How is your son coping with CMA and the math in school? Does he get any form of confusion?

Hi parents,


there is a CMA competition in Jan 2010. Do you send your kids there to test their skills? I just enrolled my son April this year and his teacher said he can join the competition if he wants to. It was very rush and I have no time to talk to his teacher in detail, I was just told that there are 4 competitions per year. So if I want my son to join, he can go ahead. Any suggestions/advise here?

My daughter’s with TPY CMA, been there for close to a year (about 9 months), enjoying it and can see it really is helping in her mental sums. Only send her once a week, which I think is more than sufficient, just have to keep up with the practice at home. The group of teachers at TPY are friendly too.

wow, didn't know CMA has 4 competitions in a year, thought there's only 1 major one in a year. Think they have competitions over the internet, which is more frequent. I did comment on last year's competition which you may be interested to read up under a poll in this forum. I can't seem to find the page again, perhaps moderators can provide some kind assistance? Tks in advance


I asked about how primary school students cope with Math & CMA because my son's K1 teacher recently told me he is a little confused over 2 digit addition that she's teaching in school because they use number lines - different from CMA.

There are four grading exam in year for CMA and only one competition in year. You may refer to http://www.cma.edu.sg/news-calendar.php for the dates. I don't think that the kid will be confuse as I always tell my kid that school math is for you to show working that you understand the question while MA is meant for you to do or checking your answer in much faster pace than others. My kid is coping well and enjoy her classes. I heard that it help in brain development as well.
