S.A.M enrichment centers are not tutoring centers. Tutoring centers are primarily focused on correcting a child’s specific struggle in a subject area, with the immediate goal to boost the academic results of that subject by using isolated teaching methods.

S.A.M is a learning center that focuses on an in-depth understanding and a meaningful application of mathematics in the real world. S.A.M uses the world-renowned Singapore Method for teaching mathematics to children. Some of the distinctive attributes of this method include the spiral or scaffolding method of learning, meaning each topic is mastered before moving on to the next.  Another is the Concrete / Pictorial / Abstract
approach (CPA), which promotes a tangible relationship between Math and real world.Other concepts are Number Bonds, which explores the different ways that all numbers can be broken down, and Bar Modeling, which explains the words problems visually and makes it easier to understand and solve.

This unique pedagogy promotes a holistic approach to learning mathematics.

Our certified trainers do their best to place your child at the right level for his/her learning ability. Your child may periodically encounter some difficulties with the take-home worksheets. If this is the case, it is best to advise the trainer of this struggle,instead of assisting the child to produce the correct answers. Highlighting difficulties to the trainer will allow your child to revise or revisit the topic, thus understanding the concept and promoting a sense of achievement.
S.A.M’s curriculum does incorporate an occasional challenging question. This is designed to test your child’s boundaries. With a healthy attitude towards learning,children embrace the opportunity and view this as a challenge rather than an insurmountable problem.

The S.A.M approach to mathematics instills discipline, responsibility and independent learning in your child. These real-life skills and habits lend themselves to day to day life and throughout other school subjects. The weekly guidance provided by our certified trainers gently steers your child in the right direction for learning, and provides encouragement and motivation as they journey into the world of mathematics.

Our program is designed for children ages 4-12 years old.

The cost may differ depending on the payment program chosen and specific needs of your child. It is best to contact your S.A.M center to set up an appointment to discuss the fees of our program pertaining to your situation.

The math topics taught at S.A.M do not differ from the school curriculum. What differs is the approach to teaching these topics. S.A.M teaches math using the world-renowned Singapore Method. The primary aim of the curriculum is to enable students to develop their ability in mathematical problem-solving; this is the heart of Singapore Math and S.A.M.
The provincial curriculum is based on a structured approach to teaching. The S.A.M program uses a spiral or scaffolding method of learning, which is to say that each topic is mastered before continuing to the next. Spiral learning allows for a more in-depth understanding of the topics being taught. Other features unique to Singapore Math include number bonds, the CPA method and bar modeling. These powerful teaching techniques are usually not used in the provincial school system. This is a perfect complimentary program with the existing school system.
