Hi Janet & Plum Cake,

Yes, me too has to be selective too! :hi5:

Will definitely get the onsponge one + maybe one or two for weekly peactise :evil:

Am contemplating to outsorce For Maths tuition :moneyflies: :moneyflies:

Hi sista,

I had bought one book \"Focus on maths\" (will check the exact title for you) during end of P5 and DD self study for some P6 new topics as this book help to guide her from basic to advance for the new topics that she hasn't learn.

As for the onsponge book, try to let your dd follow the sample given and see whether she can handle. Alternative is attending their year end or mid year workshop.

Sista feel pain with your money :moneyflies:



Just my 2 cents thought

Can we get the onsponge book from pop?I wonder is the 2010 P6 book the same as the 2011 book?


Thanks for sharing

Maths is difficult to outsource entirely though. Especially from P5 onwards, Maths become much tougher.


Nevertheless, dh said it's more manageable to coach this way. Rather than having 100% load on him to coach dd. We've onsponge & Ammiel's book. dh refers to these 2 books & selectively coach dd some concept.

I've outsourced son's Math completely...it's completely GREEK to hubby. Trying to arrange tuition for next year but was told P6 is very busy and to make things worse, tutor's schedule is fully packed.

As for Onsponge maths, that book was ordered by school teacher. Won't be buying any more assessment bcos he uses tutor's materials.

We probably have to upgrade to a better tuition center when dd goes higher level. Chose that void deck tuition center for convenience because within walking distance


Dh can coach but he is so inconsistent, can go for weeks without touching on Maths. Cannot wait for him.

Hi Janet,

Yes I might get that too for my P3,and visible thinking for the first term.
I have a problem this time. I saw Fabian Ng's P3 PSP book Its very thick. so might go for that new book . I have onsponge too. So I hope thats enough.

I think I will get that assessment for P2. Yes, Fabian Ng's PSP is super thick. Already bought 'visible thinking' and 'shaping maths'.

Son's math very weak...that's why switched to one-to-one.

The Shaping Maths is it the one by Marshall Cavendish? http://resource.marshallcavendish.com/mcdoc/console/DocumentDetail.aspx?viewType=catalogue&id=47522

Any good recommendations for heuristics ?? Thanks.

1. Process skills I-Excel Heuristic and Model Approach.

I found both of them are good, manage to do the Fan Math and some of the pages from 2nd one. I didn have a chance of buying other books under Heuristics....

Since there is time before the 20% discount, can you kindly advise if Process Skills I-Excel is recommended ? I don't know what kind of heuristics will be taught at P2...only know the number of legs kind of question.

My son will be in P6 and spending more time in school with his suppl...as P2 will have SA2 streaming, I figure I will have more time 1-to-1 with my daughter. Your recommendations will be of great help. Thanks in advance.[/quote]I liked the way i-excel has classified when it was newly published and DD used the i-excel in p3/p4 and she liked it. However for p5/p6 she felt not upto mark.
I bought it for DS but did not use it much since he is in P1 now. Intend to use it next year. he likes the sticker part.

Problem Solving I used for P1 and found it useful. Will likely buy it for P2.

What is your opinion of 'visible thinking' or 'shaping maths'?

Must decide so that can use the Book fair to buy. I would not want to use more than 2 assessment books so have to choose wisely. Dunno if that will be enough, but difficult to get DS to sit and do
