Our Lessons

Children engage in hands-on activities using concrete material like coloured pebbles that effectively help them to visualise and understand higher-level concepts, while having lots of fun while learning.
Children also complete worksheets to consolidate their learning.
In preparation for primary school Mathematics, we cover topics like the model method for solving word problems.

What Parents Say

Ms. Jenny Goh (mother of Nicole & Chloe)

“My eldest girl, Nicole started with Math Brains when she was 5 years old. It was only when she was in Primary 1, that we realized Math Brains had helped in building her strong foundation of Mathematical concepts. We were very happy. Once again, we enrolled our younger girl, Chloe in Math Brains when she was 5 years old. The lessons are structured in a fun and creative way that Chloe is always looking forward to attend the class. Since then, we have seen tremendous progress in Chloe and we strongly believe she will be ready for Mathematics in P1. We are glad that we have chosen Math Brains. Thanks Teacher Jasmin and Team. Keep up your good work!”

Ms. Ng Keng Ling (mother of Jing Tean & Yae Ming)

“The program laid a very good foundation for my children. It trained them in analytical skills and prepared them well for primary school.”
