I heard of the benefit of CMA through words of mouth and is keen to send my youngest one for the class. Can someone let me know if 3 is a good age to start or is it better to start at 4 or 5? Thank you.

It depends on child. Basic requirement is child needs to be able to write 0-9. Can send child for assessment.

I think 3.5 to 4 years is probably a good age to start, as long as the child knows 0 to 10. On the other hand, it is also never too late to start. My boy started late too. However, I think it is good to start younger so that they can complete the course by end of P2. In P3, there will be a lot more homework from school and CMA homework is quite a lot too. There are 3 to 4 books and an audio CD - 70 questions. In total, each child does about 150 to 200 questions per week. My DS enjoys but DD just complete the bare minimum.


Putting academic results aside, what I find really effective is it trained my children how to stay focus and be meticulous in their work. DS is in P3 now and I am glad he was able to obtain 98% for overall semester 1. In the recent SA, he completed his paper in 30min and had 1hr to check the answers. For math, it's really about speed and accuracy. There are some students who could not complete the math paper. Likewise for my DD in p1, she managed to get perfect score for her math assessment (of course P1 is super easy but also super easy to make careless mistake) so I hope she remains consistent.

I am just sharing my personal experience and I do hope it will benefit your child too. Out of so many enrichment classes that my children attended (from piano, international chess, ballet, phonics, speech & drama etc...) in their pre-school days, I find abacus and phonics among the most useful ones. The only regret is I should have let my DS start CMA when he was younger so that he could have complete DAN level by now.

Hope this sharing helps...
