Hi Brenda10,

CASCO Classroom Challenging Maths 6 is useful when your child has acquired a certain level in her maths. Not all assessment books are useful for your child. As I mentioned, buying a SUITABLE assessment book for your child is better than just the packaging/marketing/hype-up or recommendation from others. Examine what your child really needs, then pick one that is suitable for her. If she is weak in problem sums and heuristics but strong in fundamentals, buying maths456 will not help much but the mathsheuristics book might be useful. Similiarly, if your child is weak in his/her fundamentals, buying mathsheuristics will not help but maths456 will be useful. If your child is strong in fundamentals/problems sums and looking for more challenging questions, the book you mentioned will then be suitable for her. 😃
You can contact me for help, will be happy to help though. 😃
Hi VisualTextEducation

Noted with thanks.

Hi VisualTextEducation,


How about for questions that are unique in paper one?That is the not so common kind of questions?

Leanne
Hi Leanne,

My apologies. Pardon me for my ignorance. I don't quite understand the part where you mentioned questions that are unique in paper one? The not so common kind of questions, meaning the questions that requires one to think out of the box and occurs in paper 1?

if that is what you meant, you can try the assessment book called Raffles Maths from Popular. They have a few books in total. Its not very expensive, so I am sure you can get all of them. However, do note that these are enrichment books and questions like those only comes out at most 5% in the PSLE and exams. If your child is that close to full marks then thats the book you might want to look out for. Otherwise my advise would be to keep to the heuristics and fundamentals first.
Do contact me should you need further advice ya.

Regards,
Peter

You are right.There are times, ds has lots of time for paper one,very muchdepends on the kind of questions set.However, in times, there are one or two unfamilar questions , and esp he has no calculator, he will start to worry and thus spent lots of time doing the questions.

[quote=\"Brenda10\"]Hi Leanne

Meet one dd classmate mother and shock to know her dd lost almost 10 marks in Section B but score full mark on Section A and Section C during the SA1.

As such, I think sufficient practicing/explosing to Section B is also needed.

Hi Leanne

I think \"time\" is the main factor as unlike Section C usually they can still have sufficient time to verify and counter check the answer.[/quote]

Agree. Especially calculators are not allowed. So mental calculations needs constant practising.

Yes. Must work with the speed and accuracy. If the children do not take note of some tiny detial ($ in question but answer in cents etc) they may just loss the mark.
