P2 Math - General Discussion

[janet88]

Hi Tinkerbelle,

I would like to be plum-cake's neighbour too spend a bomb on kids' assessment books every year. Very scary.

Teachers@work and SAP series for English is good...I get Grammar, Vocab and Comprehension. As for Casco, I get the grammar cloze/vocab cloze/comprehension cloze.

Son is no pro in models...started late, only at P3. That's why a teacher-friend advised me to start daughter in P1. The earlier she starts, the more familar she is with models and can use it to solve any problem.

Hi Brenda/plum-cake,

I was on a buying frenzy last year with son’s Science & Eng compo reference books. Hubby banned me from going to Popular as I was rather stressed with kids’ work since school reopened.

Wow I look at the prices I headache! At this moment I have already spent almost $100 on all the assessment books!! But it seems like still got many good ones I havent bought....

:rotflmao: :rotflmao: There will always be new assessment books out everytime you think you've bought most of it...very hard to keep up. we must control ourselves.... Only get new ones when your DD has finished the ones you bought earlier. Otherwise, you'll end up with unused assessment books end of P1. That's what happened to me with DD1...Being my 1st child, I got carried away..keke.

Yes, I make an effort to give some homework for my girl everyday before and after school. If not, all assessments will be wasted.
