[quote=\"plum-cake\"]I never heard of this \"Big Book shop\". where is this place?


pop @ Jourong east is having some sale 5feb-14feb.

Thank you.

Big Bookshop is at Clementi Ave 3. I think there is a polyclinic there.

I know Iknow....oh when I was studying I used to buy the uni books. quite cheaper there. as far as I know It was called Clementi Book shop. am I talking about the right one??? :?[/quote]Yes, hubby told me it used to be very popular with NUS students (ironically) until Popular came about.

Not the same…Clementi Bookstore along the block with many coffee shops & Q & M dental…popular with tertiary students


Big Bookshop is like Popular, it’s at at the same building as NTUC, Polyclinic & Yamaha. Level 2 i think.

Yes I have seen the book outside. i didn dare to look inside cause the price is 8+ and 2 books to buy. and if I go through the pages then ..you know my weakness. my dd told me, she is having ca1 this time. But I only have 3 CA1 papers from 2010 pastpapers lot. so I thot of buying a ca & sa papers book/wbook to do revision.. did you buy any of thoes books?

Hi plum-cake,

My DD is also having CA1 this year. I haven't started doing past year papers with her yet. Will probably start after CNY. I haven't really shopped for CA & SA papers book yet. Thought of letting her finish some topics in her assessment books to consolidate first.

After that, I'll give DD the past year papers to ensure she can complete her exam paper within the stipulated time. Must train her in time management cos DD2 is a 'mo-jie'.

Hi plum-cake,

Sorry for the error

I went to Popular for a ''walk\"...not the park
Saw the 2 Maths assessment books and was taken aback by the price. $8.45 for each :shock: If I really want to get it, definitely will do so during 20% discount.

If you're planning to let daughter practice from past year papers, you can download from http://www.test-paper.info. I let my son do past year papers as a form of exposure, not revision.

No prob...other than that, there is one by Outreach. Consists of 2010 past year papers. http://www.orlesson.org/orp/
For test-paper, you would have to register first but it's free. Outreach site doesn't require any pre-registration.

So the title is 'Visible thinking in Maths' by Ammiel Wan ?

I don't go to Big Bookshop...rather inconvenient...I frequent IMM more often though.[/quote]

Hi Janet,
This is the book that I bought my gal - \"Visible Thinking in Mathematichs 3A\" by Anmiel Wan. Price was $9.55 x 10% Discount = $8.60.

I run thru the book before buying and what prompts me to buy besides knowing that my gal's teacher photcopy a few pages from it to give them as a \"surprise\" test, the notes are useful for simplifying the concepts, clarifying some misconceptions - at least to me as a parent.

What I do at home is that I will mark those important notes with hightlighter and go thru with my gals. I cross-reference with it with her textbook to ensure that I am relating the same concept as what she being taught in school.
