P4 (changes with effect Yr 2024):
​

2 New topics are inserted. They are 'Pie Chart' & 'Nets'. Out of these 2 topics, Nets is the topic that P4 students need more practice as it requires visualization skills.

Do note that the topic 'Nets' is NOT about teaching your child how to use the ATM card😄

So, what is Nets?

A Net is a two-dimensional figure that can be folded (with NO OVERLAPPING) into a three-dimensional solid figure.

​The nets of the solids that your child will learn are  Cube, Cuboid, Prism and Pyramid (see pic on the right for an example of a net for the respective solid).

​Click the link below to find out more about Nets!

​So, how to help your child improve his visualization skills? Nothing beats by doing some hands-on activity! 😄

Below are the 2 activities that I proposed and I hope they are useful to you 😄

1. Buy an origami book OR watch origami YouTube videos and follow the guides and start folding! Try it! Is FUN!

Alternatively, if you plan to buy some IKEA boxes, let your child follow the instructions and fold up the box!

​2. Trace out the Nets on the school textbook (see pictures below for some examples).

Cut them out and start folding them. Tell your child to select one of the faces as the BASE. Observe how other faces joined to one another!
​
Repeat the steps by selecting a DIFFERENCE face as the base! Observe again!
