"Yes, it’s true that MPM do not take in students from the upper primary as the curriculum are design in a Spiral approach building the foundation of mathematics in young children before introducing them to more complex and challenging concepts. If students are not with us from young, they might not be able to catch up with the materials.

Moreover, MPM focus on regulating student’s thinking skills thru our PSL (Personalize System of Learning) training them at young age to solve problems independently. Progressively, a positive self-learning attitude develops in MPM-trainied students. Howvever, students at upper primary might not posses such learning attitude and they will expect answers or solutions to be spoon fed to them directly."

It is never too late to enrol your child. In fact, this is a nice time to prepare your child. Rest be assured that your child will not be confused. MPM Maths for P1 covered our local Syllabus. On top of that, we include Thinking Skills. This is very important other than calculations.

MPM math aims to improve confidence and inculcate independent problem-solving It trains children in Math concepts and calculation skills while promoting TRUE problem solving skills – children will be able to solve sophisticated Math problems using basic skills they have learnt. Progressively, a positive self-learning attitude develops in MPM-trained children.

I guess the MPM fee is ex right? Don't think AMK area has this course.

There are many factors to consider thou MPM is a better choice then abacus, money issue is the main cause.

But I'm willing to share with others should they have enquiries on MPM & abacus.. so, would appreciate if you able to share more.

MPM : Multi-Process-Model


This is a Mathematics enrichment programme that will cultivate your child’s thinking & problem solving skill. It also uses manipulative tools in their work.

As the upper primary students will soon be allowed to use calculator for their Maths paper, this means that students will not be tested on the calculations but the Thinking & Problem Solving Skill which many students are weak in.

Why is this so? I have personally observed that many parents are drilling their children instead of teaching concepts to their children. As a result, these children may be exam smart in a certain way but unable to look at things outside the box.

There are those, who no matter how hard you try to teach and the number of tuitions you gave and the result they got = ‘Fail’. This means that, normal tuition will not work. They may need step-up-step instructions to get it right and to learn at their own pace. MPM provides that.

For those who are very good and fast learner, MPM also caters for such students. That means the students can move on faster to a higher level as MPM caters to individual needs and differences.

For those who just simply hate to do Maths, will learn to like it as the books are not boring / dull.

Last year, my girl was in P1 and she did pretty well in her Maths. In P2, her Maths result dropped to 56. When I looked at her paper, I realised that a number of questions tested on the thinking & problem solving skill.

I sent her to MPM after my friend told me that her girl loves to attend MPM lessons. I was happly that she manged to get 74 for her SA 1 exam. I believed that she should be able to do much better in the final exam.

It would be good if you can attend talks or worksops to better understand some of the updates in our education system.


Come this July, there will be a workshop on the above. It is free.
However, it is not confirm yet.

Will let you know once I have more details.

Are you referring to the D'SEED Learning Centre that Ljas1370 was asking about? I was actually thinking of dropping by D'SEED this Sunday for a quick visit since I'm sending my 3yo daughter for her first (!) Chinese enrichment class there @ Everlasting Education in Katong Mall.

No. It will be conducted by the Director of MPM.
