that is carried out to provide timely feedback to adjust ongoingteaching and learning in order to improve students’ achievement of intendedlearning outcomes. Marks will not be awarded for such assessment and theydo not count towards the subject grade. Eg: Math Journal, Show & Tell etc.
Weighted Assessment (WA) Assessment for which marks attained count towards the subject grade. Eg: Mini Quiz, Practical Test etc.
Standardised Assessment Assessment that is carried out, scored and interpreted in a consistent mannerwithin the school. For example: SA1 and SA2.
