Comparing Math Enrichment Programmes
-
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. -
my friends say heuristic questions form only 1% or few percentage of psle paper, so she prefer mainstream tuition that touch on majority type of questions…

My dd is currently with OnSponge for almost a year (started beginning of P5). So far, we are happy with OnSponge as they teach the kids on identifying the correct methods to handle different kind of questions in a faster way. They do not rely strictly on modelling but other methods as well. Ultimately, their aim is to help the kids to use the fastest way to tackle the questions, not forgetting that the kids are competing with time during their exams… Though questions in PSLE do not seems to reflect totally on Heuristics questions, but the kids must know the heuristic methods to solve the questions.

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

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-NGHi Kay22,

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. -

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? -
eh side track a bit, any feedback on mathheuristic?
