Just practise n practise. I used to do my ten years series like 3 times before any major exams.Even now , if u look at children who score well, they practise many problem sums until they are able to know what method to use for diff types of question.Some r able to visualize the model in their mind they do not need to draw them at all.Interesting thing is many children spend so much time drawing model as their teacher require them to look like a piece of art work, using ruler and all.Just make sure the model is big enough to fit in information and for resizing, should not take more than a minute.[uote=\"kitty2\"]spunky:I failed maths in p6 sa1. By PSLE I also scored an A*.From then on, maths for o,a level n uni, all A.So don't give up .atutor2001:[quote=\"kitty2\"]Sorry to bring up this topic again .atutor2001,this's my friend's son problem and they've been wasting money on all the tutors.Most of them have no patient to teach or know how to handle him.My friend is in distress & helpless as he's already P5 and not much time left to brush up for P6.Anyone can help :? ,thanksHi Kitty2I agree with spunky's suggestions. Patience and doing our best to get improvement in his results to boost interest and confidence seems the only solution. Shower praise no matter how little the improvement may be (but not advisable to entice with material incentives). Tutor will not have the time needed to make such kids remember. Only parents can. So parents need to follow up on what has been thought by the teachers/tutors.There is also this funny thing, I called \"enlightenment\", which Chinese called \"kai qiao\" whereby the kid suddenly can understand all the concepts and most importantly can also remember them. Some kids found enlightenment pretty late - there is kid I know who \"see light\" in math only after SA1 in P6 - very worrisome for the parents. After that he was even aiming for A* after doing very well in Prelim.Just to share my experience.Regards[/quote]Spunky,Can you share how you did it?Thanks for sharing :celebrate:[/quote]
