      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:-)

        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

        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. šŸ˜“

                before moving on to onsponge, why not ask her to re-do the CA ppr but at her own pace...or double the time given? This is to find out if she's having problem in certain area or just plain careless or she could not perform when under pressure...etc.

                If she can get most correct, at least there will be some peace of mind. If not, u can at least find out where her weakness lies and help her or get the tutor to help her in those areas.

                    I have done some onsponge questions for Primary 5 before. Onsponge Matha is not suitable for average and below average students bcos the questions structured r quite difficult to do. And the model answers that they provided are sometimes more complicated to understand when it could be solved easier.

                    If you can, teach ur child a variety of methods to solve questions. Otherwise, engage a tutor. It is unfortunate that our educational system cannot be successful without external help, namely the TUTORS šŸ˜ž

                      You can, but not easy.

                        Yes, can! But needs to get a few assessment books to refer working solution for similar question when unable to solve questions from those pass year papers.
