I just signed up the abacus course at the CC. See how the progress after 10 sessions before deciding to switch other abacus provider.

Hi titank

I also signed my child up for abacus course at a CC but it is taught in chinese. Trying to kill 2 birds with one stone. :lol: Learn abacus and at the same time have more Chinese language time. He prefers to communicate in English. Hope it doesn't backfire, i.e. can't understand the lesson! Starts in Feb. When does the course start for your child? Will decide whether to join CMA after that. There's a branch near my place.

Hi, I'm a kiasu newbie here.

Have been reading the posts and seen that mostly recommended CMA, 3G Abacus and Apple Plus.
My daughter is 4 yrs old and she has been learning abacus under Smart Brain and is doing fantastically well.
They have franchises all over the world and even help those special needs children.
They are different from CMA, 3G abacus and Apple Plus cos they use one hand only and it is super fast.
Just to share my view only.

Hi wlindasg
Would like to find out more about this school. Could you provide more detail? Thanks.

Seems like from the general opinions, most parents feel that teaching abacus to pre-schoolers should not confuse them with their Maths…

Anyone knows if there is any study done on this?

The Abacus started in mid Dec 2010 where teach in English. I find that CMA is rather expensive. CC charge me $10 for the book & the abacus!

Hi


I'm so happy that I found this forum with parents discussing on Abacus classes for children.

My boy is in P1 and would like to enrol him too so as to build up his maths foundation. At the sametime I am looking for classes on creative writing with speech and drama, in K2 he has this as enrichment lesson which he can write and speak well.

Im staying in woodlands does anyone know or can recommend any CC that are conducting this course and hopefully it is near my house. Any recommendations?

Thanks. :lol:

RE: 3G abacus


Sometime back I shared in this forum about marrying 3G abacus and Problem Solving (which is the problem with many kids).

I'm happy to share that my classes have commenced and so far, the students like the problem solving component after learning how to calculate on the abacus.

And I'm happy to find a like-minded 3G abacus instructor who will be opening classes at her home in AMK.
