Thanks alot for the help.
I have gone through all the working steps. Still, some are
so difficult to understand. Now, I am wondering is my
understanding that poor? haha.
I have got a Math tutor for my daughter. The tutor always
said that I will bring back the questions and teach you on the next
lesson. Nothing is done. That tutor always scold her
and it is so wasting time for tuition. Worse, I engaged a
school Math teacher in the past. Same thing happened! The
teacher doesn't know how to teach when I questioned her.
?????
Thus, I went to the bookstore to look for Maths books like what
you guys have mentioned. BUT, how come the school's sums are
so much difficult? The answer models I can understand from the
book.
My daughter has very strong foundation in maths. Just
couldn't do some problem sums. I am so stress!!!!
What your daughter really need is a very experienced primary
school PSLE maths teacher or a full time PSLE maths tutor with at
least 15 years of experience as the type of problem sums that
appear in PSLE Maths questions are of many varieties.
There are the typical type of problem sums that appear in PSLE
Maths exams. These types of questions can be found if you have
access to the past 10 to 20 years questions of the top 25 school
Prelim Papers. Very experienced PSLE Maths teachers and very
experienced full time tutors have already compiled and
classified these questions according to topics and why how these
questions are set on these topics. (However, MOE setters always
surprise them every year with one or two new types of
questions).
Next, these experienced teachers and full-time tutors set
questions of similar types with variations to stretch the students'
abilities further and to train their students to identify these
questions and how to approach and solve these questions when these
questions appear in the school and PSLE maths exams.
Fully prepared PSLE students can easily identify these questions
and solve them in minutes.
You should talk to those PSLE students who score A* in PSLE
maths especially those with higher PSLE aggregate score and you
will realize that their abilities to identify these questions and
solve them in minutes are acquired through practices and
practices.
The books sold in the bookshops on model drawing method will
only help people to learn to use model drawing method to
solve problem sums. But to be an expert in using model drawing
method to solve problem sums needs a lot of practices.
