Callie,


You have PM.

Hi,


I think that nowadays Kids needed to expose to the early Math foundation else when they enter Primary school. They will have hard time to learn and become probia with the subject.

FOr my kids, i actually also exposed them to the enrichment class where my point of view, I find it is necessary. But of course, this may vary among the kids.

1. Bernice and Susan had and equal number of hairclips. When Bernice gave Susan 56 hairclips, Susan had 5 times as many hairclips as Bernice. How many hairclips did Susan have after that?


2. When Franz gave 342 stamps to Gabriel, Gabriel had 7 times as many stamps as what Franz had left. If they had an equal number of stamps at first, how many stamps did Gabriel have in the end?

Kindly teach me how to draw model for these 2 qns.

Thanks for the kind help

Hi parents of P1,


How are your child copying in math P1? Last night my girl told me she can't finish her math task and she is the last one to submit the paper. Hai so stress even in P1 nowadays.

Is it time to send her for math class? :idea:

Some of the concepts that they have to grasp for addition/subtraction are not simple so I wouldn't worry too much at this stage unless she really doesn't understand anything.

I picked up on some homework questions a few weeks ago that my daughter couldn't do on her own and emailed the teacher to let her know. She called me back to say that she had realised a lot of them didn't understand so she would review it with them again.

I would suggest checking with the teacher first before starting on the tuition route.

These are more P3 questions.
P1 no models. P2 simple models. Having said this, some schools may teach ahead, like neighborhood ones. This is just generalization.
