Comparing Math Enrichment Programmes

[Celyw]

Hi,


I visited one of the MPM but am not sure whether it is the run down centre or the teacher but I concluded it is not very impressive even those workbook she shown me

anyway I will visit Enopi tomorrow to see whether it is suitable for my boy.

any other recommendation for math enrichment school for K2?

Heard that there is assessment in mpm maths. Do we have to pay and what is the assessment like? Is it useful? Thanks!

Hi 24hr-mum

U hv mentioned sakamoto, do u hv more information on wat they teaches, does it teaches quite similar to MPM or enopi? Do u know anything wat they teaches in K2? Now I hv trouble choosing maths enrichment for my DS.

Sorry for the trouble. Thanks.

mpm n enopi is more for preschoolers, in my opinion. mpm is spiral based, as in they mixed all topics together i think. its more creative n fun but enopi is more structured as its hierarchical , as in u finish 1-digit, 2-digit and 3-digit addition, then subtraction etc there is a list of levels n topics u can get frm the centre to see the progress. so progress wise its very visible. mpm i cant get overview of wat is being covered.

my boy benefits from enopi but lately i find they like to repeat the bklets 2 or 3 times whc i dont quite like cos i pay $140 a mth (same if its mpm), i expect something different each time. at least repeat only once will do.
but enopi is gd for the drill if parents dont teach any at home. if u still teach at hm, then u may expect more from the enrichment

i hv only explored bishan sakamoto. someone told me its good.
the real sakamoto mthd is done only in p4. but for preschoolers - p3, its teaching problem solving. gd in the sense its teaching problem solving n very relevant to moe syllabus n only 70 a mth. i m considering that too.
but the wkbks are just like tuition materials. but for my boy who is unteachable at home, i may give it a try. problem sums are not easy to teach to a young kid

We encountered the same issues with my pre-schooler.... So I understand what you mean.

I spoke to the teacher and she said that it's due to the Korean mgt style and they believe that they child should repeat until they are proficient. I shared with her my feedback and she said that she has feedback to them that they should let her move on and potentially revisit the weak areas iso doing the same thing over and over :x The child will lose interest.

I was open that if this doesn't improve, I will not hesitate to move my child.

hi MMM


ya, enopi did help my boy to hv a kickstart but if they keep repeatg, sometimes thrice the same bklet, i see no point why i must pay $35 per lesson. can repeat concept thru different bklet mah
