A⁺Students
A⁺Students Abacus Maths (known as A ⁺Students) is a Japanese method of education that teaches young children to solve complex arithmetic problems by playing with educational toys like the Soroban and the A⁺ Play Maths range of educational toys. These learned skills are then applied to the Mathematics Curricula up to grade 12.
Our approach is ‘learning through play’ and our lessons are interactive, physical and fun. While the program aims to foster a love for Mathematics, it also helps children to develop their left and right brain capabilities and heightens their skill level in various learning areas; like comprehension, concentration, creativity, problem-solving and the ability to listen and pay attention. Our programs are aligned with the STEM educational approach which places an emphasis on fostering skills in the areas of science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Mini Genius (Ages 3+): An introductory abacus and mental arithmetic program for toddlers, focusing on foundational math concepts through engaging age-appropriate activities.
Kids Genius (Ages 5 ⁺): Designed for young learners, this course emphasizes basic arithmetic and problem-solving skills using the abacus and using interactive tools, and playful methods.
Young Genius (Ages 8 ⁺): This program is fast paced, which helps fill in gaps for the older children who missed the learning window period but are keen on having an abacus and mental arithmetic education and its application to more advanced mental arithmetic subjects and competitions.
Junior Genius (Starting from Grade 4, after 1 year of operation): Courses for students who are struggling with school mathematics concepts.
