CMA Math - Discussion

Reading from CMS website, it seems that child needs to be able to write 1-10 before they can join the class...am I right?


My son is 3.5years old...when should I start? :?:

I think he can read 1-10, count 1-10...but I don't think he can write...

Hi, my girl started CMA around 5+, now she is k2. I don't mean to test her, just ask her to do some of the primary 1 math questions to familiar with the question format. She is capable enough use her mental sum to calculate addition and subtraction. Hope she will use her skill on buying food when she admit to p1 next year.

In case you need for referral, Here is my girl's detail:

CMA branch: tampines
Child name: Letisha Deng
student No.: SG0060062

Pls let me know if you need more information.

Hi Amy,

My son will be going for the pre-entry assessment this friday.
If all's good, i will sign him up.
Is it going to be difficult?
My boy can write numbers well. Not too sure if can handle the abacus.

Yeah its a good idea to provide him w this skill.. have not really thought about him buying things on his own! :roll:

Thanks alot for your reference!

:D[/quote]pre-entry accessment? My child didn't go through that, leh.
As long as the child know the number, it is all right to attend class. Actually my teacher told me that they prefer younger one than the primary school kids because their mind is more fresh, like a pieces of white paper.

amylqf,


Is the Tampines branch CMA good?

As this is the nearest to my place, so I didn't have chance to compare with other branches. They rent the shop house, as the business is getting better and better, I feel the space is a bit crowded specially during weekend. Other than that, I am ok with the teacher. When I raised my concern, they would always address to me face to face.

hope it helps.
