Maths Assessment Books

[optimistforum]

I would be interested in these books mentioned. We use EPH Challenging Maths by Sandya Sundar. These are a great suite of books that provide challrnging problems for

the MOE P1 to P6 Maths syllabus. What I would like but don’t have is a very good Maths IQ book. Any suggestions would be very much appreciated.

Hello Champion


Thanks, and I hope you are well.

I have the Terry Chew set of books, but I was never sure that they were labelled as IQ maths though. I say this as only one chapter in each of his books is called IQ maths.

Yes she does. It is easier if you introduce the names of the different methods - assumption method, internal transfer method etc.

can share with us which Maths assessment book(s) you use to let your child practise internal transfer method, assumption method ? Thank you.

I use mainly the onsponge book as it covers most of the stuff they need to know for that level. So far I haven't come across any questions in the OS book on assumption method though. My dd gets her practice on those in the exam papers. hth.

[24hr-mum]

assumption mthd can be found in:

math olympiad bk eg terry chew, on guess n chk questions
or andrew er or any math assessment bk on problem sum. its quite common.

for purely iq math, there’s a bk called Thinking Maths…
anyway iq math not syllabus related, no time to do unless u wanna go do olympiad math for dsa purposes
