Hi,


I’m looking for Only English dictionary, Saw a few brands like seiko, creative.

Still looking around.

Btw… 1st time will be going to the book fest…


how much of a difference is the savings over there compared to buying at popular for assesments and stationaries?? any idea anyone??

Seems like you read my … champion… i was wondering what was heuristics was all about… now i get a clear picture… thanks soo much for sharing and your effort to scan it to show us… thumbs up!! i’m glad i came across this forum… and found nice pple like you to help each other out…


And you know what I was going through the exact topic yesterday with my DD, about the position and how many people are there in total, And the only way I can think of was to teach her was to draw the stick man… hehehe… and she was able to understand… so next time i will tell her to draw boxes instead of stick man… hehehe…

I was worried my DD1 cannot cope with primary school transition. so I thought I should give her a headstart.. esp in maths since I find she is weak in it.. So I have been going through the P1 assessments books for quite a while, as I dont know if I will have time to do the assessments once she is in P1.. as I heard there may be homework almost everyday.. haizz...


As for multiplication... I started with 1 timestable on Jan, 2x on Feb and so on.. so she has learnt her 9x for this mth.

During mid year she learnt the 3 groups of 4 concept in her enrichment class, and I feel she was able to understand the whole concept better.

I believe good foundation is very impt... too :))

Hi! I believe you have started and lay a very good foundation for your DD! :celebrate:

Do not worry too much about her being unable to cope in the P1 transition as I believe most children will get into the gear pretty fast!

Ok, wondering have you read the following? This is the MOE guidelines on Primary School Maths syllabus and it does spell out what are the topics being taught

Thank you soo much for the encouragement and the link.. it is very helpful

now I think i have my DD pretty much covered..

will look out for the step by step math book.. since got good reviews!!

Based on your inputs… i think i have stressed my lil one too much… oops…


she is doing those lengthy problems sums… and she sometimes get it right and sometimes wrong…

her only issue is she is very very careless… she can do the sums properly and in order… but the final answer she can write the wrong digit faints instead of 32 she can write 23… haiz…

I also agree that good understanding of the english language is very important.

btw… anyone started on multiplication??

Hi,
