Which branch is it?Why you said is good and how big is the class?I’m afraid if a kid is weak in Maths may not be able to cope with a big class.

Thanks for sharing

Assessment books doesn't do much use if the child does not understand the basic concept, or if the child is forced and is unwilling to do the subject.

IMHO, learning should be fun and not forced. One has to garner interest in mathematics, to love mathematics and not treat mathematics as a hated subject before one will improve and excel.

What level is your child ?
If your child is in p5/p6, having goals(such as dream schools) might have a big impact on their thinking.

The popular way for improving maths is to practice and practice a set of questions.

My friends and I have a popular way of redoing one set of questions that we got wrong over and over again until we could memorise the workings and concepts.

Hi Vanilla

Regarding memories the workings, I realize while working together with DD to solve some of the maths problem, even though I cannot understand the concept :? but I can memories the whole question and the steps of working. :lol:

I agreed some questions have got standard steps but there are some challenging questions that needs to have processing skills.


I find memorising steps is quite a chore.doing with real understanding and enjoying doing math probably will find math a fun learning subject.that is just one cent of my thought.

The most important thing is dd has to understand and enjoying doing maths. As for me, some of the concepts are quite difficult for me to understand.

Hi Brenda10


Totally agreed.
From pri one to four, to certain extend, math can still be memorised and attained 90s but not really in pri five in which certain processing skills kick in.

Practice makes perfect.

Besides practise, I think it also help to expose the child to different questions and particularly those "tricky" ones. There are certain methods of looking at those. Once the child is familiar with the "trick", they are able to solve it with confidence.
