We Teach Effective Problem-Solving Strategies and Cover Real-World Problems
Many schools that follow the Common Core Math curriculum don’t focus on developing problem-solving skills until the last few years. That may be one of the reasons why more than 35 percent of teens consider math to be the most difficult subject.
At Singapore Maths Club, we believe teaching students problem-solving strategies while they’re young is the key to building a strong foundation. Using pictorial representations and concrete examples, we make math easy to understand and relevant to everyday life. In turn, students are excited and motivated to learn more. Take a look at some of our key areas of focus below.
Computation Techniques & Strategies to Enrich Young Minds
The Singapore Math Enrichment curriculum places a strong emphasis on computation techniques and strategies, some of which include:
- Bar Modeling
- Minus 1
- Compensation
- Area Model Multiplication
- Branching
- Left-to-Right Addition
Using these techniques and strategies, students are able to develop out-of-the-box approaches to solve complex math problems. What was once hard to understand and impossible to solve becomes easy and fun!
The tools and skills that students learn during their online math lessons can improve the speed and accuracy of their mental math calculations. Plus, they can apply the same teachings to their schoolwork and become the number one student in their math class.
Develop Critical Thinking and Language Processing Skills
Math isn’t just about numbers and variables. Language processing and critical thinking play a huge role in math literacy. To help students decode word problems and understand what is being asked of them, our educators will read books to the class that help improve reading comprehension and fluency.
As you can see, although math is our area of focus, Singapore Math Enrichment classes are designed to create well-rounded students who have a passion for learning.
Algebraic Thinking for Young Students
One of the key concepts of Singapore Math includes the introduction of algebraic thinking to students as early as Grade 1. Algebraic thinking teaches young learners how to recognize unknown variables, form connections, study relationships, and analyze change. This allows students to view problems through a new lens and use novel strategies to provide correct solutions. It also helps them translate word problems into visual representations; when students can see what they are working with, they have a much easier time understanding and solving the problem.
It is never too early to lay the foundations of algebraic thinking. Our Singapore Math Enrichment classes use highly-interactive activities and games to make learning math fun and exciting!

Each term can be purchased separately, or all four terms can be purchased together for a whole year of classes. We also offer a five percent Sibling Discount when two or more siblings are enrolled in the Singapore Math Enrichment classes.
- How is the Singapore Math Curriculum Different? The Singapore Math Curriculum is more rigorous than the Common Core Curriculum. Students learn computation techniques and strategies and number sense as early as Kindergarten and build on these key concepts throughout the rest of their courses. They also learn language processing to help improve their mathematical literacy and understanding. On average, our students do math at above grade-level expectations (GLE) because they are required to learn complex concepts at an earlier age.
- How Long Has this Curriculum Existed? Singapore Math has been around for well over 40 years — see more below — but Singapore Maths Club developed its 40-week program only six years ago in September 2014. Improvements to the program are made as necessary.
- What are the Tuition Costs Associated with Your K-6 Program? Tuition is calculated on a per term basis, with a term being 10 weeks of lessons. A sibling discount of five percent is also available.
Tuition may be purchased by term or for the year (all four terms). It is non-refundable and expires at the end of each term. Prices and discounts are subject to change without notice. Students may be eligible for a five percent sibling discount when two or more siblings are enrolled in the center. Contact us with any questions.
