At the Playful Genius we use a 3-in 1 hybrid approach.

While most education programs utilize at most one  single dimensional for example:

• Play kit and game based

• OR only Online video lessons

• OR teacher’s tutoring or assessment

• Some might be a combination of both. But we utilize a unique 5 step game-based approach:

  1. Each lesson begins with a real life Math problem to illustrate the importance and purpose of Math to kids

  This overcomes the objection of “Why do I need to learn Math?” in kids.

  2. Next, they learn math logic through the Playful Stories featured in our video lessons.

  3. Concurrently, each lesson, they will HAVE CONCRETE PLAY time with the corresponding play kits to develop their VSAP skills. .

  4. Before they tackle the real life math questions on the workbook again to further hone their Math VSAP skills.

  5. Lastly, in order to assess if the student has got the concepts correctly without memorisation.

  Although optional, we would like parents to record their children’s attempt at math questions and submit it to us.

  Our teachers will assess and give you feedback about your child.

You’ll notice that your child will start to tackle math problems that you might not be able to.

And you’ll start to ask your child

“How did you solve it?”

“Why did you do it that way?”

As your child is able to explain the logic behind it.

They are reinforcing the knowledge they’ve learned.

And installing the math genius’s way of thinking.

And you’ll be so proud that they are able to tackle math problems that you can’t.

These are just a few benefits that you can notice in the first 4 weeks.

And in the next 3 months

You may notice that your child takes a shorter time to complete their math study and assignments.

They may stop feeling anxious or frustrated at Math.

They may stop prioritizing Math last and may start to prioritize it first.

Many are surprised to discover just how learning Math can be easy, fun and purposeful.

But when you think about how humans are meant to learn using as many senses as possible.

It’s easy to see that a program that combines physical toys, playful stories and lessons and a 3 step gentle approach to learning Math.

And if your child’s reignited interest in Math doesn’t convince you.

What you will see in their standardized tests result will.

Parents, I want to assure you that you don’t need to teach or mark anything.

The only task you have is to help your child record a video while they complete their weekly assignment and then submit it to us.

This is what sets our program apart from other online programs.

Most other platforms can take on as many students as possible, but once you purchase the program, you’re left to manage on your own, with no guidance on whether your child is doing it right or not. In our program, every student is assigned a dedicated teacher.

When your child submits their assignment, their teacher will carefully analyze the video to ensure they’re using the correct process and completing it properly.

You don’t need to worry, as all 24 weeks of lessons are already uploaded on our learning platform.

The relevant learning materials will also be shipped directly to you.

Your child simply needs to access and follow the lessons on a weekly basis—no teaching required on your part.

For parents who are on the monthly subscription, we’ll send you a box each month, and you might wonder why we don’t send all the boxes at once.

That’s a great question! Each box contains tools, manipulatives, and custom-designed materials.

Some parents may worry they don’t have time to prepare all these items, but with Pattern Thinkers, you don’t have to. We assemble everything for you, including the specially customized materials.

Now, most companies would send all six boxes at once to fulfill their obligation, but I choose not to do that for two reasons. First, I don’t want to overwhelm you with all six boxes at once.

Second, by sending the boxes one at a time, there will come a moment when your child will excitedly ask, “Mom, when’s the next box arriving?” That’s when I’ll congratulate you, because it means your child is eagerly looking forward to learning!

Yes, that’s one of the key features of our learning platform. Some learners grasp concepts quickly—they watch, understand, and move on to complete their assignments.

Others may need more time to process the information. If a student needs to pause, they can simply click pause to take time to think and digest before continuing.

If they still don’t fully understand after watching, they can always replay the lesson. This approach is designed to allow each child to progress at their own pace, unlike the traditional classroom model where everyone moves on at the same time, regardless of individual understanding.

As for submitting work, I recommend having students submit their assignments right after the lesson. After watching the video and understanding the material, they should complete the assignment with confidence. You can also allow them to submit a video of their final attempt if you’d like to boost their confidence.

In the second practice, students are expected to complete the task without watching the lesson. This helps them identify areas where they may struggle, such as connecting steps two and three, and allows them to go back and clarify.

The third practice is when they demonstrate their confidence. They should be able to show they understand the process from one step to the next. At this stage, submitting a video can also be a great choice. Ultimately, it’s up to you to decide which approach works best.

Every child learns at a different pace.

But I feel you should give Playful Genius at least 30 days to work its full magic.

And some children really start to see dramatic results after 60 days.

If your child completes one lesson per week. And takes 90 minutes per week Or 15 mins a day.

You will start to see your child’s math anxiety and frustration disappear within those first one to two months.

And once that anxiety starts coming off, you can expect their interest in Math to be ignited.

Take self-initiative to learn and tackle math problems without needing your supervision or nagging.

And here’s a question we’ve received from Sarah, in Singapore.

"My child has completed the 6 month Playful Genius Level 1 program. Her math, standardized test results have improved. And apart from that - her english teacher My child is in grade 1. Is this suitable?"

As long as your child knows how to count.

They are able to count from zero to one hundred. And they understand what is plus, what is minus what is times and divide and know how to use a calculator. They are good for this program.

The objective is to install the math genius way of thinking, and not to test them on the numerical computational part.

Yes. Here’s how it works: A Playful Genius subscription includes one set of manipulatives, one account to access our learning management system, and one account for our teachers to analyze, mark, and assess assignments.

If you have two kids and want both to receive the same attention, we offer a sibling package. Instead of paying an additional USD1,500, you only need to add USD600.

Do contact our team for a special arrangement.

Both children will share the same set of manipulatives, but each will receive their own workbook. This means you’ll have two workbooks and two separate learning accounts.

When assignments are submitted, both children will have their work individually assessed by our teachers. Hope that clarifies!

Watch how kids play the Playful Genius System!
