UCMAS Mental Math School, anyone?

Early Learning Teaching Your Child Math
1

I am wondering if anyone has enrolled their children to UCMAS. There are a few locations close to my house.
Does the program work? How do you like or dislike it?

They are accepting students aged 4-13. My son is only 3 but if this is a good mental math program using abacus, I would like to prepare him for this school when he turns 4.

Thanks,

From what I was told by an colleague of my husbands from Egypt, UCMAS has branches all over the world. Did you see their main website?: http://www.ucmas.com/

If we lived near a center, I would enroll children. However, since we don’t, we will use an at home program and software with my children.

Please let us know how it goes if you enroll.

Yes I will share my experience if I enroll my son to their program.

Hi Mae_Jakob_Ka,

I’ve met the founder of the program in Canada a few years ago. From what I know, his program is designed to teach abacus from addition to multiplication over the course of a few years and then you graduate the program. I dont know if thats what you’re looking for but Soroban can be so much more than just a way to learn the basics of math.

Take a look at this video to see an example of how “good” someone can get.
