MPM Maths - Discussion

[LittlePrinz]

Hi there


I just enrolled my girl in MPM. I noticed that they have a few different trainers. May I ask how to out if the trainers are certified? I want to make sure they are not just any part timers trying to fill in when the actual trainers are not available. Any adv is much appreciated. Thank you.

Hi my girl is currently with sakamoto since Apr this yr. She is now P1. However she still hv difficulty in problem solving. I am not sure whether I should switch her to MPM ( nearest buangkok MRT).


Understand fr sakamoto thru this forum that sakamoto will not start their method teaching when the child is in lower Pri. Currently they combined Eng and Math in P1 lesson. Sometime her teacher will juz do Eng when she does not hv sufficient time to do Math. They are not fully doing math in 2 hrs duration.

Can anyone pls advice? TIA!

MPM Woodlands at Civic Center just changed management again! Not a good sign. Anyone has any kids with them? How do you find them?

My boy has been with them since they first changed to Teacher Sandy and yes, was dissappointed.

I'm thinking of switching as the new person seems very impatient with difficult children and showed it with his mannerisms.

Hi, like to check, for kids that complete the full Jelic program, usually at which MPM booklet number will they start? I know they do an assessment prior to that, but just like to have some rough gauge…


Thanks.

My elder girl is with MPM for almost 3 months. From the worksheets she brought back, I find them more on creative thinking rather on solving Maths problems. Recently, I let her did some simple Maths questions and she don’t really understand Maths concept well. Am so worried as she will be entering P1 next year. This really doubts me putting her in MPM as I have seen so much good comments from here. Or am I overly anxious since she only been with MPM for 3 months?


Need advice whether to continue!

Thanks

My boy joined MPM math centre at the begining of this year when he started P1. He was weak in subtraction and problem solving. After being there for six months, his math improved a lot. From just pass to the top 3 in class.To be honest, the math taught in MPM is better than school especial model drawing and creativity thinking math. It build a strong foundation for them which i don think school math text book really drill into it. Should not be an issue for your child going P1 since she started so early with MPM.
