You should have the materials with you for 2 wks. The first wk is when your child brings it home to complete the bk. The teachers will return the bks when they completed marking and you will bring it back to them during the next lesson.

:?
So far we only get to keep the books for 1 week.
DS will bring the 2 books back, work on them, and hand them in
at the beginning of the next class....and that's it! We don't see
them coming back to us again. That's why I made sure I looked
through DS' work before the books are given back to the centre.

Perhaps each centre has different practice?
My DS is in the Bishan branch.

Hi bigdevil, where is the bishan br? I only know of one bishan br but it closed/moved off already. Not sure where they have moved to.

HI


What does MPM lesson looks like? From what I read they complete booklets? Dp everyone in the class complete same booklets or depending on the child's ability? Do the teaccher teach a certain topic first? use of manipulatives? How abut class size? I just need to have an idea how the lesson proceeds before signing up for Ds as he works best in certain conditions only cos of his special needs. Thx u.

Better to visit any centres near your home rather than hear say.

My son is in K1 and was told by Tampines CPF branch to sign him up for Jelic and move to MPM when in K2. My son joined in Mar'13 and loves the class so I'm ok with it. Just spoke to the teacher in charge and apparently its better to build a strong foundation with Jelic before moving to MPM.


As Jelic and MPM is more on maths concepts and logic. Do I still need to send him to Abacus class? I've read the forum on Abacus training but still worried that my son might be confused when enter P1 with abacus. Any thoughts?

Abacus is good for mental calculation.
It will help in the calculation skills but not problem solving skills.
It's good to let your K1 child try out since he's still so young. Give him exposure if budget is not a concern.

So mpm is better than CMA?

Every programmes have their strength. It depends on what you want your child to pick up. Better you visit the centres and view their materials before you decide which programmes suits your child's needs.

don’t understand why only listen to ‘hear say’. Try out your own.


Different kids different development. A mother who has intelligent kid will gives different testimony from a mother who has a lazy kid.

Cannot compare mah. Some even cannot cope with easy questions.
