How To Double Math Grades & Sharpen Next Level Critical Thinking Skills...

Upgrade Logical Reasoning & Creative Problem-Solving Skills With Singapore Math—Guaranteed!

Canada's only problem-solving supported curriculum

Learn to understand and interpret mathematics in real world situations through descriptive stories. All too often, students get too bogged down with theory and formulas. With Singapore Math, the emphasis is on applications in the real world. This makes learning much more interesting and relevant.

#1 globally ranked

The most reputable studies in education (TIMMS & PISA) continually rank Singapore as having the most successful national math curriculum in the world.

Hands-on personalized lessons

Kids learn at their own pace through an individual based step-up process that is thoughtfully prescribed by a certified Singapore Math instructor. Maximum 3 students per educator for in-person lessons.

Learn the "why" before the "how"

The C-P-A (Concrete, Pictorial, Abstract) pedagogy Of Singapore Math emphasizes meaningful understanding of core math concepts over rote memorization and drilling.

Heuristics

Apply appropriate methods to solving problems, There are always many ways to overcome a challenging math question. We train students to be flexible thinkers and explore various possibilities before applying the most effective methods to problems.

Modelling Techniques

Solve complex and baffing problems through mathematical modeling, Singapore Math teaches modeling techniques to help students visualize and discover insights to penetrating hard problems. Various teaching aids and manipulatives are used to allow students to "do" and "see" the math.

Thinking Math Is Our Specialty

With the increasingly competitive environment of higher studies, a student needs more than just rote learning to excel in math At S.A.M, we focus on skills such as Critical Thinking, Heuristics. Logical Reasoning, Metacognitive Understanding, Modelling Techniques and Situational Word Problems, amongst others. Collectively, we term this a Holistic Approach to learning Mathematics.

From the way instructors engage students in the classroom, to the way questions are phrased and how solutions are presented in our Thinking Math Worksheets, we adopt this Holistic Approach. By the end of our program, S.A_M students will be prepared with an array of skills to confidently embrace future challenges in the world Of numbers.

Relevance is Our Philosophy

These days. mathematics is not merely about addition, subtraction, multiplication or division. It's not merely about calculus, factors, square and square roots. Save that for the calculator.

Instead, mathematics in today's world is about percentages, geometry, measurement Of time. money, speed and dimensions. It is about analysis of graphs. tables and ratios.

These real world mathematical applications should form the syllabus of schools to stay relevant and to train our children to solve real life problems. Take a 100k at our S.A.M framework and you will know what we mean. At S.A.M, Our lessons and worksheets are designed to stay truly relevant for the future.

What Parents Say...

Frequently Asked Question

The S.A.M Approach to Mathematics combines the benefits of personalized training with the discipline of self learning and self discovery. At every step of the way, be it during class or when your child is doing homework, The S.A.M Approach is designed to introduce new concepts in incremental steps to make learning easier. During class, our qualified S.A.M Trainer introduces and explains the concepts and the lesson objective. Corrections from previous homework are also discussed and explained. Your child then reinforces and applies this knowledge on his own at home through our meticulously designed daily worksheets.

Think of The S.A.M Approach as an amalgamation of Worksheets based self learning, and Classroom based guidance and coaching.

Certainly so. The S.A.M Approach to mathematics is based on the Singapore Mathematics curriculum, which ranks highest in terms of standards since 1995, according to the TIMSS survey (TIMSS 2012 International Benchmarks of Mathematics Achievement 4th Grade).

Mathematics as you know, is a universal subject. The fundamentals remain constant whichever country maths is taught. However, apart from fundamental mathematical knowledge, The S.A.M Approach also cultivates life long skills in terms of critical, meta-cognitive and heuristic thinking, problem solving, self learning and self-discipline, amongst others.

The S.A.M Approach inculcates discipline, responsibility and independent learning within your child. These are life skills and the same habits are likely to benefit your child in other school subjects as well.

The once a week guidance provided by our Trainers gently steers your child in the right learning direction and provides encouragement and motivation, as they journey into the world of mathematics.

Most of all, whatever your child learns at S.A.M, you can be assured of its relevance to your child’s school math curriculum and even to his future years as an aspiring adult. One is never too young to attain life skills and relevant knowledge, especially so when they are having fun doing it.

During class, your S.A.M Trainer reviews all mistakes made from the previous week’s homework, explains the correct methods, and corrects the work to ensure that your child understands the source of their mistakes. The S.A.M Trainer then hands out a new set of worksheets, and explains the objective of the homework and the new concepts that your child will be learning during the week.

This is the time when the Trainer bonds with and motivates your child to learn effectively. Often, Trainers will use props, games and learning tools to enhance the experiential learning experience. All SAM Trainers use the Problem Based Approach (PBL) and Concrete/Pictorial/Abstract Approach (CPA) in teaching students.

There are children who crave homework from as young as 3 years old simply because they enjoy thinking, and of course, there are also those who don’t. However, through positive encouragement, most children are able to adapt to the program quickly.

It helps greatly if the parents are equally involved in encouraging and inculcating the homework habit. Children benefit greatly from devoting some time daily to thinking and self learning. It shapes their learning behaviour positively for the future.

Most children can count before they can write. Some begin counting as early as 2 years old, but most begin by approximately 3 years old and some even later. The ability to count can be nurtured. The earlier they learn to understand the world of numbers, the earlier they make sense of a lot of other things around them. This is why many people associate this ability with intelligence.

It is important that children get their foundations right from the beginning. Counting by memorizing, for example, can only lead to problems later as numbers get more complex.

Our qualified S.A.M Trainers do their best to place your child at an appropriate level according to his/her ability. This is never a precise science and children display varying levels of aptitude and ability with different topics. As a consequence, your child may now and then experience difficulties when doing their homework.

In such instances, it is best to reveal these difficulties to our qualified Trainer when they attend classes, rather than to do the work for them. When homework difficulties are highlighted, we will revise the topic with your child and if necessary, repeat the topic in question.

In any case, however, The S.A.M Approach to Mathematics always incorporates the occasional challenging question to test the boundaries of children. With a healthy attitude towards learning, children view this as a challenge rather than as a problem.
