[quote=\"jedamum\"]My boy's teacher may be getting onsponge for them to do in class in p5. Should we get another copy to do at home? Ifnot, can any one recommend a similar type math assessment? Ie notes in front followed by heuristics problem sums. Thanks.

There are problem sum books by Andrew Er and by Terry Chew which are similar. However, for a book using the same types of models as the OnSponge books, I recommend Ammiel Wan's Challenging Maths Problems Made Easy. I had started on the forum a thread asking about this book. Thereafter, I worked through the book to understand the 11 types of problem sums categorized and explained in the book. These are the same 11 types of sums that are taught in the OnSponge books.

For kids that need practices for similar problem sums, then GLM effective problem-solving methods for upper primary maths is a very good choice.[/quote]Hi, could you post a picture or link to review of this book..
cannot seem to locate this book at popular website

Ammiel Wan is also the co-author of OnSponge, right? So, the Challenging Maths Problems Made Easy should be aligned to OnSponge, right?

Yes, problem types and bar models are similar. However, the problems in the Challenging Maths Problems Made Easy are of P5-P6 (PSLE prep) level, whereas the OnSponge books are graded from P3 onwards. So if you are starting in the middle of P5 (say) it would be more economical to just get the single book Challenging Maths Problems Made Easy.

They are kind of similar, personally find the onsponge providing more qns to practice n qns are also according to topics.

Dear all


My DS is currently in P2, I’m wondering which Math assessment book is suitable for him. He is very interested in Maths and he is quite good at it. Thinking of getting something challenging for him to try. Appreciate your advices.
