Hi, I bought these titles.


1. Visible thinking (2nd yr using)
2. A* math by Examaid (2nd yr using)
3. imath by Just education (2nd yr using)
4. Onsponge - as recommended by mommies here
5. Distinction in math (2nd yr using, I really like this as the qns set are based on top schools' exam qns)

I bought just's creative math to let my dd do as and when we have time.

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

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.

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.

I am also tempted to buy just edu books. But I am strictly telling myself NO NO NO. May be I finish at least half of the books, then I can consider.

There will be another 20% in June...mummies, don't buy so many books...finish SA1 and examine which area needs more attention...then get assessment books to reinforce/strengthen before CA2/SA2.
