Hi smartmummy,

No worries! Don be :scared: to visit the assessment books thread! :snuggles:

I admit I am very tempted whenever I am in Popular and in the assessment books section! I don insist my DD1 to do all those that I buy - usually I will run thru the book 1st in Popular, turn to the answer page and see how did the author answer to it. Only when I have screened thru and understand the concept then I will buy the book.

For Maths, I will usually attempt to the problem sums section myself first. DD1 is more \"co-operative\" to work on the MCQ section , so I will just randomly pick the problem sums for her to work on :evil: :evil:

Just my own sharing - for your reading pleasure.... :hi5:

:oops: hahaha....no perserverence lah just very tempted every time I see new assessment books in Popular Bookstore

This latest addition that I bought I am more interested in the problem sums and the method of presentation by the author. I don't like those one line answer type of assessment books and will NEVER buy those

My DD1 can work on the MCQ on her own and I will mark them either in the night or on weekends...But I have to emphasis is she does not do ALL the assessment books only random ones! I will only sit down to do those problem sums after I have run thru the questions and have the answers in mind.

Another way that I have learnt and am doing now - is for those Maths assessment books with problem sums only - I will copy the solutions from the answer sheets to the questions and after that study them myself. Only nearer to the exam times, I will pick up those challenging questions and re-type out for DD1 to work on. I find this method quite useful as I learn the various methods in answering Maths questions ( I am a slow worker so I need time to absorb )....

Just my own opinions to share with all... :grphug:

Hi Mummy Atan,

Hi sleepy,
You are not lazy lah - you are also a very hands-on mummy! :celebrate: :celebrate:

As I mentioned above, I am a slow learner so many a time I need to do a lot of \"practises\" myself before I can grasp the concept and teach DD1. Also those assessment books with my own handwritings, I can keep it and the syllabus will not change much so I can use them again for DD2 in 3 years' time

Hi Brenda,
Thanks for the encouragement! :hi5:

DD1 once told me, \" Mummy, some of my classmates went for tuition so they already know how to solve those problem sums. Can you teach me based on your understanding and your method? I will check with teacher whether your method is correct!\" This sure gives me the confidence & motivation to learn!
