do u hv this fear that if the child doesnt do well in math sa its becos u didnt gv tuition cos u teach him or her ursf? i m no expert in math but i m thinkg of teaching myslf to identify my girl's specific weakness that no tutor can address
I never think of that way,but my DH always thinks and telling me.Sometimes make me think that way.But I know some parents Teach their kids upto PSLE and got good results.My son hates to go tuition.He has no problem in understanding,the problem is carefulness.That I need to work out.School going to start soon.I think parents are the best Teacher of their kids.So do our part confidently.Good luck 24hr_mum!
I like problem solving. -
If you can teach your dd, that is the best because it is your own kid, you will really analyse her mistakes and give her the best but for me, I am too impatient so I outsource

even if i try, my brain is unable to analyse P4 math. and because it is so, i was pretty frustrated when he gets questions wrong and i have to try to decipher where are the mistakes (luckily husband said he'll take over) :oops:
so i prefer assessment books with worked examples so the boy can analyse by himself; else i shove the question/worked examples to my husband; else i post here.

Have any parents sent their kids for Math/Science tuition at The Study Solution in Bishan? It is a subsidiary of the Morris Allen Study Centres. It was known as The Maths Solution (2005) but was renamed The Study Solution to reflect the additional Science programme that the centres offer. Appreciate any feed/comments. Thanks!

if we get a good math assessment bk n work hard, is it poss to skip tuition and teach p4 math ourself? p5 then go tuition??
Yes possible, even all the way to P6. For questions you don't know, can always rely on forum's support. -
my gal got jus 65 for math ca but i m stil hesitant to add tuitn cos i think its her own carelessness. not sure if i m on the right track

65 at p4 level is very risky. Pls get help soon.
Buy P4 onsponge guide book online. And also Fan maths heuristics
Process skills from popular. Buy the p5 version of Fan maths.
It is similar to p4 onsponge. And schools like to test advance.
No harm letting her do p5 problem sums.
Hope this helps:-) -

have you seen her paper? if so, you should know if it is carelessness or not by retesting her with changed figures.
i thought my boy's workbook's rounding figures exercises were carelessness until i probe further by giving him more similar exercises and he made the same mistake. then found out it is concept problem. -

My son got 67 for CA2 in P3 due to careless mistakes.Then in Sa2 he got 78.This CA1 I didn't hope at all.cos always he lose marks due to careless.And some more he struggled with model (internal transfer).I just pray for pass mark to go to standard course.But suprisingly he did well for CA1.This time he listened to me.I told him do slowly u should have enough time.Don't get panic.copy the numbers correctly.I told him 15 marks u lost in P3 CA1.Is it fair to lose?Now he become a bit matured and think.Previously he can't accept whatever I said.Last year I just devastated with his poor marks.But my hope was he understood maths,it is not difficult for him.Need a proper practise.So I started early but like rabbit I slept long days,after woke up, very rushingly to finish the rivision.That time only my son woke up and said we have to start early rivision.But again go back to sleep.65 at p4 level is very risky. Pls get help soon.
