CMA Math - Discussion

[Lynn_t]

Hi,

I have send my son to CMA Punggol for lesson.
He will be finishing his 2nd term this evening. He has made tremendous progress in his attention span and is able to focus much better (my initial intent to send him for such lesson).
He is 5+ yr old and w 2 months there, plus supervision at home, he is able to sit and complete more than 100 questions each day. And on top of that he finishes 70 questions (audio) questions are one go. And recently, he started to do more than what I asked him to do. I am so happy and proud of him as I have concern on his attention span and concentration level previously.

Pls pm me if you need his details for referral.

[smurf]

thats the question i wanted to ask. beside cost fee, i think the main difference is that CMA uses 4 beads and 3G uses 9?

not so sure... but i know DS loves to do his CMA h/w but usually not more than 5pages/day

Probably the kids realised that there are rewards for doing homework... They get stamps on the reward cards which can be exchange for gifts...

I am also told by CMA that the 3G one uses more formulas to teach...

[smurf]

no leh, CMA told me CMA got more sets of formula. and that 3G is more easier to learn because they have only 2 or 2 sets of formula.

3G is so much cheaper. I wonder if CMA is really useful?

[smurf28]

I was told by 3G has fewer formula and is more suitable for school.

No sure how true…
