Math Monkey - Discussion

e3nity:

I was wondering if they teach money concepts like role playing.. eg pretend as seller and buyer exchanging $$?? :?

I've managed to check their website and enquired about it.. Guess its reali interesting.. will bring DS dwn for a assessment cum trial lesson..

Any parents brought their kids dwn for trial lesson b4?? do they hard sell??

Yeah, I was looking at the program flyer that they gave me and yes, some programs cover time and money. I know this is a game based program so the children play games while at the same time learn Math. They said the children play different games every week but I am not sure if there is role playing though....

Yeah, Math Monkey called me to go for a free trial last week but hubby outstation so I said wait for him to come back, then go together. Anyway, need to go and sign up my girl for their June Holiday Program. My girl said she wants to attend. I welcome any opportunity where my girl said she wants to learn Math! Better learn something during school holidays then stay at home and become a short sighted potato!

hey fellow mums! has anyone enrolled or tried out mathmonkey?? heard their new branch is opened in Novena and having opening promotion. my nephew just went for their holiday program and can’t stop talking about the games they played! and surprisingly they actually did reasonable amount of work too… hahaha

Anyone enrolled in the novena centre? My 4.5 year old went for the open house trial cum assessment on 12 Nov and enjoyed it very much. Til today still keep asking me why I did not sign her up. I only sat in for around 15mins of the lesson b4 parents are invited to another room to view a presentation of their programme. Throughout this 15mins, there is alot of interaction btw the teacher and kids and they are very eagar to participate in the activities and answer the questions teacher asked. No hard-selling at the end of the trial, they just ask you which timeslot you prefer and will notify you if there is any available class.

Hope this helps

Anyone can advise ???

My girl is with Math Monkey in Goldhill Centre. So far so good. Girl is enjoying. Class size is always small like can be 2 - 6 students.


Teachers there are helpful especially my girl is poor in her Math and I showed them the mid-year paper. They were more than willing to help her up after her class with Math Monkey. eg: another 20-30 mins.

Moreover, the price is not expensive considering their one term is 12 lessons not 10.

Hi sushigal


To compare MM to CMA i find it relatively expensive. CMA for 10lessons (1.5hrs/lesson) about $280 whereas MM charge 12lessons (1hr/lesson) $405. My gal has no prob going for CMA makeup lesson as they have many time slots to choose from while MM only allow 30mins for the makeup lesson and no other time slots to choose except to go 30mins earlier. If u work out the sums, MM is consider very EXPENSIVE le. Just my own opinion.
