Comparing Math Enrichment Programmes
-
Thanks alot for sharing about Formation Math and Science programs. Sounds great! Now only wish they had a branch nearer to me! Will keep in mind anyhow.
thanks again! -
May I know the differences between the two centers? Any parents can share?

Hello! I am quite new to this forum. I read some of the threads on maths. Appreciate anyone who has kids attending Kumon maths and MPM to give me advice n feedback please. I am looking for maths enrichment class for my kids who is 5 yrs old. Thanks!

I heard MPM a lot, but we didn’t use it. We used Kumon for a while. We liked it at the beginning. It helped her in math calculation skills. But over time, the benefit is no longer that visible and we feel more pressure on its monthly bills. Then DD’s teacher sent us to beestar for free online math programs, and we have been using it. All real life word problems, challenging stuff to help kids thinking. DD loves it! Plus, I also don’t have to drive her to kumon, saving my time and $$.

Hi there, thanks for sharing with me.
May i know what was your DD age when she attended Kumon? Any reason why you didnt sign her up for MPM?
I have a friend's kid gg to take the MPM assessment test next week.. am waiting for feedback. -
Hi elmo barney
I started Kumon for my DS2 when he was 4+. Besides wanting him to learn the basics counting/addition/subtraction etc, one of the main purposes is that i wanted to train his concentration skills as back then his teacher commented that his attention span was short and couldnt sit still in class.
Initially was q a struggle for him to do his daily Kumon homework but now he will auto take out his work and do by himself and I could see that he is v proud of himself that he can complete the worksheet by himself within a reasonable short time.
I didnt consider MPM then (I spoke to the teacher & looked at the materials) as I was more concerned of firming up his foundation (counting/addition etc).
However MPM may be interesting to some kids as their workbooks are colourful and they have creative tools to aid in their work/problem-solving. -

I just signed up for both but ->enopi is similar to mpm: both colorful wkbks, have manipulatives, are based on the child's pace
so different age children can be same class (can be an advantage if u re sending ur older plus younger children, save ur trip). but they do differnt bks based on their level and pace.
whether teacher attends to the child individually i think depends on the teacher. both same px too. $140 a mth
Epnoi is $140 for 4 lesson ($35/ea), each lesson is 1 hour only (call me on time to pick up the kid if I'm 10 mins late!)
MPM is $440 for 12 lessons ($36e/ea), each lesson is 1.5-2 hours.
Also, Enopi stuff is very easy and keeps repeating...
MPM teacher is very hands-on and tries to go for the more difficult questions and also when the child is very good at some parts, they will skip to go try the difficult questions. I prefer it so we don't waste time on the simple/basic stuff that my kid already knows and practices alot @ home.
For the above reasons, I prefer MPM anytime! -

I would think it will depend on the teacher at that particular centre how they can value add or guide the child

E.nopi is now known as Eye Level. Is there any difference in the teaching methods? Can anyone share?
