If the 6B is available, it'll be better. I believe this book is extending down from the very popular secondary series of assessment books, very thick and heavy books, but content packed.

My brother was over the moon as his son has improvement on his maths from SA1 - 59 marks (Grade C) to Prelim - 79 (Grade A) marks. His hard work with his son was pay off and hopefully my nephew can get an A* or High A in the next month PSLE. :lol:

Hi Brenda 10

I must say your nephew Maths exam has improved tremendously. Did your nephew join the speedmaths camp ?

No. Just practice more. Understand he still had the last 4 questions (19 marks) didn't know how to do despite he still had enough time left. Therefore my brother plans to drill him more on this area ( 4 & 5 marks questions). Hopefully he is able to solve those questions in the coming PSLE.

A* booklets - what’s the best time to start the kids on them ? Some of the topics like decimals and factions - the foundations are introduced in P4.

My nephew's school asked them to get it at P6 as a preparation for PSLE. I also get one set two weeks ago after Mr. James Ang had recommended for dd (P5) to try. I'm not maths expect but however I feel is better to understand the ratio and percentage topics while doing the fraction booklet. This is because I notice one of the questions in fraction booklet dd had actually solved it by ratio method. Therefore I guess by knowing more depth details on fraction and ratio (cover in P5A) and percentage (P5B) would help them to gain more exposures and hence can apply various strategies in solving the questions. Also a few questions in whole number booklet also involved average (P5B). Therefore I would think is still alright to start at P5 but end of the day is still up to individual’s choice.

The above are just my 2 cents thought and hope is useful. :lol:
