Which is more challenging? Get me thinking or Onsponge? Looking at some of the speed questions in get me thinking book gives me headaches

Hi, I prefer the OnSponge chapters to GetMeThinking, so I find GMT more challenging.

The MA national exams trend seems to deviate from OnSponge; hence I'd recommend A* star maths problems (learning interactive) instead, for children who are already scoring high A to A*/full marks. Otherwise, questions could be a headache. The pros of this book (jmo) is that it provides a good breadth of question types. Having said that, I still enjoy OnSponge cos it makes the Sec 1 MA syllabus breezy & explains Speed solutions clearly enough for me.

For my dds, we don’t revise during sch holi (actually we don’t revise much cos I believe more in spending time to pursue passion too).

Because I know once sch starts, pace would be hectic as sch will attempt to complete all syllabus by mid year. For P5 year end, we let them relax and recharge. They did the following in terms of priority:
- complete sch assigned holi hw (can be quite a lot)
- go for their Chinese tuition special class on oral and compo
- pick up a new sport
- active in cca and personal devt (like join holi activities like volunteering)
- do their own things

Our side time management rather bad I guess…during school term, difficult to sit down for revision. Before we knew it, exam is around the corner. Holiday is a breeze as we could camp at home…just walk around the house, no rushing, no tuition, no need stick to most routines…have time to play, rest and study…

December is Christmas mood festive season. Everywhere u go, in shopping centre, can see beautiful, lovely decorated tall, tall Christmas trees, carols being sung. It is a merry-making festive, celebrative season. And we can only enjoy this, only once a year.


December is also a busy holiday-merry making season, partying time. Whether take short break nearby or travel far overseas, it is time to wind down, relax.

Since we know what’s going to await us once 2019 January start, take this last month of the year count-down final 2 weeks, to wind down, before the crazy, hectic mad rush flow start, come 2019 Jan

hi Imp75,

can share what kind of holiday volunteering activities are good for P6 students, entering Secondary school education ? Thank you

[Imp75]

When younger they volunteered with Foodbank. Then boy brigade and NTUC share textbook project

For primary to secondary age children who can play portable musical instruments or sing Christmas carols, they can sign up with Salvation Army to help raise funds.


Some of my friends kids prepare a Christmas repertoire on violin/guitar to perform while another volunteer rings the bell and thanks the passers-by who donate at the collection point. U know those red Salvation Army collection tins at shopping malls during this season.

Hi parents ,


My son results dropped from SA1 to SA2.
Average drop per subject is 10 to 15 marks.
Whenever I sit down with him to do revisions he tend to fidget around not focusing as such we will end up unhappy.

Therefore I decided to outsource all to tuitions.

However seeing him having to go to so many tuitions , my heart ache. And of course I also not sure if this will work.

And I will also like to us if any of you have a good Math tutor to recommend in choa chu kang area.

TIA
