Empower
your child with one of the world’s
most successful Maths program
About Us
Our Curriculum
Seriously Addictive Mathematics,
or S.A.M, is a Singapore based
Company focused on providing a
holistic maths enrichment program
for children. It is suitable for
pre-schoolers right up to primary
six (4 to 12 years old).
At S.A.M, your child will truly enjoy learning maths as we
journey with them into the world of numbers. Our program
places emphasis on the development of a foundational
understanding of mathematics, and its application in the real
world. Our program will help your child excel in maths and
give them a significant head start in maths at school.
We have a unique curriculum comprising of more than 30,000
pages of self learning worksheets which have been meticulously
and intelligently designed by a team of professional educators.
Our worksheets have been modelled primarily on the Singapore
Maths curriculum and pedagogy which is unique and
revolutionary in its approach towards the subject. It has garnered
accolades around the world and has been consistently ranked
as #1 in term of standards by Trends in International Maths and
Science Study, USA. (TIMSS provides international benchmark of
mathematics achievement for U.S. 4th and 8th Grade compared
to students in more than 60 other countries).
Our curriculum is divided into 3 levels.
As a guideline, the levels are organized
according to age.
We are expanding our
presence rapidly across
Asia and have been
recognized as one of
the most promising
SME Companies in
Singapore in 2013.

Our Program
The Worksheet Experience
Every child is unique in their ability to learn and the method in which they learn. At S.A.M,
we design a customised learning program that is specially tailored for your child. First,
we assess your child through our Proprietary Assessment Test to determine his/her level of
comprehension in Mathematics. Your child is then placed at a comfortable starting point
to build confidence and assimilate into our program. Over time, as the student - trainer
relationship is established, we further fine tune the program to maximise your child’s
learning potential in Mathematics.
We engage with children through The Worksheet Experience and The Classroom
Experience which forms the Two Learning Pillars of our program.
Worksheet Experience
Learning through Worksheets
Self Learning
Step-up Learning
Classroom Experience
Learning Through Trainer Interaction
Learning Through Props, Blocks
Learning Through Games
Multi-Sensory Learning
The Worksheet Experience engages
students individually in their own
designated time for study at home.
Self Learning
To cultivate the habit of self-learning,
worksheets need to be practiced
daily. This regime instills self-discipline
and independent learning habits
among children, both necessary skills
required in all manner of learning, not
just Mathematics.
Narrative & Fun
Our worksheets break down
mathematical concepts into easily
understood, bite sized pieces with
detailed narratives including guiding
instructions and examples before each
topic commences, which makes it
easier and fun for children to absorb
on their own with minimal supervision.
Step-up Approach
The worksheets follow a “step-up”
approach i.e. it usually starts off
easy but builds up to a desired level
of difficulty in small incremental
steps as your child becomes more
proficient such that your child can
consolidate the concepts and skills
learned before further developing
them. This ensures that the child has
a motivating and positive learning
experience which in turn helps them to
develop self-discipline, self-confidence
and perseverance in the process of
learning maths.
Modular
The worksheets are modular in nature,
which allows S.A.M Trainers to jump
around topics to suit each child’s
learning abilities.
The Classroom Experience
What is in it for your Child
These days, a student requires more than just Rote learning to excel in Maths. At S.A.M, we
focus on developing all the right skills and attitude required to excel in maths. We term this
as A Holistic Approach to learning Mathematics.
Learn all the right skills
The Classroom Experience, conducted
by Certified S.A.M Trainers, engages
students with dialogue, probing
questions, props, games and a healthy
dose of encouragement. The idea is
to make learning fun and memorable
through an array of interactive
experiences.
During this engagement,
the Trainer introduces new
concepts, discusses worksheet
corrections from previous
week and provides them
with lesson objectives for
next week. They also take this
opportunity to monitor the
progress of each child - how
are they coping with their
work, their rate of progress and
level of motivation. Qualified
S.A.M Trainers understand
that their role is not just to instil
Mathematical knowledge in
students, but to also inculcate
in them the right learning
attitude and self-discipline to
prepare them for the future.
Critical Thinking
Heuristics
Logical Reasoning
Learn to discern, hypothesize,
compare, classify and question
assumptions effectively. At
S.A.M. we encourage students
to think through a problem
rather than readily providing
them with solutions.
Learn to apply suitable
methods to solving problem
sums. There are always many
ways to solve a problem. We
train students to explore the
various possibilities and then
apply the most effective
method to solve a given
problem.
Enhance you child’s logical
process. Embedded in
our meticulously designed
worksheets are questions
designed to train you child to
think logically and intelligently,
and never to quickly assume a
pattern to a solution.
Metacognition
Modelling
Techniques
Word problems
Let you child build on his
knowledge and apply his
experience in increasingly
complex problems. We
designed over 30,000 pages
of daily worksheets with
a systematic ‘Step-Up’
approach, it usually starts off
easy, but builds up to a desire
level of difficulty eventually
as you child becomes more
proficient.
Learn how to solve complex
and baffling probem sums
through mathematical
modeling. At S.A.M, students
learn modeling techniques
to help them ‘visualize’ a
problem before tackling the
issues.
Learn how to understand
and interpret Mathematics
in real world application
through descriptive story
sums. All too often, students
get too bogged down with
mathematical theory and
formulae. At S.A.M., the
emphasis is on applications
in the real world. This makes
learning much more interesting
and relevant.
Cultivate all the right attitudes
Independent
Thinking & Self
Discovery
Confidence
& a Sense of
Achievement
Every student has the ability
to think independently, but
all too often, conventional
wisdom dictates that a student
must be ‘taught’ what to do.
At S.A.M. we ‘guide’ students
through our worksheets, which
have been designed for them
to self learn, rather than to
be told what to do. They are
free to express their creativity
in their answers and in the
classroom
At S.A.M, students quickly
learn to cultivate a sense of
achievement in completing
modules and topics. Our
individual approach to
learning means that students
learn within the comfort of
their own pace and according
to their own ability. Our trainers
are trained to encourage and
reward students whenever
appropriate.
Diligence &
Discipline
Diligience is always a virtue,
even for young learners.
With the S.A.M. Approach to
Mathematics, our Trainers work
with parents to encourage
and instill the discipline of
daily homework for a few
minutes everyday. Don’t be
too suprised at how even the
youngest learners at S.A.M.
take to our program positively.
