Designed for students who are eager to enhance their mathematical abilities, this course focuses on developing mastery of fundamental mathematical concepts and learning to tackle challenging, multi-step word problems using the renowned Singapore Math Bar Model method.
The Bar Model approach is key in developing proportional reasoning which is a gateway to algebraic thinking. Singapore Math is a world-class curriculum which we use in the Alpha and Beta levels of Math Circles.
Gateway Math is like a condensed version of our full-year Math Circles program, specially crafted to equip students with a solid understanding of fundamental concepts and the ability to tackle challenging word problems related to them. By building this strong foundation, Gateway Math prepares students for even greater success in Math Circles and their future mathematical journeys.

Hannah Hwang
Parent
"When I was in the high school what I did most in math classes was memorize formulas and do lots of calculations. I was blessed to find the Math Circles program. I loved the way of approaching the concepts, and I learned a lot from the materials along with my daughter. Thanks so much for providing such a wonderful program to our kids."
Gordon Hamilton
Math Educator
"Let us not equate mathematics and arithmetic; let us not equate applying algorithms and thinking. Math Circles explores mathematics that is worthy of the human intellect. It's not trying to make math easy, but celebrates the challenge of struggling with a tough problem."
Robert Huang
Graduate
"After graduating, I went to University of Waterloo and am studying Statistics. I think Math Circles helped me a lot, especially with regards to tackling a problem from multiple perspectives, which was a skill that I use a lot in both my academic work and professional work."
Simon Kim
Parent
"Once again, Andrew had a wonderful year with Math Potentials. Thank you very much for all your hard work! Andrew has gone from being very intimidated by math to feeling quite confident(sometimes boastful ha ha) and comfortable with it. He got all As last report card, and was recommended to Grade 9 Math because he had finished Grade 8 by December, so in Grade 9, he will be taking Gr10 Math."
