Welcome to this abacus topics. I really do not know much about this aspect. I will not let him learn from his pri sch. It will have too much for him to do for the day in school. Hmm.... I think learning off sch hour is the best. His brain will br free. CAN ANYONE TELL ME WHAT IS DUAL HANDS ABACUS LIKE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Stress or not? :faint:

Dual hand abacus means use 2 hand to speed things up. In traditional abacus, if there is an overflow of the digit to the next level, they need 2 steps to complete that. In 2 hand abacus, instead of 2 steps, they use 2 hand to shorten that. That is what I learn from my kid's CMA lesson, not sure if there are others. :?

Thanks, Phantom. I observed the speed in my niece too. Think it’s a good tool to pick up for Arithmetic.


Hi Jedamum, thanks for highlighting on the formula. That’s my concern too.

I’m also interested in sending my son to abacus training. Which is better: the traditional abacus or the 3G one?


Has anyone send their kids to edufarm or E&P learning Place? Which is better? Thanks!

Hi, I sent my boy to E & P when he is 6 yrs old. Till today (12 Yrs) he is very strong in Maths. I remember Ms Lian, his teacher told us that to be strong in Maths is to understand the concept and as long as u understand it u can do well.

Me & my hubby feel that the training he received from E&P do contribute to his Maths result.

Hi Sally,


Thanks for the info! Ya, I agreed that maths once know the concept will be a breeze.. cos it's about logic

Had signed my son up with E&P to try out for 12 weeks.. but not taught by Ms Lian though... hopefully the stds are the same throughout the branches

Any good recommendation on abacus classes held ard Simei or Tampines east area?

[adafew]

Can anyone share thoughts about


CMA
MRC learning centre
Crestar

Which is better?

I checked with the centres and all said takes at least 1-2years for results to be shown and can be rather boring for kids??

Hi,


I think it really can be quite boring… i attended with my boy and also found it quite boring for young kids… but abacus training is good… heard my good reviews…
