Hi tankee! Long time no talk.

In the end:

Red: x - 218
Blue: x + 128

128 + 218 = 346

You are not alone...

Yes, I find it hard to teach as I do not understand the model method.
Any tips on how to learn this or do so?

Hi,
My DD and I find Fan-Math i-Excel (Heuristic and Model Approach) useful. It's a series of books for P1-P6. It covers some common heuristic (non-routine) questions and models. The P1 book even provides stickers for beginners to better visualise the models.

Fan-Math also has a set of assessment book cum CD-Rom (Model as a tool) for P2 aqnd P3. It's an interactive lesson that kids and adults would enjoy. Maybe you can go to their website and try their demo. Cost is $88 (promo price) for 12 month subsription. Works out to be about $7.33 per month... :lol: However, it's coming to year end so I don't know if they can pro-rate.
The website is http://www.fan-learning.com.sg[/quote]Hi,

Where can i find the Fan Math i-Excel (Heuristic and Model Approach) P1-P6? From Popular?
