Hi..What's the pink book?

princeton:

hi soursop
My no.2 is 6 years old, and have NOT started on the pink book leh...
She is a focused child, and has finished quite a number of books already, but still not given the pink book leh...MUST MUST ask the trainer this week!!!
My no.1 who is eight, not very focused, need to push hard...still working for the pink book...sigh...how much more $$$$ to go....

Hi All, you mean CMA centres has a pink book for the formulae? Its an exercise book too? My daughter has already started the formulae for + and now slowly - but so far no pink book given leh.

In addition, when can I see result coz after spending so much $ and time on her homework, she still uses her fingers to count. OMG!!! :?:

It is a thick light pink colour workbook (like the others but counted as 2 books). This is the basic book which introduces all the friends / siblings / neighbours formulas thru' worksheet and the kids get to practise and move on with these basic formulas subsequently.

If your kid is just doing the initial adding and subtracting of beads without learning about \"friends\" (friend of 2 is 8, friend of 7 is 3 - more like number bonding to form 10), then she is at the very basic and has progressed to the formula stage yet. Need to go thru' this formula stage before you can progress faster in addition, subtraction and subsequently multiplication and division.

anyone can enlighten me on all the stages of cma... dd is now at \"friends\" stage. i am just wondering when i can release myself of the tiring burden of bring her to and fro from class and the homework. i am thinking of stopping after she finished multiplication and division. :?:

Usually they will start multiplication and division at about grade 7/8/9 - depending on how old your kid is. She need to do her addition and subtraction very well before she can proceed to multiplication and division (which uses the add and subtract basics for the 2 or more digits multiply or divide). I would say it is still quite some time before your kid will reach that stage, but it is best you talk to your kid's abacus teacher to have a gauge of this if you are concerned.
