Hi mummies,

I walked into Popular last night...had some time after going to NTUC...so assessment book queen couldn't resist. Saw the new Math assessment book 'visible thinking in math'...avail in A and B. Fell in love :love: with it...now waiting for June 20% voucher to get it. Hopefully can get P6 by then...avail up to P4 now.
Written by Ammiel Wan and popular as it is by Marshall cavendish.

Hi Janet, i have also bought a copy for my gal who is in P3 this year. By chance on the 2nd week of school, my gal brought back a few sheets of Maths worksheet and said it was a \"impromptu\" test! I flip thru and search for \"clues\". Fair enough, saw the small print at the bottom of the page and quickly do a search in the net. The publisher told me that a brand new series published 2011 and only Big Bookshop has it.

I allow my gal to practice and her comments are that the questions are more challenging! But I don't push her to attempt all questions and only at her own speed.

This is my own sharing - hopes I am not posting in the \"wrong\" forum

No problems, you didn't post in the wrong thread
Wow, impromptu test so soon. My daughter in P1 has both EL and CL spelling 2moro...am I supposed to expect teachers to go at 4th gear from next Monday onwards ? :!:
Can you pls advise me the title of that Maths series avail only in Big Bookshop ?

Hi Janet,
I guess because it was a new published book that why at that time when I enquired with Marshall - it only available at Big Bookshop. Guess by now Popular should have got the books too.....

For my case, usually I will call the publisher and check with them the stock availiability. But usually most of the time I can get the books from Popular - as most parents fo :lol:

So the title is 'Visible thinking in Maths' by Ammiel Wan ?
I don't go to Big Bookshop...rather inconvenient...I frequent IMM more often though.

Big Bookshop is at Clementi Ave 3. I think there is a polyclinic there.

Not the same…Clementi Bookstore along the block with many coffee shops & Q & M dental…popular with tertiary students


Big Bookshop is like Popular, it’s at at the same building as NTUC, Polyclinic & Yamaha. Level 2 i think.

Yes I have seen the book outside. i didn dare to look inside cause the price is 8+ and 2 books to buy. and if I go through the pages then ..you know my weakness. my dd told me, she is having ca1 this time. But I only have 3 CA1 papers from 2010 pastpapers lot. so I thot of buying a ca & sa papers book/wbook to do revision.. did you buy any of thoes books?

Hi plum-cake,

My DD is also having CA1 this year. I haven't started doing past year papers with her yet. Will probably start after CNY. I haven't really shopped for CA & SA papers book yet. Thought of letting her finish some topics in her assessment books to consolidate first.

After that, I'll give DD the past year papers to ensure she can complete her exam paper within the stipulated time. Must train her in time management cos DD2 is a 'mo-jie'.

Hi plum-cake,

Sorry for the error

I went to Popular for a ''walk\"...not the park
Saw the 2 Maths assessment books and was taken aback by the price. $8.45 for each :shock: If I really want to get it, definitely will do so during 20% discount.

If you're planning to let daughter practice from past year papers, you can download from http://www.test-paper.info. I let my son do past year papers as a form of exposure, not revision.
