Teaching kids math through play

As heard on radio

Math is Fun and Easy to Learn

At A⁺ Students, we believe in unlocking the full potential of every child through the power of brain development and a love for mathematics. Using the Japanese method of abacus education, we teach children as young as 3 years the art of abacus & mental arithmetic through engaging and fun play-based learning. Our approach uses the Soroban (Abacus) and our exclusive A⁺ Play Maths range of educational toys to make math exciting and accessible for young learners.

Empowering Young Minds through Math and Play

A⁺ Students goes beyond teaching mathematics – it’s about developing both the left and right brain simultaneously. Our program enhances critical skills like concentration, creativity, problem-solving, comprehension, and the ability to listen and pay attention. By helping children “see” math in a visual and interactive way, we foster a deep, Lifelong Love for Mathematics.

Our lessons are hands-on, interactive, and designed to be fun! With a maximum class size of just 8 learners per session, each child receives focused attention in a nurturing environment.
