P2 Math - General Discussion

Hi Mummies,

My daughter’s teacher just replied my email.

She told me she will be teaching the girls to use Models this year but is not compulsory to use models when solving problems.

Thanks Janet,


:imsorry: I didn see this post earlier. if it is Island wide pop sale then I'll get p2 visible thinking part 2. since you've already got that one how much is that and how much discount you'll get when you buy?

normally popular mail these kind of promos but I didn't get any wonder why. :roll:

Hi plum-cake,
Yes, the pop sale for visible thinking is on nation wide. I just bought books 2B and 6 for DDs. 2B cost $6.50 after discount...a discount of $1.95. :lol:

Nope, I don't have that. For English reference, I have the 'Basic English Essential' recommended by school. It's for lower primary. Other than that, I like the Teachers' Production Grammar for lower primary...not bad to fall back on fm P1-3. The Teachers' Production is comprehensive, including vocab like 'Adults and their young', 'Sounds made by objects', 'Animal sounds and motions'. Oops, posted in wrong thread. This is for P1/2 Maths.

My DD is currently using Casco Primary English P2 book in school as a supplementary text. Agree it's a good book. Instructions are clear & simple. Last year, luckily DD looked through the similes for fun. Her P1 SA2 paper tested her on as cool as a _______. :imcool:

Hi Janet,

Early exposure to models is great. It'll make maths so much easier in the future. :lol:
