Hi, multiplication is taught in P1 but the emphasis is on repeated addition and grouping. Multiplication tables will be taught in P2.

my boy used to attend a montessori math enrichment in K2 in preparation for P1. multiplication with the emphasis on repeated addition and grouping were included in the syllabus.
do note that (as of 2yrs back, so pls flip through latest p1 text if you are keen to find out) for P1, students are not taught the full multiplication set. multiplication taught will not be exceeding the sum of 40.

My dd is in K2 at MFS. According 2 her teachers ( both Eng n chin), there wont be any spelling tests given 2 them even in K2. I also realized limited assessment. More leisure time allocated than study. Most of the time, they are doing either drawing or art n craft. No lesson if their teacher is on either vacation or training. In fact I am quite disappointed with the ctr as they didn’t deliver their curriculum as promised. Feedbk alot of times but useless. As wat ppl say "pay peanuts get peanuts", don’t expect a lot fr them.


Afraid tat my dd being lagged behind when entering P1 next yr, i hv started enrichment classes when she was K1.

It is advisable to transfer 2 other preschool if u r able 2 do so or go for enrichment classes.
