PSLE Maths - Advice needed!!

[oceandeep]

Dear von72, a friend recommended me Andrew Er's mathematics worksheets, (complied in a book) for P6, new syllabus, about $15.90 from popular. The questions are designed and arranged in increasing order of difficulty, and with worked solutions to those difficult questions. I find it quite good especially with the working given. I'm getting my girl to try the questions. You may want to check out this book.

Dear all,

I'm appealing for parents who's kids are taking PSLE this year or done with to share some light on how to cope.....my boy just had his SA1 results, he did fairly well on all his other 3 subjects all in band 2 but he failed his Maths!! Scoring only 47. With PSLE preliminary exams around the corner, what should i do to help him. He is currently having maths tuition on both syllabus and Maths Olympiad. I'm so helpless..... :?: :?:

Best is to set probably 10% tough questions and the rest must be level-appropriate.

Yes I agree with this. There is no need to set an overall difficult paper just to sieve out the top 10% of the cohort's bright sparks. It does not make sense to overly destroy confidence.

As a tutor,


I recommend Andrew Er too. All parents should grab theirs. If your child can cope with his questions, your child can score. I’ve done Andrew Er when I were in primary school. He has the key concept questions all in there.

Good luck parents!

This question has been bugging me for a long time - my youngest son is good in maths meaning he understands all the concepts and are able to do the sums....BUT he will lose many marks due to pure carelessness. Imagine, he can add or subtract wrongly! How can carelessness in maths be solved?


Thanks for suggestions.
