All About Abacus Training

Abacus kids are amazing!

[blur mother]

Hi, my daughter has been learning abacus for almost 1 year but till now she still uses her fingers to count when I test her.

Thus, I am thinking does abacus really help as she is not applying at all.
In addition, primary school does not teach maths the abacus way so wouldn't it confuse the kid?
Can someone advise me as I am considering of dropping her off fr her abacus class. Thks! :roll:

[quote=\"titank\"]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.

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![/quote]Hi, I'm keen to know more about the one in the CC. Is there a lot of homework every week? English is it effective as I heard most abacus classes should be taught in Chinese? Pls share! Thanks!

Hi All, just enrol my DD at CMA. Before that i brought her to CC for abacus but didn’t find it good at all.

I think 3G Abacus was invented by Singaporean and has more beads than the normal one.

I have intended to send my son for abacus course, but the minimal age is 4 years old and mine is 3. Does any one send their kid to those mental abacus course before? Does it work and help in mathamatics abilities?

I send my gal(just turn 3yo) to \"Monkey abacus, right and left brain training\" at bukit timah sc...so far she and my 4.5yo boy are enjoying it. u can google and find out more.

My DS does not like abacus, as he needs to do his abacus homework too.

After there for 1 year, planning to drop out. I think he will forget all the formular, if he do not practice. Abacus is not useful to him then.

There a new class in Bukit Batok starting on 3G abacus for P1-P6 children and I’m thinking of letting my kid try out… the trainer apparently has had been awarded best trainer for the program… problem is they have insufficient students to start the class… they need a minimum of 12 to start… currently have 5…
