Classes start soon.........

I wish I could say that holidays last forever but unfortunately they do not. So my holidays end officially the day after the May Day weekend.

I look forward to teaching Mathematics to young kids again. Bread Clip Mathematics makes it so easy to teach them number concepts.

My god-daughter mastered concepts up to 100, a few months of Primary One syllabus, in just an afternoon when she was six years old. This godma here who just turned 50 was brain-dead. She, however, clamoured for 'more games'. To her, Bread Clip Mathematics was not school or lessons. It was just games, games, games.

So games they shall be. Which is what real studying should be. Play and learn. Learn through play.

All my equipment is ready - as good classroom teachers do their preparations way in advance before their holidays begin. The mini-whiteboards are cleaned and ready too. So is the classroom.

Because it is so important to monitor the learning of Mathematics from the very beginning, no written homework is given until the child is at home with the concepts and hands-on activities.

Mathematics is not just numbers. Kids' inate love for learning and Mathematics is often killed by zealous teachers and mothers who start Mathematics learning - the wrong way round, via abstract 'methods'. Indeed, the children should be handling and seeing Mathematics at work first, not read or count Mathematics off a flat sheet of paper.

Requests have come in whether parents can learn along. I organise separate classes for parents too, so that they understand the principles behind successful learning in Mathematics. Sometimes the parents finally get what they learnt in Mathematics class..... some twenty years down the road.

Drop me an email if you are interested to catch up on learning Mathematics using Bread Clip Mathematics. It is so important for kids to start learning Mathematics the right way, so that they will love slogging for the subject as they grow up.
