P2 Math - General Discussion

[ChiefKiasu]

buds, if the world is made of more people who think and act like yourself, it would be a much nicer place to live in. I myself have been highly inspired by your posts and look forward to every new one. It’s just that as our community grows and when people have less time to read to fully understand the context that underpins each post, they fall back to their own convictions to fill in the missing gaps and create their own intepretations on the posts which may have never been intended by the authors.


My goal is to be fair to all posters - I don’t delete or modify messages in the posts, and the only ones I have deleted are duplicate messages and the only text I have modified are titles of posts to at least get some semblance of organization in the Forums. This speaks volumes of the quality of the posts that we have gotten this far - everyone have been discussing and sharing their experiences in a most amicable fashion for the last one year, until in the last few days. Today marks the first time I had to close a thread, but even so, I have no reason to delete any post.

So like Shylyn mentioned in another thread, we have to learn to ignore and get over criticisms, especially those which we know are said without basis. No need to respond to them, either. If we spend our lives making sure we satisfy everyone, we’ll need several more lifetimes than what we are already blessed with.

buds:

You inspired me.

buds,
:oops: I am sure there are many more mommies who are inspired by you !

I guess it is because of my profession, that I prefer to write \"step by step instructions\", and \"detailed teaching methods and teaching plan\" in my blogs and in forums. I find it much more useful and constructive compared to those \"Here's the link. You can read all about it here\" kind of information. Your step by step instructions have been very helpful to many parents !

We all come to the forum to \"de-stress\", not to add more stress, right ? We are all here so that we can have a good chat with each other, not to argue to death about differences in opinions !

Hi buds


Thks for finding time to upload resources for me. Don't worry I can wait, you just take your time.

As Tamarind mention above, we all come here to \"de-stress\". Really hope that you will cheer up again. by the way, here also is my virgin forum.. nice to meet u here.

My son now is in childcare ctr N2. Yesterday I just started to teach him 2 toys plus 3 toys, all together how many toys..... by using the toys, later will apply on both hand & heart, as what you mention before.

Ps: Hi Tamarind, you are right, I am also is one of the mummy who are inspired by buds, and you also. Well done mummies, keep it up! :celebrate:

Hey buds


My boys is 4 & 2yo. ah yes, may I know what kind of checkmate you are mention? :?

buds:

As long there is the initial introduction of the basic
mathematical concepts, at an early start, rest assured
the child would grasp the concepts in time for Pri 1 Maths!

I was just wondering....
maybe it will be more apt to create a separate thread on Preschool Math or P1 Preparatory Math or continue similar discussions over at http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=428 or http://www.kiasuparents.com/kiasu/forum/viewtopic.php?t=117&start=75.

Nowadays suppose to know addition/subtraction before P1 leh....

Aha! Now we know why jedamum's son is a class monitor. \"He get's it from his momma\".


I wanted to say something but no guts lah.

Heyya jedamum,


There is another one >Teaching Pre-school Maths thread started
by berriestan. Checkmate method should be okay in P1 Math.
But pre-prepz for P1 Math can go under the abovementioned
thread.

Chief, whaddya thoughts?
Direct me to what you decide to be a more appropriate
thread to contribute to. I’ll go with the flow.

Tks for the observation jedamum.
