[quote=\"iLoveChubby\"]Champion & Janet, you gals really act :siam: !!....

I was also v tempted to buy that book yday but thinking the no. of untouched assessmt bks i have at home, i kinda hesitated....
The book looks rather \"friendly\" and \"manageable\" as compared to Fabian Ng series, which seems to be pitched at a slightly higher level. (mother777 - u agreed?)
Moreover the pink cover looks so ATTRACTIVE!!.... :rotflmao:

SAHM_TAN - I thk they have all levels.

Well I let my daughter do the Fabian ng after she attempted the more easier assessment book.

I explain the example to her, after that so far she is able to follow n do the questions.. So far so good

I find the challenging Mathis by sandhya sundar more tough.. It's the last book my DD touches :siam: she does not like it much

Hi mother777!
I hv the Challenging 4-in-1 by Dawn Tai.. it is abit tough for my DS, he has many blanks at his 1st attempt.. so i bought Distinction in Maths by JUST, which he could managed q well.

I guess s'times I tend to overestimate my DS by buying \"difficult\" assessmt books for him, only to find many incomplete questions/errors in them.
I used to feel \"unbalanced\" if i accidentally bought assessment books which turn out easy or managable... :siao:

But i failed to realise I hv to pitch it as his level and slowly help to \"bring it up\" but not just expect him to \"jump\" to a level that i want him to.
So now i am also doing what you are doing, let him attempt the easy assessmt bks, build up his confidence abit before I help him with the difficult ones.[/quote]yes agree, I also faced the same issue with my DD when she was in P1. But learned from my own mistakes when saw her struggling and getting scared of maths..

it takes time and bit of hardwork for parents also to come up with a style which suits our kids :idea:

just hope our kids do well :xedfingers:

phtthp:

saw the new P1 Maths book orange color on Model and problem sums, by Yee Fook Shiong, at Popular Marine Parade branch yesterday. just came in. cover very nice and attractive.


i flip through P1 Challenging Maths, by Sandhya Sundar. Content looks chim, quickly put it down. :nailbite:

Used to get Fabian Ng's PSP but thickness is scary. Went to Popular yest to check out new stuff :evil: Bought Casco Step by Step by chance and found that it is not bad in terms of building confidence.
So the 3 NOs are:
*Dawn Tai's Challenging Math
*Sandhya Sundar
*Fabian Ng

[iLoveChubby]

I still succumb to the temptation...bought the MUST KNOW MATHS just now!!... :please:

mother777 - the answer sheet for this book provides worked solutions and model methods, q unlike Fabian Ng who provides only the answers.
I guess i will start with this book first and Fabian ..hmm.. later... :skeptical:

janet_888 - hv to agree with you those books are probably for kids who really LOVES challenges... .... for my kid, he better buck up his basics first...

I didn't know the 'challenging math' assessment is that challenging...bcos I don't coach my kids in math :oops: hubby told me NO more challenging titles when my son was in P3. I stick to those titles which build confidence for my younger one now...namely Visible Thinking, Shaping Math and step by step (casco).
