Fabian Ng's only has P2 onwards.

Andrew Er has at least 2 assessment books. The challenging one might not be suitable for a child who is weak in Maths. Not all qns have detailed workings on how the ans is derived. The other one has graded qns, I think 3 levels - drilling, etc, etc.

Hi all,


I heard from my colleague that her daughter's sch didn't use the Maths Homework Books that were listed in the booklist. Is it same for all schools? :?

I just discovered a new one for P1 maths:

http://www.p1math.com

Seems as good as http://www.problemsums.com.

My DD likes the format and question graphics of http://www.p1math.com. She also likes the free games in http://www.problemsums.com.

I'm glad to have discovered these 2 sites.

But i have problem creating an account as they stated they only work with schools... how?

Hi tankee! Long time no talk.

In the end:

Red: x - 218
Blue: x + 128

128 + 218 = 346
