Challenging Maths by Ammiel Wan - which grades?

[QuiteKSMum]

Hi CWC,


Challenging Maths Assmt Bk

Not sure whether you have this book : Problem Solving Processes in Mathematics by Fabian Ng (EPH). This Bk is all on problem sums. According to my son, who's q.strong in Maths, this Bk is challenging. We have the P6 Bk, q.sure there's an equivalent for P5. :celebrate:

Hi QuiteKSMum,
Thanks. Will take a look on my next Popular trip on Wed. May just jump ahead to get the P6 ..... cos son claims he already knows Ratio & Percentage/Circle/Speed.....only left with Algebra. In fact, he went ahead to start on the EPH PSLE Exam Yr 2006 - 2010 and has completed the section on numbers. Will mark and see how he fares.

Actually sometimes, I hope the neighbourhood school will set tougher papers cos' when kids score well, they may have a false impression and start getting complacent. But then, the weaker ones will be demoralised......sigh....no solution I guess. Maybe schools should have HIGHER Maths....ha ha.

By the way, just wanted to share this…


I had accidentally bought 2 PSLE Exam Questions Yr 2006 - 2010 recently.
#1. By EPH from Popular (White & Orange color).
#2. By Star Publishing (Purple with colourful numbers)

After comparing, realised quesitons are almost identical…however, the quality of the answers are miles apart. Pls don’t get one by Star Publishing…have already discovered 1 wrong answer.

Get EPH, it is definitely MUCH BETTER. The answers are explained in more details and in a little booklet…the other only has 2 pages with no explanation at all.

Thank you for sharing this info.

Hi QuiteKSMum,
Took my son to Popular just now.....got him to flip the PSP P6 - dunno if he really did look at the question, but he randomly looked at some and claim so-so. End up I din buy So sad, I was all ready to get another assessment book Looks like I'll wait a bit more before deciding.

Hi cwc,


Think your son std is really high - DS told me last yr that this bk was challenging...(\"queried\" him as could see many pages not done...). I'm actually not sure abt the Maths Olympiad std kind of qns ( son was selected in P5 but he chose to \"hide\" the info fm me - he didn't want to go to sch on Sat mornings!)... Actually I could pass you the bk ( still a lot undone) but you & I - one in East (Changi) & one in west (Jurong West)!

Maybe u could check with his T for recomm - surely T knows his std better?


:offtopic: Read abt your FIL/MIL \"ordeals\" in another thread, generally :udawoman: , know how difficult it is to clear after someone else's \"shitty\" mess ( even at times when I need to check DS's \"output\" nowadays - due to medical reasons, I am also squirmish, since many yrs had passed when he was dependent on us in this area...) :celebrate: :celebrate:

Very generous of you, thanks for the offer. But it's OK, I think I REALLY DO have enough As for son's std, not sure real or not lah....he sometimes YAYA papaya. Perhaps he just dun want another assessment book?!?! Think I still have time....let him do all the others eg. onSponge, Creative, PSLE, A*, Challenging....then decide.
Anyway, DH also 下圣旨 ：Enough MATHS. Work on his other poorer subjects AND I dun want a mini-Popular at home :oops:

Good idea, should check with school teacher....but probably will tell me he's good enough.....esp. school already using A* and Challenging. (Or maybe, it's really enough i need to let go)

Oh, hope your son is ok.
For son, still more willing....but FIL...sigh. Ok, that's the past, it's OVER Actually, the nurses/maids who have to do such jobs daily also poor thing.
