<![CDATA[Heuristic Maths Unit Transfer Method]]>Hi,


A friend has asked me for help regarding the following:

Her kid is in P6 this year and is poor in Maths. She has been informed that there is a Heuristic Maths Centre in Goldhill providing Maths enrichment and using this Unit Transfer Method that claims to be able to solve 99% of the problem questions. She is keen to send her kid for their June intensive class so she asked for opinion of the centre, this method used known as Unit Transfer Method, and how easy is it for the kid to pick up within a short period of time (now till PSLE) or will it confuse the kid further?

My kid is in P5 and I’m also keen to know how effective and easy to use is this Unit Transfer Method. Will it be confusing for the kid to be learning modelling in school and another method at enrichment centre?

Parents with kids at this Maths Heuristic Centre or have tried before, please advise. Also appreciate any advice from parents who has tried any other maths centre or courses proven effective, or willing to share how to teach kids to solve Maths problems more effectively.

Thanks for all your help.

quite tempted to send my girl but its 485 per 10 lessons.
there are 4 modules. ie 1 module 1 term. first 2 terms for p4 are on diff types of models. term 3 on heuristics, term 4 on higher order thinkg.
has anyone tried this centre??
how does it compare to concept math and onsponge?

i know mathheuristic doesnt follow sch topic in exact sequence, but on the other hand i m thinkg, why go tuition if i can teach section a and b type of questions myslf? my prob is how to solve challenging problems…

[quote=\"KSP\"]I bought UTM too and found it easy to understand. There is another book Model Approach which suppose to be avaiable in Jun. Has anyone bought it? Care to share?

There are examples (with solutions) and questions for practice. I personally find the solutions for the examples very useful and easy to understand. This is the main reason I bought this book. I can't comment on challenging prob make easy as I don't have one. But the standard of the examples and questions in UTM are very close to PSLE paper. I know is expensive so please take a look at the content first before making the decision.[/quote]Hi KSP

Thank you for the recommendation.


I am thinking of getting one for reference or practice.

Thank you.

Can just check what is the difference between this onsponge and
challenging math make easy by the same author ammiel wan/thanks

[quote="tweet"][

I would think is good to have both books. We use either book to find a solution which is being structured in a way that similar to the question that we cannot solve.

E.g. Nan Hua 2009 P5 SA1 Q18 and SA2 Q18, we managed to find a similar example from “changeling math make easy” and solve the question.

Catholic High 2009 P5 SA1 Q14, we follow the model from the “Sponge” and managed to work out the answer.

Just my 2 cents thought.

Hi Leanne


I did not purchase onsponge maths. I bought the UTM and challenging maths problems made easy.As both books using UTM, there are not much of a difference to me.You may want to purchase the challenging maths problems made easy as it is available at popular, whereas the UTM, you can either go to the centre to purchase or buy online. My son is using these 2 books for extra practices as his tuition centre is using UTM to teach too.I did not send him to Maths Heuristics@Goldhill as it is inconvenient and the fee is rather expensive for me, futhermore have to follow the centre's modules (check the website http://www.mathsheuristics.com for details)

Hi,

May i know where is the UTM centre?Their books are more for upper Pri?We can't can't them from Popular or other bookshops?I want to browse through the books.I wonder why is it so expensive.

Thanks for sharing

Hi Kitty
you can check the website http://www.mathsheuristics.com for the details.you can also view the UTM book before purchasing.Yes, it is expensive.you can go popular to find another alternative book, challenging maths problems made easy by Ammiel Wan.

Hope this helps!
