Hi can anyone advice how do I teach my son who is in P1 this year on multiplication for maths & han yu pin yin?

You can try this website :

Actually the Chinese teacher in primary 1 spends a lot of time teaching Hanyu Pinyin in the first half of the year, your child should be able to learn in class. All you have to do is practice with them using the website. Then get a P1 Chinese assessment book to practice writing hanyu pinyin will do.

Note that Chinese character recognition is much more important than hanyu pinyin. Even if your child is very good in hanyu pinyin, he will still do badly in Chinese if he does not know how to read many Chinese words. You should focus on teaching him to read as many Chinese story books as possible. Learning hanyu pinyin alone is quite useless, especially after the first half of P1.

For multiplication, just use real objects to teach. In P1, children only need to know that multiplication is repeated addition.

There is no way to avoid memorising as that's the best way to have quick recall. But during the learning process, there can be ways to help the facts stick. I can't remember how my husband helped my daughter when she was having a lot of problems learning the multiplication tables. I'll ask him (and her) and post again later.

I was flipping through some books at Popular and if I’m not wrong multiplication only taught in P2. Was I mistaken?? My son going to P1 next year. Is there a difference between the textbooks and what they actually learn in school?

yep , multiplication starts in P2, table 2 to 6 & 10 for my child's sch

i think P1 teaches on groupings, grp of 2 , 3, 4, 6 ,8 etc first step to multiplications.
