UNDERSTANDING KBAT CONCEPT IN OUR PRIMARY SYLLABUS


你知道什么是KBAT吗?
Do you know what KBAT stands for?

家长和教师们该如何引导孩子面对KBAT 上的问题呢?
How to guide your child to handle KBAT questions?

来我们的JSP假期营吧! 让您的孩子做好迎战KBAT 问题。
Let's come to our S2 Garden Avenue Primary School JSP Daycare and Tuition Centre!


One of the main purposes of applying KBAT in current primary examinations is to groom our students towards having critical and creative thinking, with the ability to communicate effectively at global stage. This in turn will enhance Malaysia’s competitiveness internationally. KBAT, in Bahasa Malaysia stands for Kemahiran Berfikir Aras Tinggi. KBAT is born from Taksonomi Bloom which has four main stages: applying, analysing, evaluating and creating. This is also known as higher order thinking skills.

With these skills, it’s hopefully that our students are able to make comparisons and identify cause and effects base on his or her own view. At a given questions, students are expected to provide answers in various forms, new ideas and look at different angles. This is to breed creativity and to encourage them to think out of the box.

A sample of KBAT questions could be : The fox looks at the delicious bunch of grapes and wants to savour them. The fox jumps and jumps but could not reach the grapes. If you’re the fox, what would you do?

As observed in the above question, creativity problem solving is the core of KBAT. A student has to put himself or herself in the fox’s shoes and related to life experience to provide a logic solution (answer).

Another sample of KBAT questions could be : If you are given a string of 24cm, what is the largest surface from the different types of rectangular can you come up with?

A student should use all possible numbers to make rectangular which perimeter equals to 24 cm. Then, he or she needs to calculate the largest surface through multiplying the length and width.

All possible rectangulars:



 Answer is 6 cm x 6 cm = 36 cm².

  • SMM™ Mental Arithmetic
SMM Mental Arithmetic taps the mental capabilities of your children to solve mathematical problems with superb speed and accuracy. The subject also teaches knowledge of abacus and skills to visualizing abacus in performing mathematical problem solving, thus stimulating the activities of both right and left brain:
o    Intensify student's ability to on mathematical calculation
o    Develop the usage of the right brain
o    Build up the confidence of students
o    Enhance their concentration.

"Through time and effective training, a new abacus user will eventually harness the natural power of imagination and visualisation of the abacus in their mind. At this stage, the beads are not physically manipulated by fingers in the calculation process, but driven by the power of visualisation in the brain." quoted from Pan Pacific Abacus and Mental Arithmetic Association Malaysia (Pama) president Ronnie Chong, Star Online 21st Sept 2015.
  • Our students have been consistently winning medals at our MRC State Level Competition every year.
