[quote=\"MrsKiasu\"]how do we get our kids exposed to some MO qns?can just buy any MO book from Popular and do it at own leisure? or must/better get a tutor/tuition ctr to decode/help kids understand the solution?

Not sure about other schools but for Nan Chiau, the kids who are stronger in Maths are offered MO lessons in school from P3. My son attended till P5 so do benefited a lot.

Oh ok..not sure if dd school has it but I guess only for the selected good ones if it has it ..maybe we buy from Popular to try. :thankyou:[/quote]
