STEM is the language of the future

It is critical for young students to learn, explore, make, and ask questions. After-school programs have impacted students' personal development and contributed to their social and emotional development. In the afterschool field, STEM has become an integral part of their educational programs. The provision of high-quality STEM learning experiences in afterschool programs has a significant impact on the active participation of youth; they develop the interest of students in STEM, and they build their STEM competencies and skills among diverse groups of students.

What Makes Us Unique

In a world that has become increasingly globalized and complex, STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math) skills are becoming increasingly important. As a result, students are eager to learn these skills in order to participate in modern society and the economy. We understand that not many day schools can provide stem education as part of their curriculum. That is why STEM after school programs are becoming more demanding. In the last 15 years, we have offered after school programs and STEM workshops to over 500 students in grades 1-8. We strongly believe in STEM education and the benefits it provides to students.

What is Math Word Problems

A word problem is a few sentences describing a 'real-life' scenario where a problem needs to be solved by way of a mathematical calculation. Word problems are seen as a crucial part of learning in the primary curriculum, because they require children to apply their knowledge of various different concepts to 'real-life' scenarios. The following are example word problems that apply to each primary year group.

Grade 1

Sarah wants to buy a teddy bear costing $5. How many $1 coins will she need?

Brian has 3 sweets. Tom has double this number of sweets. How many sweets does Tom have?

Grade 2

Faye has 12 marbles. Her friend Louise has 9 marbles. How many marbles do they both have altogether?

Three children are each given 5 teddy bears. How many teddy bears do they have altogether?

Grade 3

Sarah has 24 balloons. She gives a quarter of them away to her friend. How many balloons does she give away?

I have $34. I am given another $26. I divide this money equally into four different bank accounts. How much money do I put in each bank account?

Grade 4

I have 98 marbles. I share them equally between 6 friends. How many marbles does each friend get? How many marbles are left over?

Grade 5

My chest of drawers is 80cm wide and my table is 1.3m wide. How much wall space do they take up when put side by side?


There are 24 floors of a car park. Each floor has room for 45 cars. How many cars can the car park fit altogether?

Grade 6

Sarah sees the same jumper in two different sales:
In the first sale, the original price of the jumper is $36.15, but has been reduced by a third.
In the second sale, the jumper was priced at £45, but now has 40% off.
How much does each jumper cost and which one is the cheapest?
