How and why did we come about?
Singapore Maths Club is the brainchild of Luan Collisson, an ex-educator from Singapore, former corporate employee turned entrepreneur. The Club was created out of a firm belief in the Maths program from Singapore and a passion to bring its proven benefits to more children in the US by making it more readily available. Not just in the private schools.
What is SMC?
Established 8 years ago in 2014, the SMC program was designed as a 40-week program that encompasses the topics taught at each grade level in the math curricula in Singapore. Our mission is to make learning math fun and intuitive especially to young learners i.e. to “Make Math Come Alive” for them.
What makes SMC unique?
The SMC program is carefully crafted from materials from Singapore. It continues to evolve over the years based on our observations on what well with students as well as what present challenges. We include the feedbacks from students, instructors and parents to modify the methods of instruction, develop new techniques and intuitive strategies to target and prioritize different areas of learning.
SMC program continues to include increasingly more complex materials to keep up with the demands of our students as they become more confident and accomplished math students. Most of them stay with the program and progress to the next grade level year on year.
We are motivated and challenged by their successes in math in schools as well as by the transformation in their approach and attitude towards the subject.
