goldtrix:
I'm looking for which math enrichment programme would best suit my P2 girl. She is barely coping in maths (average 50%). She is just not grasping the concepts on how to do the questions well and is de-motivated. It's not an English problem as she scores 80+ for English. She is shut-down and even the 1-1 tutor is not getting good results after a few months. Any programme to recommend that would help her to take in interest in math by working on the concepts in a way she will understand?

she need to built a good foundation first
every kids progress diff
good tutor for me might not suite ur kid learning style

or use colour beads for your child to play around to understand the logics behind.

all questions at all levels and subjects are consolidated.
https://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/askq/

At P2 level, they are expected to make a list for this kind of question (not guess and check).

So Sally had to choose 2 from 6 different types: A, B, C, D, E, F

Her choices would be:
AB AC AD AE AF BC BD BE BF CD CE CF DE DF EF

She would have 15 different choices.

(draw and guess and check), wondering whether is there a shorter way whereby a P2 child will be able to understand.


A drink stall is selling 6 different types of drinks. Sally wants to buy 2 different types of drinks. How many possible ways can she choose from.

Hi all, how is the better way to explain this.


Total length of a rope, a ribbon and a string is 20m.
The rope is 12m long.
The string is 2m shorter than the ribbon.
a) What is the length of the ribbon and the string?
b) What is the length of the string?

Thank you.
Draw model, then dc will be able to see clearly

Q: 59 students bought fruits. 47 of them bought apples.38 of them bought pears. They bought a total of 85 fruits altogether. How manay students bought both apples and pears ?


what's the better approach? draw boxes? (easier to see, but quite a number to draw)
Hi There,

Total no. of fruits bought = 47 + 38 = 85

Since 85 fruits have been bought, some children have bought more than one fruit.

Therefore the no. of students who have bought more than one fruit is:

85 - 59 = 26

Cos there are 26 \"extra\" fruits when you make comparison to when each student has one fruit.
Thus we can conclude that 26 of them have bought both an apple and a pear. (we are assuming they only bought an apple and a pear each.)


Hope that helps.

All the best!

Draw models of 59 47 38. Using 59 as guide, 47 starts from left, 38 starts from right. The overlapping part of 47 and 38 is the answer to the question.

47+38-59 = 26 = Answer

Use real life illustrations. Like buy a packet of bee hoon for $0.90. Give the seller $1 must take back how much?

Break piggybank. Pour out coins of value 10cents 20cents 50cents and dollar. Let child play and explain to them the value. At the same time, can teach them using notes too.
