model approach vs unit transfer method

[24hr-mum]

hi


my girl p3. the sch only teach MA but very simple ones -
part-whole model
comparison model
multiplication model
division model
even then she dun really know the name of the model and when to use what.
her drilling in model drawing comes more from existing tuition, even then she is only good at those involving repeated identity and the first two basic models. so she sometimes try to avoid model drawing.

and i find that some problems, on her own, she sometimes dont realise it can be solved by model drawing. whc means she cant realise the strategy on her own but if u tel her the mthd is model drawing, she sometimes can. the sch stimes teach them to draw two models for some questions, the before and the after models but she cant reconcile the two. or she draw but cant interpret and make use of it


that is why i m contemplating sending her to mathheurisitc whc teach more advanced models eg stack model, split model and utm and other heuristic but this plc is an enrichment ctr， they dont realy follow sch syllabus in terms of sequence. i think onsponge follow closer but i m not sure if utm and other type of heuristc are cover in p4. the location is also not as convenient as mathheuristc


chenonceau - the math heuristic book u bought is it the one by sunny tan？

Yup! He has another book but I thought the other overlapped with Onsponge and since I had already bought Onsponge, I didn't buy that.

Sounds like a 1-1 tutor will help her better for a start.

Where to buy this book by Sunny Tan?

Are on sponge books available in popular? Between on sponge and maths heuristics, which is easier to use as a guide? I hope I can continue to teach my girl with the help of guidebooks.

I think it is best to get some1 good to teach ur child. No point trying to save $ but ended up teaching the wrong things. At the end of the day, ur child suffers.

i used to think that I can teach my girl, using assessment and guide books. At the end i gave up. I was so frustrated that i ended up scolding her, everyday was like war between us. Everyday we ended up hving this strain between us.

I keep telling myself, relationship before results but I don't always succeed
