EQUIPPING PARENTS FOR ACTION
As parents become increasingly involved with their children’s education, many of them are ‘learning’ and ‘unlearning’ with them all over again. When children are faced with difficulties in their Math problems, parents are often the first ones they will turn to for help. While many will take time to explain to their children, most parents will also bring with them their algebra knowledge and try to apply to the word problems, only to discover later that their children faced tremendous difficulties when they try to apply the abstract method in the non-routine problems.

In Ammiel Wan Academy, we empower our parents by first helping them to differentiate the difference between a conceptual and procedural mistake. We will also teach them the different ways they can approach and help with their children’s mistakes and misconceptions.

The teachers in Ammiel Wan Academy are capable of covering all the topics in a holistic manner and help my daughter excel at enforcing mathematical concepts. She is now more motivated and confident in solving non routine problems.

EMPOWERING TEACHERS FOR CHANGE
Today, as more educators recognise the importance of strengthening their pupils’ conceptual understanding, many schools are trying to restructure and redesign their curriculum to bring about these changes.
​
We know that different schools are at different phases of this curriculum journey. Some schools are adopting existing resources as an interim measure, while others are trying to redesign their curriculum. As such, our programmes and consultation sessions at the Academy aim to support our fellow educators in their endeavour. Be it adaptation, adoption or total innovation, our courses and consultancy services are customised to suit the different needs of the different schools.
Ultimately, the aim is to help HODs and teachers design and customised their own school-based curriculum, which includes assessments, to suit the needs of pupils. In order to reach this desired outcome, it is important that teachers have the theoretical underpinnings that form these curriculum innovations.

Training Prospectus for Educators
Mr Wan is charismatic, clear and taught with enthusiasm. He demonstrates new ways of understanding word problems with step-by-step approaches of increasing level of difficulty. The non-threatening environment also allows us to learn at ease. He exposed us to various strategies to help students as well as teachers to tackle challenging sums.
