Emphasis on learning through CPA approach:
Concrete experiences -> Pictorial Understanding -> Abstract Representation
Based on the Singapore Mathematics curriculum
Activity-based classes
Small teacher : student ratio = strong teacher-student engagement
Over 30,000 carefully-crafted thinking worksheets combined with motivating and creative classroom experiences
Skill-focused: critical thinking, heuristics, logical reasoning, metacognitive understanding, modeling techniques and analyzing situational word problems, among others
AWARD-WINNING CURRICULUM
Singapore Maths is one of the most successful Maths programs in the world since 1995, according to studies conducted by the Trends in International Maths and Science Study (TIMSS). The award-winning Singapore Maths curriculum and pedagogy at SAM is unique and revolutionary in its approach, and is arguably the most relevant enrichment program available today for school going children in Singapore.
CUSTOMIZED LEARNING FOR YOUR CHILD
SAM modules can be tailored specially to suit your child through an assessment and calibration process that is thoughtfully prescribed by a qualified SAM trainer. Learning is based on your child’s individual ability and needs, rather than through group learning by topics. This targets the weak areas in your child, and accelerates learning in topics your child excels in. SAM modules can also be tailored to prepare students for examinations, for PSLE and for the advanced preparation for Primary School Mathematics to give your child a head start.
The SAM program is designed to introduce new concepts in incremental steps to ease your child into learning in a fun and experimental way. (We are serious about making mathematics more addictive for your child!)

As parents we recognize that mathematics is a core subject that children should do well in. Getting your child to excel in Singapore’s mathematics curriculum, however, is a challenge because without a core understanding of fundamentals and the pre-requisite thinking skills, solving word problems can become difficult, and therefore a turn off to many children.
Excelling in mathematics in school today isn’t just about rote learning or repetitive practice with speed and accuracy. Our students today require much more.
Since the 1980s, schools in Singapore have been changing the way elementary math is taught in school, shifting away from rote learning to focusing on analysis and problem-solving in real world situations.
Nowadays, children need to be equipped with analytical, problem-solving and critical thinking skills. For instance, children need to question assumptions, dissect complicated problems, and communicate solutions effectively.
Many parents struggle to help their children with mathematics at home simply because they were not taught math the way it is being taught in schools today. Furthermore, many enrichment centres and even tuition centres are still focusing on drill and practice rather than honing thinking skills and building the right foundations for children, when it comes to teaching Maths.

SINGAPORE’S MATHEMATICS CURRICULUM: ONE OF THE WORLD’S MOST SOUGHT-AFTER
Did you know that the Singapore’s mathematics curriculum is one of the most sought-after curriculum in the world?
The OECD (Organisation of Economic Co-operation and Development study) has ranked Singapore top in mathematics and science among 76 countries. This result is from combining the latest test scores from the Programme for International Student Assessment for 15-year-olds (2012) and Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study for 14-year-olds (2011).
Since the ranking countries’ competitiveness in math literacy started in 1995, Singapore has consistently been ranked among the top.

TESTIMONIALS
“My son looks forward to S.A.M every week. He finds the activities and word problems in the worksheets very attractive and engaging. With S.A.M coaching, he became more focused, organized and disciplined in his learning within a short period of time.
He loves to work with his S.A.M Trainers and is very motivated by their patience and encouragement. The S.A.M approach has given my son not only a strong foundation to excel in Mathematics but also inspiration and love for mathematics.”
Mrs Tan Lay Hong, Teacher, mother of Tan Hong Zhao, 6 yrs old
“I like the fact that the S.A.M program is catered for preparation of the Singapore Mathematics syllabus. Also, as the progression is based on individual ability, it has allowed my 6 year old to progress to Primary 3 Level mathematics in a fun and interesting way. He now comprehends the words and phraseology in word problems easily.
The problems are also set in a myriad of ways, so he is taught to be flexible in finding the solutions. For my younger child, the colours and pictures were exciting and was critical in encouraging her to pick up the homework habit happily. I am hope that she will soon follow in her brother’s footsteps.”
Joey Wong, In-House Counsel, Mother of Hong Wei 6, and Mabelline, 4
“My daughter used to merely memorize maths. Now, she comprehends and understands concepts and fundamentals so much more, thanks to S.A.M. The program truly transcends beyond just rote learning, and every skill she learns is relevant to Singapore’s school syllabus.”
Regina Low, Business Owner, mother of Low Qing Fang, 6
“Before my son joined S.A.M, he had totally no knowledge about mathematics and no interest in counting. After less than a month of S.A.M, my son could perform addition independently, and he is now learning subtraction.
He has also built a lot of confidence in mathematics. He enjoys every lesson in S.A.M, as the teachers are very friendly, patient and passionate in their teaching. S.A.M’s Achievers Program is also part of the attraction to motivate my son to work harder.
I have no regret sending my son to S.A.M, and I thank S.A.M for helping my son to build such confidence in Mathematics.”
Chloe Sng, mother of Jonathan, aged 6
