My girl is currently with CMA.


The main reason for me to choose CMA over other math enrichment center (e.g. one-hand abacus, mental arithmetics, 3G abacus, Kumon, etc) is because they are using two hand abacus. It claimed supposed to faster than other abacus method.

The channel U or 8 interviewed a child from CMA who attended twice a week class for one year can actually mental calculate the total amount when he was shopping with mummy. The result was exactly the same as what cashier calculated.
To achieve this or not, it is not the point. My main goal is to stimulate the child whole brain when they are young, especially they are not loaded with a lot of home work yet. Just like playing piano using two hand, both left and right brain will be exercised.
At the same time, a study routine, good focus and concentration can be established when they practice at home (e.g. listening CD read out question, the child mental sum and write down the no. with specific time range). Also the exam skill can be trained during the process. e.g. If my dd can't hear or figure out one question, I told her to skip that question and focus on the next one instead of wasting time on previous unsure question.

The cost is 220 for 10 lessens (once a week), $160/10 lesson (twice a week). If there is a existing member can refer your child, you will get 8% discount. One good thing is parents are not charged for the class fall on public holiday. Because the lessen is on individual pace rather than group, so you can postpone your class if the child is sick or on holiday.

oh wow!!! I didn't know there is such lessons!! Thank you for your info!!
