Went Popular but not able to find this book...search their online website also don't have...anyone knows where to buy it or anyone with used copy for sale?

Many thanks!

Hi Sean wife,
If you visit the Jurong Point outlet, this book is not under the Maths Assessment Section - think it is under Primary School \"aided\" (can't remember the exact wordings ) section - near to the Chinese Book section. But recently, they have just re-shuffled and re-arranged the layout and seem to have move the assessment books \"inner\" also near to the Chinese Book area

Thanks Champion and SAHM_Tan,

I called Popular and found the book but only available and Bras Basah, so ask them to do a transfer...I also bought the bar Modeling book last week, but haven’t really studied it. Was browsing through and attempting those maths questions posed in the P3/P4/P5 threads...realised that even if I can solved those P5 threads, my solution looked so complicated compared to what is presented by the expert here. And I thinking drawing models can become quite fun after a while, but still trying to understand those equalizing fractions, ratios kind of thing...ah, my rusty mind....

BTW SAHM_Tan,

Is your 2007 DS still attending Jelic or has he switched to MPM? I am in 2 minds whether to let them finish up Jelic or switch to MPM....

Thanks!

Hi sean wife,


DS is still in Jelic. I will let him finish. He’s now in level 7, so by next yr he should complete level 8. He was able to solve some of his sis K2 MPM work. So I think at this stage Jelic is better for him.

eh, i thought jelic only has 7 levels in all? ya, i was also told that upon finishing level 7, usually can start with 2nd half K2 work.

There are only 7 levels har? I always thought there are 8 :rotflmao:


Anyway will let him finish all the boxes in level 7.

Hi,

You may wish to try Raffles Tough Maths Volume 6A and Volume 6B, available at Popular Book stores; just ask their staff.

For onsponge thinkingmath, is it more like a handbook that covers concepts or more like an assessment book for practice?

Key highlights of Conquer Problem Sums
As a series covering the levels of Primary 3 to 6, the books introduce strategies for more effective and efficient problem solving in the lower primary levels (ages 9-10) hence giving pupils a head start to the more challenging problems at upper primary (ages 11-12). Key constructs are used to assist pupils in getting a critical conceptual grasp of the problem before attempting to select a method (procedural step) to solve the problem. Each unit within a chapter highlights key terms to look out, provides tips to enhance understanding, and also lays out alternative approaches (see below) wherever possible.

In addition, the units are scaffolded to build children's confidence in problem solving and expose them to a variety of problems within a topic.
Along with more general content, the online space features a new ThinkingMath@onSponge forum to facilitate discussion and greater understanding about teaching problem sums solving in children. Users of the books are encouraged to register, share their experiences and post queries for the panel of developers.
