LOB | P5 51-Must-Know Problem Sums

Attention all parents frantic about preparing your P5 child for SA2 Math!

How to help your child…

Prevent The P5 Drastic Grade Drop

…And Gain An ‘Unfair Advantage’ Over Their Peers At The End Of Year Exams

Save time AND money by getting this one book that is all-you-need for the upcoming PSLE Math paper!

[Selling Out Fast | 200 Books In Stock Only]

Having tutored for over 7 years… I realise that the reality for PSLE Math is that there’s really not much variation in what will come out year after year.

To save time, I spent the early part of 2020 compiling the Ten Year Series of PSLE Math you have to know in order to be fully prepared for PSLE 2020.

I usually share this only to students of my tuition centre, Learning Out Of The Box (LOB).

But now, it’s my first time making this public, and I would like to invite you to be the first to get this advantage…

This probably flies in the face of what you’ve been told before:

“You have to do past 3 years of papers”

“You have to spot and predict trends and get it right”

Those are all tactical. They can help, but if you get the big picture wrong, your child will still miss out on their A*…

This book contains the very big picture that you need to make sure all the gaps for your child are plugged before PSLE Math paper comes.

“I wish I knew all this before she took her SA2…”

Patricia’s daughter entered Primary School on a good note, and initially does well in P1 to P4 math.

However, something terrible happens in P5.

Patricia’s daughter experienced a sudden drop in math grades at her end of year exams!

She barely scraped through to P6…

From a usual A every semester, it suddenly became a B or even occasional C!

So Patricia frantically sign up for a math tuition centre,

The first one didn’t get any results, her daughter’s grades continued stagnating.

Patricia switches tuition centres…

But still, it’s not improving at the level they want.

It almost looks too late and chances are her daughter will not be getting her well-deserved A* for PSLE Math.

Plus, getting her tons of assessment books doesn’t help either, it’s either undone, or done but results don’t change at all.

At this point, Patricia realised that something MUST change.

Improvements are still not here after 4 long months.

Finally…

Patricia found the solution that “clicked” for her daughter 5 months before PSLE… and started putting work into it together with her daughter.

And at last! Her daughter’s grades finally started jumping up… and she managed to score her well-deserved A* for P5 2019!

Here’s the thing.

Although this was a happy ending…

It was not a happy process…

Patricia and her daughter essentially had to suffer for many long months before they achieved their big win!

Her biggest regret?

“I wish I knew all this before she took her SA2…”

That was what Patricia said to me as she heaved a sigh of relief over her daughter’s excellent grades.

What if…

Instead of waiting ONLY until it was too late when the borderline grades are on the report card…

Instead of suffering and pulling her hair out from the last-minute rush…

Instead of being unprepared and caught off guard by the infamous “P5 Grade Drop” which almost EVERY child goes through anyway…

Patricia actually found the secret earlier and managed to help her daughter do well in P5 SA2 and have a smooth sailing year in P6?

Here’s the secret Patricia discovered…

But before I go there.

Let’s go back 1 step and set some context…

My name is John Yeo, and I am the Founder of LOB. Most parents know me as a Math Problem Sum Expert.

Media-Featured Math Tutor Who Has Impacted 22,358 Students & Their Parents

You may have seen me on multiple media features over the past 20 years…

Been on my parent support group with 6,000 other parents…

Or even used some of the 40+ other Math books I’ve authored.

Now… alot of parents and students I taught face this story, that I’m sure you can relate.

Earlier, you saw the story of Patricia, one of my parents.

So why does this happen?

What Is Not Being Done Right?

The truth is, when it boils down to everything, math is about practising the correct strategies.

3 key words here:

1. Practising

2. Correct

3. Strategies

Which means when your child is practising but not doing well, you can usually boil it down to either 1 or these 2 root causes.

1. Not the correct practice

2. Not the correct strategies

Most children have no problem practising, but simply practising blindly is far from enough.

Remember the previous PSLE Math papers with nasty surprises?

We had the infamous ribbon question a few years ago…

Then the number patterns question more recently…

The thing is, if you thought those “unknown” questions were the issue, they are not.

The issue is that children did not have the correct practices and hence the correct experience to follow them into the exam.

