Maths Assessment Books

Laurenwkids:

Any Math assessment books out there that are the difficulty level of onsponge? I want to get more challenging stuff to try to stretch my kid but so far cannot find any.

Hi,

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

Thank you! I will go look for it:)

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] .

Resource components
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 3
Conquer Problem Sums for Primary 4
Conquer Problem Sums for Primary 5
Conquer Problem Sums for Primary 6

: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’…??

Can anyone recommend good assessment books for P5 on percentage besides onsponge books? My ds needs much more practise on this topic.
