[Hahaha.... altogether i bought 8 math assessment books for my DD2 .

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.

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!

I have an archive of books and assessment etc etc. And after this many years in primary school, i have learnt that there is only so much they can do.

I too have decided to go with 2/subject. I plan to lay out all resources available- children choose 1 and I choose one more (this will the tricky part!) and the rest will be free-cycled!

8x4 = 32 assessment books for 4 subjects. :lol:

I think for P6/PSLE level there are more than 1000 titles of Maths assessment books in the market place. Hope that no one gets more than 10 for their children.

I think the average number of assessment books required for preparing PSLE is about 5 each for Maths and Science.

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.

I recommend FAN Maths for building a good foundation in Maths.

Yes, thank you for bringing up that series. They are great for heuristic questions.

Instead of buying all at one go, I would most go for 2 books at a time. One for paper 1 and another for word problems. Once these are completed by mid year or even earlier (wishful thinking here ;)) then I'd go stock up.

What if your parent gave you free internet access time to any game you want to play (eg wolf team) and unlimited xbox time after you have finished your work?
And buy you game cards if you do well in your school work?
And let you do anything you want (except misbehaving) during the school holidays?

It still doesn't work with my ds. I tried - even with 1 assessment book. So it depends on the child too. Ok, maybe I have an exceptionally special one - dunno what kind of special. hahaha!!!
