P2 Math - General Discussion

[janet88]

Hi plum-cake/Tinkerbelle,

I agree with you that Science is not an easy subject to pick up.
Although my son enjoyed Science and did well in P3, I would not dare say the same for my daughter…will get Conquer Science P1-2 when there is discount…I’ve bought the Conquer Science P5-6 for my son.

Shaping Maths is really not bad…will continue with it for P2 for weekly practice.

Plum-cake, you have Fan math, Fabian Ng, Visible Thinking, Andrew Er ??
I dare not get too many titles for P2, as hubby asked if there is time to finish this year’s P1 asssessment books.
But for son, I have Longman Maths Weekly, Shaping Maths for CA1, Step by Step for SA1 and Score in Math for SA2…and also Challenging Problems for weekly practice.

No the teacher 'ON', but the school is ON.
After hearing what my hubby told me about P1 having to learn Models, nothing is surprising to me now. It's like P3 brought forward to P1.

Hi plum-cake,

I hope the $$$ from Budget 2011 comes earlier...so that I can buy assessment books without waiting for 20%...spent quite a lot on son's Science reference last Dec..also need to replendish the Science assessment books for his SA1/2.

A number of forum mummies told me there isn't much time in P6, so I'm controlling not getting too many. Now that I've got Visible Thinking P6, should be sufficient

Hi plum-cake,

Just want to check with you regarding Maths456.
Is the title ‘Primary 2 Topic By Topic Mathematics Worksheets With Challenging Problems From Top Primary Schools’ by Tan B M ? If it is,
is this title meant for P2 level…and would you recommend this one or ‘Primary 2 Fan-Maths I-Excel Model As A Tool’ by Li Fanglan ?
