The Progamme

Maths by Mathematicians (M x M) is an initiative by a group of professional mathematicians who desire to challenge and nurture mathematically interested students.

This programme will be piloted at the Primary 4 level. All materials are written by mathematicians and taught by mathematicians. The materials are intended to increase studentā€™s mathematical interest, critical thinking and reasoning skills. Maths by Mathematicians hope to provide students with the opportunities to learn from and interact with mathematicians.

Each content level may be one or two grade levels higher than their current school levels. Students will be challenged but will be provided with the necessary scaffolding.

Students must pass a qualifying test to be accepted into the programme. This is to ensure that they would be able to cope with the curriculum.

Master Mentor (Maths)

Family and friends are so important to me. I enjoy helping people learn and making people happy. A big goal of mine is getting people uninterested in or have a fear of math to find math fun.