The worse part is, there are TONS of assessment books and past year papers out there.

Your choices are almost unlimited...

But you and I both know that there’s no time — nor energy — for your child to reasonably be able to do ALL of them.

It’s just not practical.

In fact, it’s like your child is having 99% of the resources to succeed but missing the last 1%. — which is knowing WHAT exactly they should practise on!

The “Correct” Practice Your Child Must Do…

Now that you know the root cause…

So what’s the solution?

Yes, this last 1% is figuring out the CORRECT practices. Knowing what is the correct practice to have.

This is basically consolidating:

1. All the potential topics that will come out

2. All the question types that will come out for each potential topic, including higher order thinking questions

3. All the common combinations of questions types that mix topics

4. All the higher order thinking questions that separate the A* scorers

It’s alot of work, but once the hard work is done…

It’s like having a map to P5 Math — your child will never get lost anymore.

And once your child has practiced all of them.

The chances of them getting caught off guard lowers significantly. 

They will have all they need to score A*…

They won’t have nasty surprises at exams…

And they can just concentrate on identifying the correct strategy and applying it to solve each and every question that comes out.

In short, it makes your child’s life much, much easier…

Singapore’s Leading Primary Math Specialist with 22,358 students taught and over 45 Math strategy & guide books published reveals…

P5 51-Must-Know Problem Sums Book — All The P5 Math Essential Practice Questions You Need Contained In ONE Book!

This book aims to solve this dilemma by giving your child the Correct & Precise practice they need.

As you know, I’ve written alot of books.

They cover the strategies and correct practice questions for a range of levels as I’ve shared before.

Many years ago…

I wanted to write one book that specifically just contained everything your child needed to make sure they practiced before the P5 exams.

So I started developing this book.

I initially thought it will just take me a few weeks to compile, but it ended up taking me months.

There was just too much to consider.

If I included everything blindly, it means there will be too much to practice. It becomes another useless assessment book that adds a burden to your child.

So I had to ruthlessly cut and choose only the right practices.

So after all the fine selection and filtering, I finally have it.

I discovered that there was only

51 Types Of Problem Sums That Can Possibly Come Out For The Entire P5 Year

This golden book contains all ESSENTIAL questions your child needs to practise to be ready for P5 SA2 this year.

This book is your go-to practice book.

I’ve done all the consolidating of points 1 to 4 for you.

These are the very same practices my students have used year after year to secure As and A*s.

Here's what some parents shared:

Due to popular demand, a lot of parents have been waiting for this book to be out since early this year.

What’s Covered In This Book?

P5 51-Must-Know Problem Sums is an all in one book specially selected to cover all the essential practice questions your child needs for P5 SA2.

Here’s what it contains:

1. 180 Pages of content-packed essentials your child needs for P5 Math.

2. ALL 51 Types Of Problem Sums That Will Come Out For P5 SA2 Exams

3. Targeted Questions which contains all the ESSENTIALS your child needs to know — if they complete all 148, high A and A* is virtually guaranteed! If they can’t complete some questions, you will know where to plug the gaps immediately!

4. PLUS — Answer Key and Workings are ALL included too! So you don’t have to frantically search for the correct answer and go through the pain of working backwards by yourself.

5. Questions and Answer Keys are separated, so your child has space to practise and write his workings, while you have a reference to check their work and give them the correct solution.

Here’s a quick glimpse of the book in this video:

Unlike other assessment books, I’ve filtered out the unnecessary parts, so that practice is correct and concise.

These are all proven questions my students have been practising for more than 15+ years.

Imagine having the tons of assessment books and past year papers, but just the important ones you need to practice.

All arranged for you in one book in an orderly manner.

That’s the true value of this book.

Here’s what some parents say:

How to Use The P5 51-Must-Know Problem Sums Book:

As a parent… all you have to do is make sure your child is actively using the book. Even doing 1 question a day is enough. Just make sure that they make progress!

If they can complete this book, they will be ready to score high A or A* for the P5 Math paper this year.

I’ve made it as simple as that.

Of course, when they reach stumbling blocks and can’t do a certain question, you can refer to the content page to immediately know what concept they are missing out and seek help from either your teacher or tutor — or even in my parent group which will be free for you to join and ask questions!

