Hi Jedamum,
Can I check what is a model ruler? Can I get it from Popular?

Thank you.

Popular bookshop should have...i saw them at Bukit Panjang Plaza Popular.

I have gone a few trips since starting July to popular Tiong Bahru - sold out, no re-stock yet.
Don't have fate to see or get my hands on the model ruler.

Do you know how much a model ruler costs? I'll ask my boy to get 1 from his school bookshop.
Only problem is if I ask him to find out, dunno if he'll give me a 'jack-up' figure to include price of ruler and his favourite model aeroplane (latest fab in his school).

Hi,

I was also afraid that my son will jack up the price, so I told him that I will call the school operator to make sure that he does not 'cheat' me.
$1-$1.2 is cheap, they are selling $1.5 at my DS's sch!

Hi ,


Can anyone share the pros and cons of Kumon and MPM? I am thinking of sending my son for either one to brush up his Maths—very weak.

DS was with Jelic (K2 level of MPM) and continue MPM for P1. MPM will have some \"toy\" for hands-on. Heard that Kumon is basically doing test paper after test paper and test paper ...
Why dont u chk it out w Kumon?

I sent my elder son to Kumon and stopped when he completed level G (algebra) when he was P4.

Kumon's method is building foundation in additions, substractions, multiplication and division and advances to the next level when a student clears the test for each level.

There are a lot of repetitions. The student will be doing the same set of worksheet till he passes the timing and accuracy of each level worksheet.
To me it is drilling till he can do add/substract/times/divide with minimum effort. It does not follow the school syllabus. No problem sum at lower level and very few at higher level, mostly mechanical computation of the 4 operations.

I did not have to worry about his 4 operations. I just taught my son the problem sum, making sure he understand the question and the technical part I left it to him.

Hi,


I also did check with Kumon with their teaching method, after knowing, I decide not to enroll my DD. Cos if I enroll my DD, I am afraid that I need to enroll some other maths lesson for the problem sums.

The Question show a face of a clock and instructed the students to tell the time using \"o'clock\" or \"half past\".

My question is,

- is \"half past 12\" acceptable or must it be \"half past twelve\"
- likewise \"3 o'clock\" or \"three o'clock\"

:?

hi tankee. i'd just be on the safe side and use the words instead of the numbers...
