Hi FantasyLandDreams, PiggyLalala, et al.,
2016 P4 (i.e. P1 in 2013) children r e 1st batch studying e NEW Maths syllabus; e OnSponge ones on promotion appear to be e OLD syllabus...

A quick comparison between e old & new textbook syllabuses - short of e chapters shuffling around, somewhat more in depth discussions of certain topics, e changes do not seem drastic. So if u have a recently old copy of OnSponge Conquer, u probably won't need to buy a newer version.

Otherwise e OnSponge Conquer series is fantastic - for one, Equal stage is well-explained. Money's Guess & Check is a good explication cum introduction to Assumption. OnSponge Essential is good for beginning users - a tad too straight-forward for experienced users.

More information on e new Maths syllabus.

About $60 per lesson. My DD has been with onsponge (kovan branch) since p4 and she is now p6. Besides worksheets, she was also working on the onsponge books. I find the teachers very helpful and my girl enjoy the lessons. They will provide a report on her learning progress every 6 months.

So expensive $60 / lesson?

Yup, not cheap :moneyflies: but, i think it is worth the investment. My DD results improved from 70s to 90s.
In P4 (gep), her teacher informed that her maths results is weaker than her peers. :gloomy: i was very surprised as her results was always in the high 90s.

My heart really pain when she cried because she could not do her maths homework

Hence, decded to send her to onsponge and maths hub. After a year, she told me that she only wanted to continue with onsponge. Her onsponge teacher help with her gep maths questions which we are not able to solve. Credit also goes to her school p5 maths teacher who was very encouraging. She stayed in during recess for the students to approach her if they have problems with their work.
