5. Why is there a need to perform a diagnostic test upon
enrollemt?
The program has 40 books in a year. We need to assess the
mathematical ability of the child before deciding on which level of
entry is suitable.

We focus on bridging an individual childs learning gap in
Mathematics instead of a one size fits all approach.

6. What is the purposes of the hands on activities?
Other than computation skills in the learning of Mathematics, there
many other thinking skills, as stated earlier that are important.

The activities are a series of structure games to motivate the
students to play or work on such that the various thinking skills
can be acquired.

7. Are the number of pages in the books sufficient?
Over-emphasizing on procedural skills without understanding the
underlying mathematics principles (rote learning) will kill interest in
the learning of Mathematics.

The number of pages in the books are sufficient to achieve
optimum learning in the child.

8. How can my child learn if there is no white board
teaching?
Students do not learn to think better by simply hearing correct
answers or passive teaching from the Instructor. They will only
think when the Instructor ask them a question.

Though our questions posing techniques, students discover and
explore mathematics concepts, develop interest and confidence in
solving Mathematics problems.
