Hi all,


My brother passed me a set of A*booklet (7 topics & 7 solutions) as his son didn’t use them at all because school gave too much homework. But my dd is only P3 next year so whoever wants to buy from me, do PM me. A set costs $21, I’m selling $20 with free normal post to your home.

Hi Kitty2


I spotted some answer is incorrect in A star series booklets while dd was doing in the past, So maybe u have to double check.

Hi, interestingly, I can't bring myself to make my children do the Fabian Ng and Andrew Er or the 4-in-1 challenging math books. I find such drills boring. When a child cannot solve slight variation of qn, it probably means he/she has not completely grasped the concept. When a child find some qns extremely difficult, it means he/she has not been exposed to difficult qns.

The 4-in-1 challenging math book is NOT challenging but just very tedious - requires the child to do many steps just to get the ans.

To be exposed to challenging qns, I think Math456.com qns from top sch good and also the A* series from Learning Interactive. I also subscribed Math Oasis for my children which they enjoy.

Careless mistakes can't be helped but I remember I was rather careless when younger but I'm also aware of my weakness and I had to remind myself - danger zone - tend to make careless mistakes and thus, take special effort to check those steps first b4 proceeding. I also made my kids check their Math paper by working backwards or use alternative mtd to solve, so as to confirm answers are correct.

If a child does not have enough time to check answers or complete the paper, it means the child needs more practice to solve in a faster pace. I don't believe in drilling - doing many qns of the same type. I believe in doing enough qns of the same type to get the speed and move on to the different variations and be exposed to challenging qns.

These are just my personal experience and preferences. Hope nobody will get offended

Now, PSLE is over, S1 posting is over too. While waiting for S1 posting result, can all parents share what had helped your child most in his/her PSLE?

Books? tuition? study habits? mental strength? or spiritual support?

Thanks

I think good study habit is very important. After sch, my daughter takes her meal, shower and then do work assigned by teachers, then do work assigned by me, can watch TV if prog is educational. We watch Gags,just for laugh. Gd way to destress. No computer games because it is addictive and is bad for the eyes. When she's really stressed, we play badminton. No tuition for her as I coach her in all subjects. Lots of assessment bks and past yr papers to practise.
In summary, positive attitude and desire to do well motivates her to get good results.
