Thank you ruohoo97


On a different note - to all posters.

My P4 DS (just started P4 here in the UK) is struggling on the P3 Challenging Maths (Sabdya Sundar EPH). Is this normal, I know it is a hard book, but should he not be on to the P4 book by now. Any advice appreciated.

Thanks

I thought ur boy can do one year advance with the help of tutoring. :?

I bought P4 book, I don't have P3 one.After reading ur post,I flipped through the book,I think now(as end of the year and do many problem sum qn in school) my son can do.but I never give any sum from this book.I kept this book aside as it consists of quite thinking qns.I tried some qn from Maths Olympaid by Terry Chew.My son didn't like to do.So I stopped.I only depend on Past year papers.My son doesn't have motivation or willingness to do challenging qns.He easily give up.

Hi smartmummy
DS does have tutoring but struggles with maths as he is prone to schoolboy errors. He also reads too quickly and misses the key information.
On a different not, I have the Terry Chew Maths Olypiad Books too. I flit between Challenging Maths P3 and Olympiad Beginner (9-10). Which book do you think is more stretching with higher order and novel problems?

Hi optimistforum,


I am an exam-oriented person. :oops: So I prefer Maths Olympiad as the qns coming for exams[usually one qn in section C].In MO they catergorised the qns, so it is easy to drill.In Sandhya Sundar,the qns mixed up,So we have to identify the qn first[more qns based on syllabus but more difficult than usual exam papers' qns,if the person willing to challenge then no harm to try otherwise is kill the person's interest in Maths].After doing MO then can try SS.JMHO.
