Besides practise, I think it also help to expose the child to Practise on the Astar booklets by Learning Interactive, a series of 7 topical booklets. A number of top primary schools are using them as supplements for non routine sums. Only available at the shop at Bras Basah Complex, $21 per set including solutions. All our students are using them for prelims and PSLE preparation for non routine sums especially for those in paper 2 from question 12 to 18, easily over 30 marks of the entire Maths paper.

Hi James

Thank you for your valuable recommendation.

I will go and get one set for reference/practicing.

No problem, the Astar Maths booklets are famous, and popular with our students.

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.

James, do they have papers for p3 as well?[/quote]I strongly recommend FAN Maths assessment books - P1 to P6.
1) Topic by Topic
2) Iexcel - heuristics and models
3) CA/SA book
4) PSLE Prelims preparation.

HI all


i went to get the A* books immediately upon reading the recommendation by Mr Ang. problem is, is it too late now to get DS to do the questions and try to remember the specific methods to solve each type of questions? actually, ds feedback that he couldn't really remember how to solve the questions though he has came across some of them in the Ammiel Wan book during his prelims....
dh said by getting ds to do the A* books now will only confuse him more
