When my boy was in P1 last year, he also had some issues with such qns. This year, he finally understood.Hi
Does anyone have difficulty in explaining before and after to a P1 kid?
According to my dd, the teacher says before = in front and afer = behind.
The problem will arise in the following example -
15 is comes before ____.
Her answer is 14 as 14 is in front of 15. We asked her to list the nos before and after 15 and position herself from thereon but the offchance she gets it correct is from quessing.
.
Is this type of questions common? My concern is that she would have problems with the positioning questions
Appreciate any suggestions. TIA -
I noticed my P2 boy does not do mental long subtraction by the right to left method. He uses the left to right method. Should I be concerned? No one in our family taught him the left to right method leh. Addition wise is right to left. Why subtraction left to right? I dared not ask him for fear I confuse him. Should I just left him as it is since at the moment, it seems to work well for him?

My boy has some issues with such qns when I introduce it to him in K2. Now at P1, he finally understood. -

Hi all
Im new here and sharing my 2cents worth
It is really very efficient to start young and if you can start at Nursery or Kindergardens and you’ll realise your child will be very good in numbers concept.
BTT he/she reaches P1, the child will not have problems in major questions. -

I agree with you. My sons have no problems with the Maths concepts, but I am wondering how do we tackle the problem of \"carelessness\"?Hi all

Hahahhaa...i guess many parents like you, like me share the same problem. I would like to think carelessness is a young's priviledge... i encounter them in all my 3 kids.
I guess they'll grow out of it as they realise the importance of quality checking not just surface checking.
What i did was i always remind him of what his common mistakes n carelessness are, effective or not its child to child, very subjective. -

I tried to do that with my sons as well, but effectiveness differs from time to time. It works now but may not work later. It is most frustrating when they come home with a almost perfect-score test/exam paper, with a minor careless mistake, while all the challenging sums are being answered perfectly! -
