Maths Assessment Books

[quote=\"optimistforum\"]Hi


I thought that I would share the details of a US A book on Proportional Reasoning Maths, and it is pitched at P6 to P8. It should be a fantastic grounding for the GEP Maths problems.

The link is below, and it has some pdf’s, one of which includes a sample question. I have bought it and I thoroughly recommend it. It is probably better than Terry Chew’s Maths Olympiad Books.

Wish to check if you have any good reasoning book to teach young child the best concept in terms of divisional fractions/multiplication fractions....the reason of the approach, dont know if the book you recommend covers such...I find this topic is hard for young child to comprehend....

Hi venushan


Yes it does, but what you want is well covered in teh EPH Step by Step Maths Series (P3 or P4, I guess)… The Proportional Reasoning book teaches equavalent fractions to in an interesting way, and has different grades fo questions for different abilities of students.

Thanks for quick reply. Yeah, what I want to know is the reasoning in applying divisional fractions and multiplying fractions to problem solving questions, not so much in the working procedures cause I think my daughter has no problem with working procedures but the underlying reason applying to the principle be it measurement model or partitive model.


For instance a child could do plus and minus, or big sums on division and times, but they may also have problems to apply the 4 mathematical skills to solve a thinking sum. I remembered I told her since young that multiple means plus the "same number" many times and vici versa to division. So I think I wish to adopt the same approach to her in this topic of divisional/multiplying fractions…(She is still young, yet young child learns pretty fast if we tell them rules and concepts and its application to real life).

I think what I need is pegagogical approach in this topic. Many thanks.

Has anyone tried the IQ Maths Lower Primary and IQ Maths Upper Primary - both by Sandhya Sundar. They are EPH publications. If yes, are they of any benefit?

Hi KSP

I am using onsponge for my gal... But she still did badly for her section c

dd grasp the concepts from onsponge and practice them on other school paper... understanding the questions and applying the right method in section c as well as the speed in completing them are important.... i guess there is no short cut for this and i'm adopting the practice make perfect method.....

but dd is still trying to perfect it ... there are still careless mistakes here and there ..... :slapshead: :stupid:

Hi

I agree with what you say the recent mock paper she lose a lot of marks from section c she learnt the concept before its just that when the question is being rephrase she don’t know how to apply the technique
