Which was better for a first-grader to train his mathematical thinking and ape tutoring?

The child was in the first grade and wanted to apply for an online school starting from this year's winter vacation. He had already applied for Ape Tutor. However, after signing up, I saw the advertisement for Ape Tutor. It was all about oral arithmetic and quick calculation. I wanted to cultivate my child's logical thinking ability and mathematical thinking ability, as well as the ability to raise questions and solve problems. I planned to study long-term and did not want to learn calculation. Is there any parent who has been through it before who can answer it or is there any other agency that can recommend it?

Answer 1

Learning and Thinking and Ape Tutor were both well-known online education institutions that offered a variety of educational courses, including mathematical thinking courses. The quality and methods of teaching varied, and the decision of which one was better depended on the child's personal situation and needs.

Learn and Think Education was established in 1996 as an online education institution that focused on primary and secondary education. Learning and Thinking courses covered Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and many other subjects. They provided one-on-one, one-on-many, group discussions, and many other learning forms. The mathematical thinking course was suitable for first-graders to cultivate children's logical thinking and spatial imagination.

Ape Tutor Education was established in 2010 as an online education institution. Ape Tutoring's courses mainly covered Chinese, Mathematics, English, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and many other subjects. It provided one-on-one, one-on-many, group discussions, and other learning forms. Ape Tutor's mathematical thinking course focused on developing children's computational ability and logical thinking. It was suitable for first-graders.

The teaching methods and quality of the two institutions were different. They had to choose according to their children's situation and needs. It was suggested that they should first understand the curriculum content, learning methods, teachers, and other aspects of the two institutions before making a decision.
