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.

For further information, those interested may contact onSponge at: [email protected] .

This ThinkingMath@onSponge resource comprises four print titles (listed below) and associated online components currently being finalized for access by print book users. Additional components are being prepared for registered onSponge.com community users.

Conquer Problem Sums for Primary 4

:hi5: :grphug: Yes, I wish there is ONE & ONLY Maths Book that I will get for DD1 and she will be :please: for that!


As I mentioned in my earlier post, the one that I must and will definitely get for my DD1 is the:-
Primary 4 Challenging Maths (New Syllabus) by Sandhya Sundar, publisher - EPH

Hi Mummies,
I won't dare to buy Sandhya Sundar and Dawn Tai...my daughter will be scared off Math completely...I am looking for that ONE AND ONLY assessment now - not too easy but not too challenging either. Not too much to ask for right ?

Hi, just browsing through the past pages as I am consolidating what books to get with the 20% sale now…we have tried both Dawn Tai and Sandhya Challenging Maths for P1….after doing the Dawn Tai one (which can be really tedious even for a 1 mark kind of MCQ…), the Sundhaya one seems relatively less tedious to plough through….I was kind of surprised because I thought the 2nd one is the more challenging one. But apparently what we bought was the new syllabus one (I got it around end April..), so not sure if they have downgraded the level of ‘difficulty’…??

Hi phtthp,

It is not about which one is better. First you must find out what is the knowledge level of the child in terms of basic or advance. Then you explore which books can help to further assist the child. Always get the basic concept right first. Hope this helps.
