Comparing Math Enrichment Programmes

[aqeqiq]

moonee:

My girl is in p5, I missed the on sponge holiday classes last yr, if it's the heuristic method their using, wouldn't mathsheuristic at gold hill b equally good?

I cnt decide which holiday class I should let my girl try as she will b in p6 next yr n no time to try out too many centers next yr.

I have only used their p4 asst book. The methods they use are primarily model, units and branch as far as I can see.

Hi Kay22,


Can I find out more about OnSponge tuition, as in how is your child benefitting from it? I called up the centre and they told me they do not cover Section A which is a bit of concern for me. How long does it take to see the improvement in grades for your child?

Hi JL-NG

Yes, OnSponge tackles mainly Paper 2 questions which carry the bulk of the marks for whole paper. So far, I can see that my child is handling these questions faster and using the correct method. Though both myself and my child have a shock beginning of this year due to the huge gap between P4 & P5 maths, now I can see that my girl is more confidence and still maintaining her \"A\". We hope she can move up to \"A*\" by mid of P6.

Appreciate yr advice :

1. Do your Onsponge tutor use their Onsponge bks to teach?

- If yes, can parents buy their books online & self-teach the children instead?

- Does yr tutor give yr child additional materials to practise/work on?

2. Which centre is yr child at?

3. What is the max no. of students per class?

Hi hi...

My answers to your qns:
Q1) Sometimes, the tutor will use their Onsponge Assessment book. You can buy it online but for me, I do not really know how to teach based on their book. So I prefer to send my DD to lesson to learn instead.

The tutor mainly provides additional notes to teach and yes, he will give them extra exercises to do which he compile himself, not from the book.

Q2) My child is at Yishun branch.

Q3) Max number of students per class is 8.

Hi kay22,


Thanks for your reply. My girl is currently with another tuition centre for 2yrs and her grades are dipping from 70s to 50s (recently from her CA2). This is very worrying for me as she moving on to P4 next yr and its going to be tougher. I am now considering OnSponge and hope I have make a right decision.

Sorry, another question. You mention there are notes given by the tutor. Are they formula /strageties as a guide for easy reference?

Hi hi... the notes are not a lot though. Just some of the explanations, e.g. on Angles, what are the different types of angles, etc...
