Enopi and Mpm, do we get to take back the worksheets?

at close to $160/4 lessons (any additional material costs per term?), did anyone engage a private tutor to carry out similar activities (eg arithmetic and IQ work) in similar nature instead?
thanks!

My gals used to do MPM from K2 to P1/2. No, they dun get to keep the worksheets, only those maths tools (quality quite good).

Hi bebe,

I am curious. Since there are no paper materials for the students to keep, just the math tools, what/how can we do with the math tools?

My colleague who had her boy enrolled with mpm said all workbooks are returned to the school, just the math tools given to the kids. She said she didn't use the tools anymore after the lessons.

Curious … Why mpm so popular ? Good in what way?

boycott those centres that keep their own materials. Its amazing that in order to protect their own intellectual property, they have to take the materials back and this jeopardise the revision for young children at home.

Hi,


I am looking for good Maths enrichment class for my DS (P3), with good reviews e.g. something like Mrs Lee Math Tuition in Marine Parade.

Area that I am looking at: Pasir Ris, Tampines or Simei

Hope those of you who have experience could share or PM me.

Thanks in advance.

All questions are 'alive' meaning questions are changing. Why still clinging on those past worksheets? Get the concepts are more important.
For me, even get back those materials, also throw away. Wasting my space.

Hi Phtthp

hi I really need help!


can you recommend an enrichment centre? he is weak in maths, others subjects like eng and mother tongue r ok. recently he failed his maths, got 27/70 his 1st fail! he is only in p2 and its juz a neighbour sch. but I think the math std is not easy but still, some of his classmates can do better, like scoring 50/70.

he seems to have prob understanding the math q or concept, esp prob sums. what goes wrong, I really duno. we need to explain a few times, but sometime he still dun get it. he only has eng tuition but we intend to withdraw him fr eng class and enrol him for math class. we cant afford 2 tution in more than 1 subject.

can you recommend? I saw a few like cma , mind matter, mind stretcher...but dun really noe which is a better one... really need testimonial from you parents!
