MPM Maths - Discussion

Dear parents,


my kid going to primary one next year and would like to send her to some math enrichment program.
she spent 2 terms in abacus and at the end she doesen't like to go as she can't cop up with it.
Now i am in dilemma whether to send to MPM or kumon

Hi,
Me too was wondering which one to send. I attended the briefing session in Kumon. I had then decided to send my DD to MPM and now she is enjoying so much. She can now do her calculation in school faster than before. The most important for me to choose MPM is not to kill her interest in Maths.

Hi,


My DD1 is with MPM. When you write beef up do you mean stretch or build the foundation?

For MPM, it does not train on the foundation. It’s more of enrichment, so it’s aim is to stretch and train on the logical and process thinking skills.

hi parents, I am from NTU and doing a project on early childhood maths, I would like to purchase some MPM books for reference. It doesn’t matter if it is used copy or in bad condition. Pls send me a PM if you would like to get some returns on your used books. Thanks.

HI!

Just wanted to report back to say that DD is now with MPM and she’s really enjoying it…more so than CMA definitely. Not sure if it’s working on her but at least there’s an interest developing. No need to push her to do the homework and she’s also excited to go to class. Concepts there but I think teachers are important. She has a good treacher, caring and dedicated. The only thing I found abt the teacher is that sometimes she makes mistakes in correcting the work…but I suppose she does the marking very fast and made the errors. Will monitor to see if more appear.

You won't be able to get it coz all MPM books must be returned back to the ctr. Unless there are parents who scan the books before returning back to the ctr.

hey hey... :offtopic: but wana ask - how are u? been awhile...lol

anyway, i was thinking of sending ds 3yr old to MPM...or does he still need to go jelic?

he can already write letters and numbers. din realize till we saw him doodling on papers that restaurants give when we were out dining. MPM starts tracing at the earliest stage right?

Hey hey…nice seeing you here. I am busy with my DS1 on his chinese reading loh.


MPM don’t take in children at 3yrs old and MPM doesn’t do tracing. Jelic takes in children at min 3yrs old. My DS2 is going jelic next month. Kumon does tracing. DS2 is now doing kumon (not attending class but mummy’s class).