6000+ and counting parents have been inside my FB group for years — and nowadays fellow parents are helping out more than I do!

Unfortunately, copies of this book are very limited right now for the following reasons:

1. I already have a waiting list of parents because we ran out of copies earlier this year during circuit breaker

2. I have only printed 200 copies for this batch due to restrictions imposed.

3. As SA2 comes nearer, it’s too late to use this book and hence, we are not going to be able to reprint or restock in time.

My personal mission is to make P5 Math preparation a breeze for you for SA2, just as I’ve done for so many parents.

I am a father of 3 young daughters myself and I actively teach them math, I know how hard it can be to help your child improve.

We all want the best for them, and I want to make sure I can help you to do that.

I’ve made this vey affordable for the value it gives you.

P5 51-Must-Know Problem Sums is better and will save you money you will otherwise spend on other assessment books.

It’s normally $50 which is already a bargain, but right now you can get it for just-

$35

By getting this, you will not need to get another assessment book anymore.

You would have made the right choice. That saves alot of money and alot more time as well.

By the way, if you want to get this for your child’s classmate or your relative as well, be sure to get more copies before we run out…

Volume 1 covers the 11 must-know level one problem sums types that all students must know by P5 Term 1. (Students learn some of these concepts at P3 and it’s tested till P6.) Volume 2 covers the level 2 problem sums students see in tough exam papers.

Selection of problem sum types to focus on. There are too many to study everything. So I’ve selected the ones that are almost-always tested as well as heavily weighted so your child has the best chance possible to score A or A*
Explaining to parents using layman terms. Most books are too complex and designed for teachers. They are non-parent friendly. This book explains everything in a simple way so that it’s easy to digest and absorb.
Start with Topics before going into Heuristics. Techniques are meaningless without understanding the overall battlefield and strategy first. I’ll take you through a sequence of learning that makes the most sense (so please don’t skip pages in the book if possible)
Sequential, from simple to complicated. Start with fundamentals and work up to higher order thinking skills. That way, you will understand your child’s perspective A LOT better.
Step-by-step explanations. No more staring the answer and having to work backwards for your child. I’ll break everything down step by step so that you can finally see how things work.
The build up for math over 4 years, everything is related from P3 to P6. This book helps you connect the dots.
This is primarily a P3-P6 Problem Sum self-study course for parents (Children can also use it but will need guidance from parents to do so). It can even train parents to become teachers and coaches. Some of our former parents even end up as fellow coaches for other parents in our parents community.
Quality control. You can also use book to cross check whether your private tutor or teacher knows their stuff.
How to prevent teaching your kids the wrong concepts and lead to them suffering in school.
If child is not doing well in P5 and P6, it likely has to do with foundations in P3 and P4. This book explains why and how to solve the issue.
And much more.

A Math Strategy Book Exclusively Designed For Parents (Not Available In Public Bookstores)

You may be wondering if this is similar to any of the mountains of assessment books and guides you have bought for your child before in Popular.

It’s not.

This is NOT a 200 page textbook or guide that your child has to somehow cram into his brain right before an exam.

This is NOT an assessment book filled up with practices that your child ends up leaving empty and brand new.

This is also NOT a “cheatsheet” or “formula sheet” or anything that is too technical… and cannot be applied if you don’t understand what the question is asking for in the first place.

Instead ...

It is a CONCISE DICTIONARY to all the critical math concepts your child has to know from Primary 3 to 6,

that you can teach him to reasonably revise in just 5-10 minutes anytime, anywhere.

Especially if your child tends to doze off and miss a handful of critical concepts which he is eventually tested in school, this book makes sure that he misses nothing out.

The 2 books have over 200 pages in total - Volume 1 covers the 11 must-know level one problem sums types that all students must know by P5 Term 1. (Students learn some of these concepts at P3 and it’s tested till P6.) Volume 2 covers the level 2 problem sums students see in tough exam papers.

It is purposefully designed as 2-book combo which parents can read to have an overview of, while also being a one-stop problem sums resource that children can read and learn with a parent’s guidance.

In other words, it’s the complete book kit for a parent to coach a child in math.

The best part is they can even be used from Primary 3 through Primary 6!

Better than other assessment books that you have to buy year by year.
