Rationale v Doing Shaping Math Activity book alone does not guarantee mastery of Math skills needed to tackle challenging Math questions. v When one understands Math concepts & masters necessary problem-solving skills (Heuristics, model method, etc. ) to tackle specific types of questions, one is more prepared for the exams & its unpredictability. (i. e. worksheets, ASSAD, revision papers. ) v Nurture in your son the love for Math. It’s not just about the exams. Mathematics is used in every moment of our life (e. g. spending your pocket money). www. anglochineseprimary. net http: //schools. moe. edu. sg/acsp Anglo–Chinese School (Primary)
