Hi,

I went IMM Popular yesterday hoping to get the Visible thinking Book 3B but alas the sales told me that the book has not arrived and most probably will be in May/June period ... Yes, agreed that the books were all neatly re-arrange and personally I prefer to shop there as compares with Jurong Point (Although it was 10 mins walk from home) . Also, there wasn't much crowd yesterday so I was able to stand there and browse thru the assessment books. Was comparing the Chinese ones when one gentleman came out and asked,\"May I know what you are checking? Isn't getting this book that comes with the DVD a better deal?\" I explained to him that I was going thru each assessment book's content and how the syllabus is being structured, the questions are being set. He replied:\"WOW! That means you are very free & you are very detailed!\" :lol:

Frankly speaking, I was on leave and was hunting for some more Ass books to prepare for my gal's CA1 and also don't want to get too many \"extra assessment books\" :roll: ...So am able to spend 2 hours there to get the \"ideal\" copy that I needed...Heeee...

Sorry, maybe I am in the wrong forum and write too much :clubmyself:....

Hi champion,
Just curious, after going through all the assessment books, which one did you end up buying??

Hi Taurus,
Can also consider Fan-Math Heuristic & Model approach OR Fan-math Models as a tool. Both books are by Li Fanglan. I used them for my DD and she really enjoyed learning models with stickers which represents all the bars in model drawing.

Hi Tinkerbelle,

I ask my dd to draw the models... cos to practice drawing, and for exams you have to draw...no stickers :oops:

Hello,
I got Science P3/4 Lower Block for my gal - can't remember the title (as I was more concerned with the content in the book) .

Got a Chinese Assessment Book too for her - Yea, this one I can remember because I stood there like almost 20 minutes to read through every page :lol: 小三华文每课复习 - 怡学出版社. Author:陈岩. I like it as it has the 生字新词表.

For Chinese, I usually get 跟着课文走 as well as the 每课一练 强化练习, both by Victoria Publications. Understand 怡学 (learners) is not bad..will check out 生字新词表 you mentioned when there is 20% discount.

Hi plum-cake,

I’ve not bought a single Chinese assessment book for P2 yet. That is not so difficult…either EPH, Learners or Victoria. English is tougher.
If I want to spare myself from standing too long at Popular, I’ll just grab one of each from Conquer range.

Hi Janet,

Don feel like that. You have to compare the books and buy cos you know your child's weakness. don just buy because somebody reccomended it.
