Hi,


My son don't really know how to draw models to solve Maths question.. is there any good Maths assessment/ guide book or method which i can help him to on modelling method...

Hi Taurus,
Can also consider Fan-Math Heuristic & Model approach OR Fan-math Models as a tool. Both books are by Li Fanglan. I used them for my DD and she really enjoyed learning models with stickers which represents all the bars in model drawing.

Thks Tinkerbelle for ur recommendation

Hi champion,
Just curious, after going through all the assessment books, which one did you end up buying??

Hello,
I got Science P3/4 Lower Block for my gal - can't remember the title (as I was more concerned with the content in the book) .

Got a Chinese Assessment Book too for her - Yea, this one I can remember because I stood there like almost 20 minutes to read through every page :lol: 小三华文每课复习 - 怡学出版社. Author:陈岩. I like it as it has the 生字新词表.

For Chinese, I usually get 跟着课文走 as well as the 每课一练 强化练习, both by Victoria Publications. Understand 怡学 (learners) is not bad..will check out 生字新词表 you mentioned when there is 20% discount.

Hi plum-cake,

I’ve not bought a single Chinese assessment book for P2 yet. That is not so difficult…either EPH, Learners or Victoria. English is tougher.
If I want to spare myself from standing too long at Popular, I’ll just grab one of each from Conquer range.

Hi Janet,

Don feel like that. You have to compare the books and buy cos you know your child's weakness. don just buy because somebody reccomended it.

For Chinese, roughly I know what to get. But for English, I do agree with you that it's better to get 2 different titles - 'My Pals' for teaching purpose (pics and friendly fonts used can keep her attention) while Conquer for reinforcement. I do diff topic/subjects with her every night but will be more 'on' next year (P2).

Hi Plum-Cake,

My boy is in P1 this yr and I am having difficulty in teaching him, though I have assessment for English & Math but nothing for Chinese. Could you advice what should I do as my husband is not in favour of getting tutor for now although I have a good offer....... :?:

Tell me about P3...don't know if my daughter's interest will be like son. It was easier teaching him Science as he is interested although there are facts to remember and the tricky part is to know how to apply to the answers
But you wil have more reasons to step into Popular next year...Science assessment books are rather interesting
Forgot to tell you, the section on Science assessment/reference is exciting.
