Hi 24hr-mum,


Sharing what I can remember about Maths assessment books -

Have you tried Casco step-by-step and Andrew Er's worksheets? Both provide 3 different levels of progressive difficulty. However, do note that some questions in (Casco) Achieve section might be challenging. Can also check if Maths456.com suits your needs. It has 2 sections A & B. Section A focuses more on the basics while Section B contains mostly word problems. Some of the Longman books are also structured in a much less overwhelming format for kids. These should help in building a good foundation.

If you need more drills on word problems, try must know maths problems, maths456 (section B) & Fabian Ng.

The examples given in Onsponge books are great for picking up a few tricks about Models, Unitary Methods and Branching methods. For additional practices, try Challenging Maths Made Easy. However, the questions are not classified by levels and it seems to focus more on unitary methods. Parents will have to sieve out the relevant topics and questions. Ammiel Wan is the author of these books.

For heuristic or non-routine questions, can try Maths Olympiad. One (lower primary) school teacher recommended Casco Classroom IQ maths.

Afraid that's all I can share. My knowledge of maths assessment books has stopped accumulating since June last year. A little outdated... :oops:

Ps: I mentioned earlier on that my son tried Challenging Problems Made Easy. Just realised that was a mistake. Instead, the book he tried a few questions from was SAP's Exam Smart Maths Methods. I was pondering over some questions when he leaned near and found them interesting. Memory is failing me... sign of aging :slapshead:

Don't mention it.


Hi plum-cake,

The wide selection of assessment books used to be overwhelming for me too. Never thought buying assessment could be an art.

Happy bookfest shopping!

Thank you chamonix!

I saw casco step by step book at popular. I liked it and the Iq thing also. I will give it a try this time.

Can you tell me "Maths Olympiad" by which publisher?

[24hr-mum]

Glad that you like the books.

Maths Olympiad by Terry Chew (A5 version). But I'm not sure if the questions are really of Maths Olympiad standard. Some concepts appear frequently in normal assessment books. Maths Hub has released a publication for Primary 3 & 4. Available at Popular. Can take a look at that too. (I have yet to see the book.)

My Pals Math Enrichment - Good choice. Sorry, not so sure about the rest...

Dear mummies,


Yesterday i went to popular JP to search for shaping maths : maths builder assessment book for P2. But was disappointed as could not locate it.

Even the popular staff said that only P3 and above books only are available.
Anyone knows if the book for P2 is obselete or going to be reprinted?
