MatheMagis Singapore Maths

Jun 8

Starting June, kids enrolled in Mathemagis’ Singapore Math program now have exclusive access to Bondanza, an iPad app for levels 1 to 3 which aims to develop children’s mental calculation skills through Singapore Math’s number bonds approach. It directly complements the Mathemagis program and will be used on top of the manipulatives and pen and paper work currently used in the program every session. This greatly helps in motivating kids to learn math and enjoy themselves.

Where can we get the app?

was developed for exclusive use of Mathemagis and is not available in the iTunes store. Although there are a lot of math programs available, none of them applies the Singapore Math approach and progression to learning math.

Enroll your kids in Mathemagis and watch them enjoy use of the app.

Help your kids beat the heat and stay productive this summer with Mathemagis’ Singapore Math Programs

Jr Math Champs (4 – 6 year olds)
Preschoolers get busy with games, arts and worksheets as they develop crucial pre-math skills to prepare them for more complex math concepts later on. This is the best program to develop their analytical thinking, fine motor skills and most importantly, love and confidence in math!

Batch 1 theme: Number Sense & Patterns, functions and Algebra
Batch 2 theme: Geometry, measurement and frames
Batch 3 theme: Operations, computations & number sense
Batch 4 theme: Data and Chance, Length, Mass and Volume

Visual Thinking Math (7 and up)
Kids sharpen their problem-solving skills in using bar-models. Students are grouped into various starting levels and will learn the proper way to understand, break down and draw bar-models to solve various word problems the Singapore way. Guaranteed.

Learn Algebra the Singapore Way! (12 and up)
Using Singapore Math’s bar-model approach, this program will help tweens and teenagers conquer their fear of algebra through a visual approach in developing analytical skills and bridging algebraic skills at the same time. A sure way for your tweens and teenagers to unlock the mysteries of algebra

*All programs run in batches of 10 sessions each / 4500 per batch. Kids may start at any batch and may continue their progress in the other batches.

Top 5 reasons why your child should learn Singapore Math

Mathemagis’ Singapore Math covers core content areas of Math learning and skills development.

1. Conceptual Understanding

Students learn the whys before the hows and understand the underlying mathematical principles behind common shortcuts and formulas. An emphasis on conceptual understanding allows students to solve seemingly complex problems with ease.

Traditional Math: 5 x 3 = ?

Singapore Math: 5 x 3 = 5 x 2 + ?

Level 2 (grade 2) students will be able to answer this based on a conceptual understanding of multiplication (no algebra, please).

2. Procedural Mastery

Knowledge and mastery of mathematical procedures are developed AFTER conceptual understanding.

3. Mental Computations strategy

Students learn various mental computation strategies on top of pen and paper calculations.

4. Use of Bar model in word problems.

Students develop visualization and analytical skills needed to learn higher mathematics such as trigonometry and calculus through the use of bar-models as early as level 1 (grade 1).

Traditional Math Algebra Word Problem : Jose’s present age is 1/7 of his father’s age. His father will be 61 years old in 5 years’ time. In how many years’ time will Jose’s age be 1/5 of his father’s age?

Singapore Math Level 5 (Grade 5) Word Problem: Jose’s present age is 1/7 of his father’s age. His father will be 61 years old in 5 years’ time. In how many years’ time will Jose’s age be 1/5 of his father’s age?

Level 5 students will be able to answer the above problem using the bar-model approach. Yes, without using algebra! Singapore math focuses on visualization, analysis and strategies for breaking down complex word problems — allowing grade 5 students to answer questions normally reserved for Algebra.

5. Heuristics

Mathemagis teaches various strategies that can be applied to word problems aside from the bar-model approach. This makes students more versatile and exposed to a wide range of word problems both mathematical and practical.

The Mathemagis Singapore math program covers all content areas and skills development in mastering primary school math and preparing students for higher order math such as Algebra, Trigonometry and Calculus.
