Conceptual Foundation to Mastery

Mum, I Don’t Understand,
I Can’t Do This

At Seriously Addictive Mathematics (S.A.M), we know children learn math better when they truly understand the concepts before learning the procedures. Our multi-award-winning S.A.M thinking math program has helped children not only to excel in math but also to develop thinking skills and problem-solving skills to prepare them to take on future challenges.

Established in 2010, S.A.M is the world’s largest Singapore Math enrichment program for children aged 4–12, with more than 200 centers in 20 countries and counting.

Why do Parents Choose S.A.M.?

We don't just teach math; we teach thinking

Using a Socratic coaching method, we help students find the answers themselves, building lasting confidence.

We fit your child, not the other way around

Our program is individualized to their pace, ensuring they master every concept before moving on—never rushed, never held back.

We are proactive, not reactive

We actively engage your child to guide their learning. Unlike typical centers, we don't passively wait for a hand to be raised; we constantly check for understanding to ensure no student flies under the radar.

We prepare them for the future

From our two-pillared approach (discipline + independence) to helping them qualify for Accelerated Math in school, we build the foundation for high achievement.

Mother of 9 and 11 year old

I looked into a few math enrichment programs for my elementary school aged children and liked SAM the best. I especially liked the fact that kids do their work on paper, not on tablets. Singapore math is more intuitive way of teaching math.

S.A.M Two-Pillared Approach

The Proven Path to Mathematical Excellence

At Seriously Addictive Mathematics (S.A.M), we take pride in our unique approach to math education—the Two-Pillared Approach. This innovative method complements traditional learning by blending hands-on Classroom Engagement with Comprehensive Worksheet Reinforcement. By intertwining these pillars, we ignite students’ passion for math while nurturing their mastery of mathematical concepts.

Research has shown that children aged 12 and below learn better when they have close adult supervision and tactile activities. This is why we have designed our class size to be small and trainers have one-on-one time with each child.

We use the Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract approach to help students understand an abstract subject such as math.

Created by a team of former Singapore school teachers and textbook publishers, S.A.M worksheets’ tasks are comprehensive, varied and incrementally advanced, so that learning is kept challenging yet achievable, to keep children motivated.

Through guided practice in class and independent practice at home, children develop mastery in math, problem-solving and thinking skills, self-discipline and good study habits.

9 Levels Of Math Mastery Worksheets

We use a comprehensive diagnostic assessment to pinpoint the topics a child has mastered and the topics the child needs more support with. Then, we prescribed a personalized learning plan tailored to each child at their own skill level and pace, because no two children learn alike.

In addition, we use the coaching approach with probing questions and a lot of encouragement to help students explore, discover and build confidence towards math.
