CMA Math - Discussion

[friendship]

financially can afford, enrol the child 2 maths enrichment on parallel basis CMA and MPM. Guess what? the child will dislike MPM because MPM emphasizes on Heuristic, Maths Olympiad , word problems, draw model drawing, many more concepts require visualisation and logic skills.


CMA is good for ‘calculator’ skill, in which at P5 and P6, the students are allowed to use calculator in paper 2

Which branch is your son in :scratchhead: ? Maybe other parents could provide you with some recommendation of teachers. Change to a class of non china teacher, solve the problem.

Hi


Anyone know between Kumon and CMA , which is the recommented Math enrichment for a 5 year old ? So many tuition centre , very confusing !!

:frustrated:

[phtthp]

depends on individual child. depends on your child. Every child is different.


some kids love CMA - find it challenging, fast pace. They hate Kumon, find it drilling.

however, the other way round also occur. These kids much prefer Kumon step by step way of learning systematically. They dislike CMA doing tedious, repetitive work.

I am quite puzzled how cma can have on-going classes where you can join anytime, students with diff progress in the same class? Can anyone please enlighten me how this work? Thanks

I would like to know if it is normal for your kid to make 3 to 4 mistakes in their abacus practice book for every 10 questions.


My DD1 is grade 8 for abacus and grade 6 for mental, she can do very well for mental but not abacus. For her abacus book, there is always at least 3 mistakes for every page.

My DD2 is grade 9 for abacus, she is starting to have the same problem as well.

Any comments on this? How to improve?
