I see from my child working that he tried to cut the model smaller and smaller. In the end, it get so untidy and confusing!

I am not sure if the stack model is taught in school. So far, I have observed that conventional model is commonly used in most schools.

There are basically three different form of model: Conventional, stack and split model.
The most common question asked by most parents is "Which model is most effective?"

It all depends on the nature and type of problems. For a child to be able to identify which model to apply in different questions requires specialised training in visual processing.; March 6, 2010 at 12:43 AM

I had attended one of your workshop in UTM. Really interesting, my child had attended your holiday UTM workshop and I have been guiding him with his work.

Is there any workshop for parents to learn model drawing?Do drop me a email once the book is released.
