Math makes the world go round, so it’s important to understand it at an early age. However, for many children, mathematics might as well be another foreign language. But with the right approach based on research, kids around the world can master math quickly and efficiently. Seriously Addictive Mathematics, or S.A.M, brings a proven and highly effective approach to learning math that will have your children conquering the power of numbers in no time. Seriously Addictive Mathematics Wins Best Math Enrichment Programme Established in Singapore in 2010, S.A.M is the world’s largest Singapore Math enrichment programme for children from 4 to 12 years of age, with S.A.M centres in 20 countries and counting. The S.A.M programme is based on Singapore Math, which is reputed to be one of the most successful primary mathematics curricula in the world, according to the TIMSS (Trends in International Maths & Science Study), since 1995. The S.A.M programme is differentiated by its emphasis on developing mastery through interest and understanding in mathematics instead of memorisation and drilling to chase grades. Its focus on curriculum and coaching enables children to develop a positive attitude and build a strong foundation in math to take on future challenges. The first S.A.M centre was opened in 2014 to bring Singapore Math to Malaysia. There are now 40 S.A.M centres in Malaysia. What We Love Math Understanding: S.A.M employs the research-based Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract learning approach, where children engage in hands-on activities using physical objects and visual aids to gain a true understanding of math. Thinking Skills: At S.A.M, your kids develop essential skills such as Critical Thinking, Logical Reasoning and Problem Solving to tackle math questions and prepare for future challenges. Coaching Approach: Instead of ‘spoon-feeding’ students, Certified S.A.M trainers use questions and lots of encouragement to help your kids explore, learn and build confidence in math. Math Mastery: Guided and independent practice using comprehensive worksheets developed by former school teachers lets your kids develop math mastery and good study habits. Personalised: Each child is individually assessed and prescribed a customised learning plan to learn at their own pace to make sure they master each topic before progressing to more advanced topics. Mums Approved “Charlaine enjoys the fun lessons at S.A.M and their heuristics lessons have honed her thinking skills. She can analyse and solve word problems and present her answers in a concise manner. I am very impressed that my 8-year-old child can solve tricky math questions without the need to memorise anything. The ability to understand how math works is very valuable and S.A.M has helped her to develop this skill.” - Mrs Elaine, mother of Charlaine (8 years old) “Jaydon was struggling with math and was reluctant to do math problems. S.A.M trainers take the time to help him understand and fully grasp each topic before getting him to attempt questions in increasing levels of difficulty. The dedication and passion of S.A.M trainers are unparalleled. My child has developed confidence and passion for math. It’s now his favourite subject!” - Mrs Janice, mother of Jaydon (10 years old) “Grace did not enjoy math, struggled with math thinking and lacked confidence. At S.A.M, the learning plan was tailored for her, the worksheets are good and the trainers are patient. S.A.M has helped Grace build up her math abilities and confidence. She has moved from middle band to top band at school and is excelling in math. S.A.M has shown her different ways to think about math problems and she is more positive in her approach to learning.” - Mrs Elena, mother of Grace (10 years old) Where to Buy There are 40 S.A.M centres in Malaysia.
