Hi mommsie101,


You can get more information from Phtthp's post:

hi wan2bdad,

Yes! this month is the busy exam month, Term 4 approaching year end. Many mommies are very busy at home, helping children prepare exams & brewing 'memory' chicken herbal soup to help child remember facts well.

i think Mighty Maths is not bad, as it covers and teach our children 2 aspects - a) Foundational Maths b) Heuristic Maths. Mighty Maths teach by hands on approach first, then followed by practise colorful worksheets, to reinforce concepts.

most students usually do not have problem understanding Foundational Maths (FM). But some may, where Heuristic Maths (HM) is concerned. Majority schools start teaching HM from P2 onwards, although minority schools may start teaching from P1 Term 4 onwards. Hence, it is good that Mighty Maths cover Heuristic Maths portion as well.

to me, i feel one Maths enrichment is sufficient. However that mom you happen to meet where her child take 2 Maths enrichment - perhaps because her child happen to be in those schools where it is a norm to send kids to the The Learning Lab (TLL is very ex). Her mom worry that her child may lose out to her classmates, if she doesn't send her child to TLL practise those difficult mock exam papers. Not sure how TLL teach, does it have hands on approach first, before attempting worksheets next?

if you're keen, you may pay TLL a visit. Ask them to show you sample worksheets see what they cover - for that level you're interested in for your child (nearer the time when your child reach P1, P2, P3, etc). See how far off is it from Mighty Maths ? compare & contrast:-

- Syllabus (content covered),
- teaching style, approach or methodology adopted in class,
- Teachers to kids ratio per group,
- duration each session,
- any replacement lesson if child falls sick,
- any others.

every child learns differently. Choose the one that is most appropriate for your child. One Maths enrichment enough. Drop whichever you deem not so suitable.

in fact, too much enrichment makes your child tired.

on the contrary, there are kids who excel in Maths, without going for any enrichment.

Hello mummies,


I am looking for maths enrichment centre for my N2 girl. I cant seem to decide on Mighty math (at what level do classes start from), JEI / PSLE Math (Classes from N1), Mighty math, Maths Hub (Classes from K1) or even MPM.

My daughter attends a montessori school. So other than what she does at school, i dont do anything about maths with her. Can anyone advice what is should be looking for an a math enrichment? I am not too keen on abacus. what’s more important is understanding math concepts, rather than the speed. I know that abacus helps in other things like concentration, right brain development.

Can anyone here advice me on the pros and cons of the math enrichment centres i have short-listed? Thanks!
