[quote=\"Tinkerbelle\"]Hi plum-cake,


Has your DD's sch started teaching models yet? DD is also in P2. She just started yesterday and told me it's confusing. I have exposed her to models but looks like it takes a while before they can fully grasp the concept. Looks like I must go thru with her again this weekend..

Not yet. Its actually ME :oops: who started learning the stuff last week. cos. when she hits that stage I had to help her prepareing myself lor.

Hi plum-cake,
Dunno what maths text book your DD's sch uses? My DD's sch uses My Pals are Here! and 'models' topic is P2 Term 1 work. So that means, you have to learn faster and start teaching your DD liao. [/quote]Tinkerbelle, Hi,

I think your dd's school is pretty fast. :shock: mine is also My Pals are here. she is in work book part 1. page 35. and in the text book they did 35,36,37 on Friday. Modelling starts in chapter 3...page 60.. and i am :imdrowning:

Hi plum-cake,

Ya...I was so surprised when she came back on Friday asking me about models. I also thought it was quite fast. That's why my poor gal said she's very confused. Just went through FAN-maths with her this morning. She's a bit better now but still :?

You still have 23 pages before Chp 3-models starts. Quick, quick, go and finish learnig your models...hehe. I'm sure you can do it.. :ugogirl:

Hi plum-cake,
I have yet to check out \"Visible Thinking in Mathematics\". Sounds interesting.

Personally, I feel that branch modelling is more suitable for upper primary when the kids start learning about fractions. Not to worry, you still have plenty of time to master that....keke.

Unfortunately, onsponge is not available to P1/P2. They have onsponge books and onsponge holiday workshops for P3-P6. If you're interested, here are the sample pages of the onsponge P3 book for you to check it out.

Don’t frighten the kids at lower pri with challenging Maths. I bought Simon Eio ‘Score in Math’ with 3 levels of difficulties for my boy. This way, he is motivated to move on to try the difficult and then challenging levels.

Dawn Tai’s Challenging Maths 4-in-1 is tough.

I have enough books. but that book title is a bit flashiii \"Visible Thinking in Mathematics\". might look for it . I couldn't forget that name.

but you are 100% correct..only I am doing fan math, andrew er with her now. I might start problem solving process in mathematics when I teach her bar modelling. that is scheduled on wednesday 26th. major reason is finding Time to do everything.

I have seen \"Visible thinking in Mathematics\". Basically the book teaches how to cross out when counting etc to avoid careless mistakes or recounting... how to use fingers to do addition and subtraction...

Interestingly, DD enjoyed Dawn Tai's Challenging 4-in1 Maths when she was in P1 last year. The other one that she enjoys is Andrew Er's Challenging Problem. She was totally bored with the week by week revision that I got her initially, cannot remember by who. Have yet to start her on any assessments, so not sure if she still likes these 2 now that she is in P2. Have not tried Simon Eio's assessments before maybe I'll check them out this weekend.
