Hello chowon,
Thank you so much for your sharing; really appreciates much :hugs: :snuggles:

See that you have bought 3 different Maths assessment books from Just Ed - May I know how do you find them? Do the 3 books compliment each other?

:thankyou:

Hi Chowon,

just curious…saw most of the books are meant for P3.
But the A* … isn’t that meant for P5/6 and by far, I believe it’s one of the most challenging books around (based on feedback from DS). Or there’s a version for lower primary?

As for the Just Education, just sharing what I heard from one the promoters in the bookfest 2 yrs ago…they have different levels targeting different kids.
Can’t remember clearly…but think if go by easiest to most challenging…it’s something like tutor –> i-clinic –> magic –> creative. Perhaps those of you keen might want to verify to decide which is most suitable for your child.

I also wondering, same as you about the A*.
But she (Chowon) mentioned, she has been using it for the 2nd year. that means P2 is also available..

Champion I could not find the examaid in that A* book, is that the correct book?

Hi

Are you reffering to Score in A* Mathematics by ExamAid book publishers? If it is so, yes, it is also available for P2. Very curious to know which book is this

What I usually do is teach her in advance with the visible thinking book (I think moe should just replace the school textbook with this!) then let her do the Score A* book. It is somewhat drilling and it has qns on application skills. Next she will do the iMath book. She only needs to do distinction in math book when she has completed the topics in the revision pp. usually 3 topics in a rev. Love the million dollar qns as it is similar to what we get in exam. With the range of grasping the concept to challenging qns, your child will gain confidence when he or she is tackling her own exam. Hth.

Ps. The magic series is all problem sums.
