my son completed 1/2 of each book ( total 2 bks) in 1 hr, Is this reasonable?

Which books are your son doing now?

My son takes about 1 hr too...he's at book 29 and 30.

For both books total 19 pages he completed in 1 hr time.

Yes i know is not about speed but i rather have my boy complete all pages of 2 books in mpm classroom rather then bring it home to do. My son simply wouldn't sit still at home and he cannot concentrate if at home. I must have cane standby..........

Am not sure about what book - its SG075 & SG076. He did not start from 1st book. He's K2 now.[/quote]
Still complete class works within 1 hr?

How's your child coping?

Hi,

Are all MPM math teachers trained in MPM way? When i first approached MPM it was a much muture lady communicating with me + doing the 1st trial. After i confirmed to join the class, 1st lesson is by a young lady looks like either Uni or poly student. Anyone got such experience? I feel she does not explain much except tell student this number is here and this number is there and so it will ...... (the answer). She teach pretty fast and gives answer most the time.

Which centre?

I like MPM and think they have one of the better materials which are colourful and intriguing for the young. But that said, i think alot also depends on the centre/ teachers that teach the child. I have heard the teacher screaming at the child \" Quickkkkk, why you sooo slow\" in her broken Singlish and i was taken aback but DD said she was never recipient of that sort of treatment though it frightened her at first. To cut the story short, there's no doubt that the materials are fantastic but i do think that the owner of the centre have to make abit of effort to create a more condusive environment and also having more professional teachers to teach the kids. Afterall, the fees aint exactly cheap (SGD 440/term)

Which centre ?

Hie,

I am new here & would like to find out more about Jelic for my 4 years old.
Any information which you can share with me on the teaching of Jelic would be much appreciated.

Anyone able to share their experience with centres at Tiong Bahru, Orchard.....

hie,
only certain branches have jelic prg. TB br does not have jelic, only mpm.

orchard br is located at orchard plaza, the bldg houses tailor shops, beauty salons, wat appears to be nightclubs & so on...... i am not comfortable with the environment (i doubt teacher would be able to bring the kids to the toilet in the event they need toilet visit) also, plc is very very small, partition further into 2 rooms..... i visited the plc on early sat morning, bldg was quiet. being a sat, classes were quite busy & teacher seems to be quite hurried, overheard a teacher saying \"quick, choose a color... red or xxxx\" however the lady whom i spoke to, Yan Ling was able to explain to me quite clearly what the prog was about, despite the distraction of students coming in for lessons. She came across as a patient & nice teacher. However Yan Ling does not teach the weekday jelic class which i was interested in....

Which branches without Jelic?

Her daughter is 6 years old, K2 this year. Understand from her it's the Tampines branch. At CPF building.

I guess different centre has different style of assessing that kid. There are many types of kids ranging from ADHD, autistic, dylisic, average, below average, above average, gifted kids who are benefitted from MPM.

How can ADHD level be compared with the gifted level?

How much do you know about the programme? Can share your experiences?
