Seriously Addictive Mathematics (Parkway Centre)
"We’re possibly the best Mathematics programme for 4-12 year-old children. Based on the Singapore Mathematics curriculum, our individual-based learning programme focuses on conceptual learning before procedural learning. The end result? Our students become more engaged in mathematics and are able to excel academically. S.A.M students are self-driven critical thinkers who are able to count all the sand in the universe, and yet see the universe within a grain of sand...metaphorically of course!
S.A.M Parkway Centre is managed by Dr Danny Boey, who has an extensive experience lecturing at universities and polytechnics, and teaching at MOE schools. Dr Boey is passionate about teaching and believes that every child can learn and excel."

Singapore Math Heuristics: Solve Part of the Problem, Simplify the Problem and Work Backwards
Problem-solving in mathematics helps children develop reasoning and communication skills that are transferrable and important life skills. Reasoning is required on three levels when children solve word problems. First, they use reasoning to recognise what information is provided or missing. Then, they use reasoning to figure out what information they need to find. Finally, they […]
Singapore Math Heuristics: Act It Out, Draw A Diagram, Look For Patterns
In part one of our Singapore Math Heuristics series, we gave an overview of the 12 heuristics in Singapore Primary Math syllabus, with tips from the curriculum team at Seriously Addictive Mathematics (S.A.M) on how to solve various math word problems using them. To recap, heuristics are methods or strategies students can use to solve complex […]
