CMA Math - Discussion
-
Thanks for your comments. During my recent parents' meeting, the teacher told me:
\"He seemed puzzle on what is required, and took longer than the rest of the students to get the concept, which is unlike him. :idea: He then started to do mental calculation and used his own method to get the right answer, but we were teaching them how to use the number line..\"
I suspect that maybe because he's into multiplication & decimals now at CMA and thought there is another complex formula
Back home, I wrote him a question: 12+23, and asked him to show me using the number line teacher has taught him in school. He could do it. (phew!) When he got the answer, I asked him to use his mental arithmetic method to double-check, and he broke into an enlightened smile. -
My son is in CMA kovan since Apr this year..so far never see any difference yet but he is lazy in doing the sums..hope its common but teachers commented tat he is playful but yet able to do the sums..and hav gd memory so i also duno is gd progress or not?
And actually quite worried as i heard many parents mentioned before tat they mite get :? when they go to primary schools? -

Hi Concern2
Thank you very much. -
Personally, I feel that a child who is weak in mental sum, probably will also be weak in number line method. Example, 75+43= 70+40+5+3= 110+8= 118. Although breaking up the numbers into tens and ones seems less complicated to kids, they are still require to sum up the numbers mentally (70+40=110, 5+3=8).
Some parents feel that since primary school is allowing the use of calculators from P5 onwards, there is no need to worry whether the child is good at mental sums. Unfortunately, from P1 to P5 is a long way to go and for P5 exam papers, the use of calculator is only allowed at certain section of the paper, the rest of the section they will still need to use their brain. Relying too much on calculator may not be a good thing too, then they will be lazy to think. :idea: -
