It is really good that your son has the interest in it. My K2 girl just completed her 1.5 term. I have to always remind her to do her homework...think she is lack of motivation....Hi, wld like to share my experience on CMA. My son now k2 has been there for 2 yrs since he is 4yr o, im nt sure if his progressn is fast or juz normal? His mental arithmetic is at level 2 and abacus is at level 5 cos need to repeat the same bk few times unless u can pass the test based on certain timg. His aural mental (CD) is at 4dig 6Nos. Thought of pulling him out when he goes P1 next year due to time constraint, but he insist to cont. It really benefitd him alot, i could c his brain really get to exercise, i oredi lost track of the formula, need him to remind me. Realy din choose the wrong abacus centre.
abacus_trainer, if he finish grd 1 mental arithmetic,stil hv some more or have finishd the whole pgm, juz concentrate on abacus?
Anyone can advice how to motivate her? -
So glad that I join KS parents today, read the forum on CMA and can get 8% discounts. I plan to bring my 4 year old for the assessment next week. Actually, I want let the 6 year old join but not sure whether it will be too late cos he is going to P1 next year.

How to explain to a 4YO??
Apply the fomula +5=-5+10 on the ones. You can't +10, so you need to apply another formula +1=+5-4 on the tens.JHJC:

Hi abacus_trainer
I was going through my DD’s books. There is this book 113-1 (an abacus book) which she did up to page 26 and stopped. She did this book a couple of months before we had the pink 115-Li book. Which book is more advanced? 113 was given to her by her ex-teacher, and I do not know why she stopped using it mid-way. 115-Li was given to her by the current teacher. I am not sure if the current teacher is aware of this. Should we check? -
concern2:
i thought of stopping intially becos my son wil go P1 in the afternn sessn, by the time he come home and rush to 7.30pm cls, think he will snooze in there and weekend he has swimmg and piano. But come to think about it, since he so interested and motivated,esp when he 'beat' the Pri kids, also 'sayang' if i make him quit. Hv to squeeze time lor.I think I won't mind if my ds can reach that level by K2 :drool:

Your boy's progress is pretty fast, especially he started at a lower entry level. Sometimes it's not only the speed but also the will and determination. Many students gave up after abacus level 7 because at level 7, they start learning decimal point. Many students find it difficult, lose interest and give up. Your boy is amazing... :salute:Hi, wld like to share my experience on CMA. My son now k2 has been there for 2 yrs since he is 4yr o, im nt sure if his progressn is fast or juz normal?

Can share with other parents how you motivate him? Or he is the self motivate type? -

Opps.. haven't answer to your question.. Both abacus and mental has grade 13 (lowest) to 1 (highest). In chinese, we can \"ji shu\". After that, you have \"duan wei shu\", level 1 (lowest) to 10 (highest).
What I understand is.. it use to be only until grade 1. But many childrens in Taiwan, after achieving grade 1 wants to continue, so the Taiwan children abacus association invented \"duan wei shu\" from 1 to 10.
Pai seh to say, I have not taught any kids to grade 1 yet. But I know CMA has the books to train them beyond grade 1. :oops: -

Explain the ones first, ask your child to do on the ones first, +5=-5+10. Then ask him/her how to add a 10 on the tens? There isn't enough beads. So borrow from the 5 (or 50) on top, +1=+5-4.
After explaining and doing it a few more times, they will get it.
