Math Monkey - Setia Alam Knowledge Centre
It seems that Faris needs some help from Math specialist to enhance and master his Maths technique for a better results this year. A decision is made based on his past year's result in standard one. After did some searching and discussion with hubby of course, we had decided to give him a new Math experience at Math Monkey located at Setia Alam Knowledge Centre. Brought him for his first Math Monkey class today, and everything went smoothly. Can see that he is enjoying his class with a smile on his face once the class session end. We always pray for his best... Insya-Allah :)
Fees are paid every quarterly (both for Math and English class). Yup, they have English class too. Fees include Registration, books, etc.
Math Monkey Class ~ RM550
(any additional siblings will receive 10% discount)
English Class ~ RM290
(as promised...latest update :)
While Abang Faris is learning Math happily in his classroom, Adik is spending some time at their waiting room :)
Math Monkey's main website is
Grab Math By The Tail
Math Monkey is a revolutionary new supplemental education services aimed at bridging the gap between traditional educations, whether public or private, and the true needs of tomorrow's leaders to succeed in the hypercompetitive global economy. By instilling a love of math in young children, Math Monkey will be able to nurture future generations of creativity and innovation.
Math Monkey is using a Technique called VEDIC MATH
Math Monkey’s curriculum is based on the mathematical techniques of Vedic Math . Vedic Mathematics is the collective name given to a set of sixteen ( 16 ) sutras ( or formulas ) stemming from the Vedic period from 1500 to 800 B.C. These sutras were originally written in Sanskrit and are build on the foundations of rigorous logic, thereby helping to guide and hone the human mind into approaches of logical reasoning. By mastering these sutras, student s are given numerous ways to work out a problem and many problems can be easily worked out mentally and quickly.
The sixteen sutras of Vedic Math are given in word form such as “By one more than the one before” or “Vertically and Crosswise”. They describe ways of using the mind, thereby giving direction to the mind, enabling the mind to solve mathematical problems from arithmetic to algebra to geometry to calculus and beyond. The most striking feature of the Vedic system is its coherence. The whole system is interrelated and unified, making math easy and enjoyable. The simplicity of Vedic Math means that answers can be obtained in one line or even mentally, encouraging innovation among its students. Bharati Krisna Trithai, who rediscovered the methods by dissecting the Vedic texts between 1911 and 1918, sub-titled his work “For One-line Answers to all Mathematical Problems.”
Through mental work, students progress faster in terms of mental agility, capacity to hold ideas in the mind and to remember past impressions, as well as developing flexibility on their methods of tackling problems including evolving their own strategies to meet new challenges. This mental development helps considerably in other academic areas as well as personal growth and self esteem. Mathematical constructs are mental entities constructed by the mind, so a system based on these natural mental functions is bound to be most efficient and pleasant to use.
KIDS ARE CATEGORISED IN MATH MONKEY TROOP
Troop Description
Green Monkey Troop (4-5 years old)
Specially designed to engage young learners in the art of math, our Green Monkey Troop will keep pre-schoolers active and give them a head start in number sense, reasoning and critical thinking.
Lemur Troop (6-7 years old)
This group of Math Monkeys will be challenged to build their mathematical literacy using mental workouts designed to improve concentration and begin developing the logical thinking necessary for advanced mathematics. The troop will also be taught to read analog clock and to recognize money.
Chimpanzee Troop (7-8 years old)
These growing Math Monkeys will be challenged to think mathematically and build logical and critical thinking skills using a carefully designed series of games and mental exercises. Children will become efficient in the early math skills needed to advance. The troop will also be lead to solve basic time and money problems.
Gibbon Troop (8-9 years old)
This group of young apes will be introduced to the many facets of multiplication with repeated addition, doubling, skip counting and nikhilam multiplication below 10. The tedious task of memorizing tables will be dispensed with. The young learners will also be led to tackle more complex time and money questions and word problems. We share our special methods with the children and provide them with a foundation to add and subtract without using their fingers.
Orangutan Troop (9-10 years old)
This group of intermediate Math Monkeys will build on their mental agility through the uniquely designed Math Monkey games and activities. Children will focus on mental techniques for speed and accuracy, as well as expand on the early math skills needed for advanced mathematics. The troop will use Nikhilam multiplication to discover that multiplication is a breeze!
Baboon Troop (10-11 years old)
The building blocks for more advanced math are piling up as Math Monkeys in this group begin to explore higher-order thinking in concert with their math instruction. Children will learn techniques for extending their basic skills including mental techniques for speed and accuracy among other compelling skills. Huge multiplication will be solved with ease. The troop will venture into advanced word problems and fractions.
Gorilla Troop (11-12 years old)
The experienced Math Monkeys in this group will continue to encounter the hands-on / minds-on activity based learning found at Math Monkey. Through both inquiry and modeling, children will get to experiment with more advanced Vedic Math concepts while continuing to hone the basic skills needed to succeed in advanced math and beyond.
