ya. Me too. I'm staying somewhere near towner.. You?? My initial plan was to send him to Halifax but the long wait list just puts me off.. Sigh..
My tentative plan is oso to drop n fetch him myself now. But I've signed him up for 1/2 day first just to let him slowly get use to w/o his parents around.. Will convert him to full day once he is more settle..

GTGT:

Anyone with news on I-Maths ?

Hi GTGT, my daughter is attending iMaths.

iMaths is provided from nursery onwards. The workbooks are written in English but the course is conducted in Mandarin. Perhaps this is the reason why not many parents signed up for it as our pri maths curriculum is in English.

A check in the internet seems to suggest it's written by a UK professor. However, Mrs Patricia Koh mentioned some collaboration with Chinese professors in the annual seminar for PG parents last year.

Contrary to what I thought, iMaths is not about numbers only at nursery level. The bulk of the exercises are on whole brain training. I've attached a few exercises for your reference. I understand that number bonding will come into focus gradually in K1 and K2.

I'm happy with iMaths as I had problems teaching my DD Maths at home though we are doing well for languages. To avoid resistance to Maths, I left the teaching to iMaths. After iMaths, she develops a liking for Maths (which I nearly killed) and it increases her confidence in the subject too.

The only complaint I have is the teacher is reluctant to let me bring the workbook home after class. She explained that my DD is coping very well, so there is no need for further assistance. I felt that this is teacher specific as another teacher allowed me to bring the workbook home for some time. However, they do return us the workbook after it has been completed.

Statistics wise, there are 20 odd children in the nursery class. Most are from the full day class. There are 3 teachers in class, 1 teacher will be in charge of teaching and the other 2 will help out. The class for Serangoon branch is conducted on Thursday, 3-4pm. As my DD is in the am session, Ms Wee has very kindly allowed her to take a nap with the full day children before class, at no extra costs. Course fee is $80/mth.
