[quote=\"abacus_trainer\"]Yes, I am. I like my job.

Great. I started my kids in CMA about 3 months ago. Usually how long does it take to complete the course?

Hope your boy is enjoying his classes. There is no fix end or completion of the course. There are 13 levels, level 13 is the lowest, level 1 highest. Beyond that still got duan wei su. I think to reach level 1 takes on average about 4 years. Can be longer or shorter depending on the child's progress. You can talk to your son's teacher to understand what the levels are about and how is it like.[/quote]Thanks for your insight. I was told that there is exam for every level. Is it necessary to take all of them?

Hi Dafodil,

Hv PMed u, pls check, for Toa Payoh Branch, u can look for person-in-charge Shan Shan..., my daughter is also from this branch.

Thanks purple05 for the referral. The trial doesn't turned out to be too well. DS don't seems to be keen in the programme. San san mentioned that he'll probably need a few trial lessons to try out. My next trial will be coming sun, 12.45pm...

If not, i'll probably go for Jelic.

icic... no worries, go slow....[/quote]Hi purple05, i signed up with San san yesterday. Hve PMed u my son's details. You can get referral disc from them.

Anyone sent your children to CMA or any mental and arithmetic class. Thinking of withdraw my kid out after 1 year as we want to put her into more academic class. Pls give your advice.

Hi abacus_trainer, my 5 yrs old girl has been with CMA since she was 4..according to the teacher's update yesterday, she will have 2 more books to go and she will start on multiplication..The teacher had given her a list of the multiplication tables and asked her to learn during her free tiime so it will be easier for her when she is tackling the multiplication.....I forgot to ask the teacher how long will the 2 books take before she could proceed to multiplication...Any advise?? I know multiplication starts at grade 10 and does it mean the 2 books she mentioneed will be for grade 12 and 11? Thanks!

sorry for the late reply.. Busy lah.. If your child is doing 113, then 2 more books after 113 is 112-1 and 111-1. As for long it takes to do 2 books, will depend on your child. 112-1 is a easy book, can do faster. Better to start to memorize times table earlier. Can start with 2 and 5 times table first.

It's a grading exam meaning you get a cert for the level you take. No need to collect cert for every level. Some people take bcos they want the child they gain some experience, some as a form of motivation, some bcos they are quitting.

Hi abacus_trainer, thanks for the reply..she just started with book 111-1 for abacus and grade 10 for mental... think I need to start her soon on the times table. ..she can memorise on 9 times table using fingers as taught by the teacher... For the 5 times table, I'm using the clock to teach her..my girl really enjoys abacus n when I mention I wanted to enroll her in other math enrichment class, she reminded me not to cancel CMA! She says its fun and she must continue...at least money invested is not wasted huh?
