Primary 5 Decoding Open Ended Questions Masterclass:
“Gear Up in SMART Answering Strategies!”
P5 Decoding Open Ended Questions Masterclass: “Gear Up in SMART Answering Strategies” is a premier Primary 5 Answering Technique Workshop led by seasoned PSLE Science Specialist and experienced PSLE Marker Jayce Or, to help students decode Open Ended Science questions with specific emphasis on specific MOE Primary 3-5 Science curriculum.
Hi, my name is Jayce Or, and I am a PSLE Science Specialist. In my over 20 years of teaching in MOE schools and in tuition centers, I have seen more than a fair share of students and parents who feel discouraged in tackling Primary Science Paper – especially Open Ended Questions, with confidence.
Here are some core frustrations that you may be observing in your child’s papers for some time:
1. Your child cannot seem to answer according to what the question demands.
2. Your child tends to read the question and start writing out the answers immediately.
3. He/She fails to pick out the correct clues in the question.
4. He/She cannot write answers to satisfy the full awarding of marks.
5. He/She falls prey to poor answering techniques, weak representation of concepts and appear to be missing out key scientific vocabulary.
A Systematic Approach to Decoding PSLE Science
Over the years, I have developed the simple and proven PEAK™ Science Heuristics methodology that has helped many students unlock the tools for understanding and process questions at a glance.
This effective and proven heuristic framework equips the child to see clearly what the question demands and how to answer it.
It cuts through hours and hours of ineffective drilling and pounding through assessment books with no good effect.
The heuristic gives each child who learns it THE EDGE to answer science questions strategically and confidently.
This holiday, I am conducting another run of this P5 Science Masterclass “Gear Up in SMART Answering Strategies!” specifically to help P5 students sharpen and hone their answering techniques in approaching Open Ended Questions in Paper 2 of Primary Science.
Learn how to craft SMART SCIENCE ANSWERS!
S- Learn the difference between SCIENTIFIC answers and answers which miss out scientific concepts.
M– Learn the foundational METHODOLOGY and building blocks of answering Open Ended Questions.
A– Discover the ART of explaining your answers clearly and concisely.
R– REALISE how easy it is to find clues to meet the question requirements.
T– TRAIN yourself to minimize errors to achieve your targets.
In this 6 hour masterclass, the programme outline is as follows:
Part 1: Decoding SMART Science Techniques
- Nail the fundamentals in science answering techniques especially how to formulate SCIENTIFIC answers.
- Learn a systematic method of science heuristics that can help you to decode ANY science question.
- Be exposed to a range of essential question types commonly seen in P5 science papers and learn what to expect of them.
- Train your eye to spot important clues and question requirements in any exam paper.
Part 2: Writing SMART Science Answers
- Guided and targeted practice of SMART Science Techniques on questions classified according to different levels of difficulty.
- Receive expert feedback on answers and clear explanations on WHY answers can or cannot make the cut!
- Minimize pitfalls to incomplete answers that will lead to losing marks in the Science paper!
- Correct conceptual errors to improve on the accuracy of writing answers.
