CMA Math - Discussion

[JSC]

Tks ksmummy. Will probably bring my son to Kovan centre for assessment this Saturday morning.


My son is in K1 this year turning 5 next week. He seems to like mathematics so would like to send him and see whether he enjoys and benefit from it.

Currently he is attending I Can Read Stage 1 and Seimpi Encore music class.

He seems to enjoy both but will not automatically do reading or play the keyboard by himself.

For the I Can Read class, he was just promoted from PRP to I Can Read (Stage1) 2 months ago and the change is very drastic. PRP teaches them to try to blend a word and do writing as homework but I Can Read give spelling and comprehension with passages/stories to read . Getting stressful and looks like he is not ready for it. Might want to defer him to few months later.

Anyone got similar experience to advise ?

Tks,
JSC

No Prob, JSC.


My son is currently attending art lesson at NAFA as well. He has a very keen interest in art and craft. I am thinking of signing him up at Tony Buzan Learning Centre at Hougang Mall next year. Am more interested for him to learn ‘how to learn’, rather than focusing too much academically.

Appreciate any review on Tony Buzan Learning Centre.

TIA!

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!
