When I was a kid, I'd always hoped my workbooks were more colourful and interesting. Something that could suck me into practising them, as the saying goes, 'practice makes perfect'.

"Why can't the exercises look more fun, enjoyable and interesting? Why do they always look so boring?" was what I always thought.

Throughout my high school years, I'd always enjoyed graphic designing. Though I graduated with an engineering degree, I remember how I always jumped at the opportunities to design brochures, posters and T-shirts for school events. Unsurprisingly while in uni, I always tried to incorporate graphic designs in my rather mundane study notes, just to make things more fun and interesting so I would actually read and study them!

My sister is an educator with more than a decade long experience specialising in the international syllabus. Knowing the importance of having a good foundation in math at a young age, she sees the golden period in which children learn best from practising whatever they get hold of. Research has also shown that students who have a longer attention span at a younger age tend to out-stand their peers academically (Megan et. al, 2013). 

However, the mundane worksheets she finds online and in the bookstores hinder her students from engaging maths in an enjoyable manner as they couldn't hold their attention for a long period. She finds it a pity that many children with great potential lose interest in math just because of the lack of interesting workbooks.

She utilises what she learns and identifies factors that encourage students to learn and to be engaged in learning; coupled with her extensive experience in teaching, she came up with her tested and proven approach of practising and learning math. As a matter of fact, we collaborate to design this series of math worksheets, to yield results in children in a fun, enjoyable and effective way! To redesign math worksheets! To create something we wish we had when we were young!
