Thanks for info.

May I know the step by step series is more for paper one or two?

Am using Andrew Er in addition to fabian Ng.

Did your child use Andrew Er as well?Any comments on his series of book.I believe there are three sets from him.Thnks

Step-by-step: I think more for Paper 1.

I started buying Andrew Er's 'Math worksheets' (the really thick one!) only this year. Which remains unfinished and will be used for revision til PSLE

I believe his books are for HA students or at least after the child has some foundation in the topic. Great practice for exam too; definitely not at the beginning stage of learning a new topic (unless, as I had mentioned earlier, its a HA child This is just my opinion after perusing many assessment books.

Hi


My ds1 will be in P5 next yr too. I’ve been guiding him in Maths on my own. As the P5 exam format will be more challenging, I am still wondering if I should place him on for tuition.

Can anyone advise if by doing the more challenging Maths questions at home, will that be sufficient ?

Thanks!

My dd will be in p5 too.


She is careless. I don't know how she is going to survive well in 2010. Anyway, we have yet to buy any accessment books because over-piling of work is not the best solution.

I am sure the teachers will recommend some assessment books and we will probably wait till then.

I heard of the assessment books by Fabian something. What is the exact title of this highly recommended Maths assessment book, so that I can be on the look-out during my next trip to Popular?

TIA.

'Problem-solving Processes In Mathematics' - usually in 5A, 5B parts. I have old editions so I am not sure if the new editions are any different.

I agree about over-piling of work. Since I have so many old books/ exam papers etc no assessment books except maybe for science and MT.
And it will be a very busy year for them. I dont intend to add any more load than necessary

I like the MA assessment book by Fabian Ng (my personal preference). I have both the P5 & P6 for my DS.


I also tried it out myself, quite challenging.

FYI, I bought the PSP for P5 just recently - the new edition is just 1 book.

Yeah, one thick heavy book!
Hahaha.... altogether i bought 8 math assessment books for my DD2 who will be P5 next year.
DD2 very sensitive, cannot afford to drop too much, or will get discouraged.

Wow... 8 Maths assessment books !!! How to make time to do all 8 ? I only bought 2 and I am already thinking whether it is too much or not.

... Another note I would like to add- in addition to the complex topics in P5, it is vital that the children have solid foundations in fractions and decimals.....

Great advice!!! Thanks for sharing !

I am in the camp of avoid-over-piling. The kid still has the other 3 subjects so I keep it to 1 assessment book per subject, maybe more for MT but we still often end up with undone sections/pages.

I have cut down to two assessment book for p5 as too many cannot finish, in addition to past years school papers…


What about science?Anyone has got great book to advise ?

Actually, not much.
It is for the whole year.
Everyday do a few pages, can finish.
My kids incentive is that after they have finished their work, they have free usage of xbox and computer. So they finish up quite quickly. Of course cannot have too many wrong, or they will lose their time playing!
