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.

I agree whole-heartedly. I have been given and now I have been giving this same advice to many people.
What works for one child may not work for another so parents should understand their child and their learning style before just putting them with their friends. At the end, it will be a waste of time and money. Worse, the poor child that can't cope may end up losing self-confidence no thanks to the parents...

Hi, was wondering if any parent sends their child to MPM Toa Payoh? I intend to enroll my daughter but have not been able to contact them at their number this week.

Hi


Any parents sending their kids to tampines CPF building or pasir ris west plaza?

Is there a grading system at mpm? If there isn’t, how will parents know how we’ll their kids are doing and at which level they are at?

Please advise and Tia.

I’m still very confused whether to send my kid to MPM or normal tuition at Just Education Maths


He’s already in P1 and not too sure is it too late to enroll him? Seem like 5 years old is good age to start as to prepare for P1

Since already in P1, should just go for normal tuition which is in line with the school syllabus so that can score better for test or exams

MPM seem more like an enrichment and the kid already attend school for 5 days so it might be better to do something different as not to kill their interest.

Maybe proper maths tuition can come later at P3. Heuristic Maths seem good for P3 onwards

Anyway I will be going to MPM west plaza for briefing and find out more from the trainer.

Hi waynemum, are you also staying in pasir ris? I have been to west plaza for e preview. Mpm Mathis does cover p1 moe syllabus and on top of that the kids will be able to learn different concept and can improve on their thinking skills.

Yes.. I'm staying in Pasir Ris as well and my preview is tonight. I'm not sure whether at CC or west plaza will be better. I'm looking at lower ratio per student although I understand the ratio is 1:8 .. But I will prefer smaller class ratio.

Thanks for the assurance

Hi All,


I need some advice here. My son (K1) has been doing 3 books for every lessons since the start of the year. During his 1st lesson, he completed 2 books within 1 hr and I asked the school if they can let him do more? His lessons based on the MPM website is supposed to last for 2 hours ,thus I was out running errands so not near the vicinity of the school. Anyway, the school agreed and he has been doing 3 books but still clocking below 2 hours every since then. Just a few days ago, I’ve been informed that I have to pay for the "extra" books as my son is supposed to do only 2 books. Anyone has similar experience and can advise me on this? I was not told that I have to pay for the extra books as the website only states 2 hrs each week and I pay $155 for every 4 weeks. The back-dated books amount up to a significant figure. I’ve already paid for this month, but according to the new scheme, I still owe them.

Advise needed, thanks!

Hi Wind79

Your kid must be good to be able to finish so many books in 1 session!
Actually the trainer should have advised you earlier and you can decide whether to let your boy do 2 or 3 books

Generally the guideline is 8 sessions x 1hr and 8 books . So your kid will need to do 1/2 book as class work and 1/2 book as homework. If your kid can finish in 30 mins, he's free to go .. Likewise if he takes longer than an hr to finish 1/2 book, the trainer will not chase him away or hurry him.

The same theory applies to 4 session x 2hrs and it's 2 books per session and need to finish 1/2 book for each book and the rest for homework. Mummy can choose to pick the child earlier or let the kid stay till 2hrs to make use the money paid n let them complete the homework at home.

Bottom line: Classwork must be finish first n if complete earlier than stipulated time, the kid or parent can choose to let the kid stay longer.

I have not started my kid but I just went for briefing an hour ago and had asked the same question as I'm opting for 4 sessions x 2hr

Kumon works the same too.. The hours r just guidelines and it all depends on how fast ur kid can finish his work

Jelic program


In the Jelic program, after the child completes the activities using manipulatives in each box set, he will be given a worksheet which replicates the kind of activity involved in the particular box set. The entire Jelic program from Level 1 to 7 involves 450 box sets.

I have the entire set of Jelic worksheets (from Level 1 to 7) for sale. This would be good to take a look at the range of activities covered in the Jelic program

Please drop me a PM if you are interested.

Thanks.
