POLICY
Enhance the mathematics academic
achievement by interpreting the
existing (KBSR & KBSM) syllabus using
the five pillars approach.
Five Pillars in
Teaching and
Learning

PROGRAMS
 FOR
PRIMARY
SCHOOL
 ABACUS
MENTAL
ARITHMETI
C (AMA)
 A great tool for
teaching other
base numbering Teach children
systems since it simple mathematics
easily adapts and especially
itself to any base. multiplication.
 Abacus education enhances
progress in various abilities.
Scientific analyses have
demonstrated the effectiveness
of abacus training in improving
the following six abilities:
 Ability to
concentrate
(Concentration)

Ability to
Ability to
listen and read
visualize and
quickly (Speed
to be inspired
reading and
(Inspiration)
listening)

Ability to
process Ability to
information memorize
(Information (Memorization)
processing)

Ability to
observe
attentively
(Insight)
MOKHDAR
METHOD
 A very simple method that
will produce the
extraordinary power of
memory input into the
mathematical core of
important ideas in science
and mathematics, and
produce extraordinary
access to input
mathematical and other
input stored in the mind
