All About Primary School Math Enrichment

[CoffeeCat]

CHC123:

My daughter is going to P1 next year. She is now in MPM and planning to withdraw her after this term because felt that the teacher is not good. Can anyone advise Kumon and Andrew Er which is better choice? Understand that Kumon is focus more on repeating in doing the same thing and Andrew Er will be more on Problem solving. Thanks.

Kumon is more for training the basic mathematical skills like 4 operations, procedural skills like fractions manipulation etc. If I am not wrong kumon will not focus on non-routine problems or problem solving. No idea about Andrew Er.

I gathered from reading the earlier posts that branded centers (those expensive ones) accelerated their pace. Actually there's a more cost effective way of accelerating - just enrol your child in a higher level class in any no brand center, then no need to pay so much for branded ones? Can 'self-accelerate' as long as child is ready


My dd is attending Maths tuition at a nearby no brand center, enrol her 2 levels up. Students are generally weaker in that class, most scoring around band 2 or 3. But since it's 2 levels up for my dd, she's enjoying herself in that class. Meet my purpose - convenient location, fees are much much cheaper than branded centers and she gets to do more challenging stuff

That's a briliant strategy :salute:

Anyone send your kids to RC for Maths tuition?

Do you find it effective?

Fees are relatively cheaper.

Hi. Do you mean RC - Resident's Committee?

I have students who go to RC for tuition but the mother told me that there are many students in one class and it is hard for the children to really concentrate.

Any feedback on MPM Maths program for K2 and Pri 1 ? Is it good ?

Found the fees not cheap $440 per term. Anyone went thru this program and find it good ? Thinking of enrolling my gal for their Maths program for K2 and later on Primary 1 as found her number bond concepts not so good.

Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.
