my k2 boy was with enopi square 2 since aug.

it was ok, just kumon, basic drilling of addition n subtraction. he did improve and able to do basic addition n subtraction quite fast now.
but lately it was lots of repetition of the same bklet, so i withdrawn

[GSK]

oh, really very slow as u mentioned to me b4.


addition n subtraction is wat my DS having in CMA, and now he just started in multiplication.

But tat is basic maths but wat about critical thinking?

[24hr-mum]

critical thinkg was ok, abt patterning.

but half a year since aug to feb, he was still doing 1-digit and 2-digit addition, very slow

But only half a year, tink still not too bad lah. Mine oredi in CMA almost 1 1/2 yr liao.

Is the critical thinking only on blocks?

Hi mummies,


This thread is very quiet now. Having heard of Kumon, Enopi and other maths enrichment which offer the same style (worksheets and teacher mark/guide type), I'd like to know how is this different from buying our own maths assessment/critical thinking books from Popular and let our kids do at home? Is there something that we as parents cannot do, that enopi/kumon offer? Sorry to sound very blur, cos I have not sent my boy to any enrichment before so reading up and trying to know more now, before I make the decision if he needs any enrichment of any kind. Tks!!

if ur child is obedient, and u know what to teach, can teach urself.

i send my kids only becos its more structured, and cos my kids are not the logical type by nature so i rather start them on math early. there are many kids who excel in maths without math enrichment in preschool age. but mine seem to lack logical thinking, so i find that start early is better

I totally agreed with 24hr-mum as it depends how you feel for your children. It better to start early then we get worried at the later stage where their foundation is weak.

Tks 24hr-mum & Monster Mummy for your advise.

Yes I agree with you…better to start early that later. Actually, my DS is ok to sit down and do worksheets for about 45mins-1hr daily on wkdays, but I feel these worksheets are after all very dry and can get quite repetitive after a while. Im thinking if there’s any enrichment out there which can help in critical thinking and analysing, or some skills that doing doing worksheets can’t achieve? I dun want ds to become a boring child, though he doesnt complain much.
