Do we need to use modelling to solve all math problem sums?

Hi junling,


Sorry, not too sure if you know but do you think JE1 PSLE Maths or Conceptmath is better for lower primary?

Thanks!

I use this book


The Singapore Model Method for Learning Mathematics was available from the Marshall Cavendish (http://smartt.wordpress.com/page/2/)

The book outlines the very basic types of model drawing - suitable for P1 and P2. Upper primary, the children can use these basic models to solve more difficult sums.

Bought the book from Popular.

Hi Maple leaf

Recently, i just attended a P1 math workshop organised by my son's school. They also recommend this book to us. At P1/P2 level, problem sums can be solved without model drawing but as they progress to P3/P4 or even P5/P6, they will find model drawing useful. It's quite easy to pick up, you may want to try learning them and teach your kid first?

I have a p4 and p1 child…


While I agree that many problem sums can be solved without model drawing, I would say that drawing models is a good habit … start from P1. Learn basics and then can practice.

Then when they go to upper primary - they already know how to make use of basic models to solve problem sums which are more complex.

Is this book still available at Popular, I went down the other day to the one at Bishan and could not find any.
