P2 Math - General Discussion

WCW:
Yes approx. for homework each week. It kind of kills the child interest unless you motivate the child. Abacus learning claims that it helps the child to focus and concentrate. I feel that it is true only when answering questions within specific time, challenged and motivated, otherwise, child will be reluctant to go for the classes. It happens to mine initially, especially he is more of a linguisic person. Having said that, he loves to go to the classes after he feels good at it. This is the same for all when we get better at the things we do.
thanks, baobei, for answering to my doubts.
DS is hyperactive, that's why not so sure is abacus suitable for him, i worried he cant sit down to finish. heard that there are abt 30 questions each day for abacus? i know it is good to practice but i also worried it will kill his interest in maths. -
Child started at 6 years old. Personally, I did not learn the formulas, however, they are taught gradually by CMA.

I have moved your Q&A post to the proper thread: http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=65&t=25114 -

Not all exam paper from elite school would be suitable and a fine tips I got before a teacher, the exam in this year would not be tested similar to the last year one!

I like to think that my DS2 is naturally inclined towards maths as he is not only interested in numbers, he is also quick to grasp concept e.g age difference concept. The only problem is…I realised he has been very careless with subtraction for 3- digit numbers onwards. Hence, even if he can do the 3steps question, he almost always end up with no marks. Can anyone advise how to correct this before it get worse?

May I seek your advise:
a) how to encourage children to love reading? My boy has no patience and not consistent to read story book. He dun like to write. I have asked him to write book review and he any how finished it.
b) how to train attention? My bb has very short attention. If you go beyond 10mins, he will stare at you and his ear just shut down. lol lor…
c) how to train composition writing?
Pse advise. -
Mummy-oan:
not sure if my tip is useful...but i myself love to read and my DD1 always see me reading and she has her own collection of books which is always within her reach...and she always pick one or two out to read by herself or ask my wife who reads a story to her every night...May I seek your advise:

yes, though my DD1 is just 3 year old but I think the reading habit starts young...if you love to read, it will be easy for your children to like reading as children are always modelling after their parents...
hope some other parents with children nearer to your children's age group can help

should start reading as a leisure.

He just need more practice to do vertical subtraction sums.
