At Matrix Math, we provide an engaging and detailed learning experience for your child. Matrix Math Tuition programme focuses on essential concepts that will further strengthen their mathematical foundation. The lesson synopsis gives parents a clear preview of the topics and problem-solving skills that will be covered in class. At Matrix Math, we ensure that each lesson is designed to build confidence and mastery in math, preparing students for success in both school and beyond.
We will begin our 1st lesson for the new academic year.
For Primary 1 students, we will continue with their JEI Math. In addition, we will be introducing Matrix Math to the lessons. Matrix Math will be according to the school syllabus.
For all Primary 1 lessons, the priority will be to complete the Matrix Math worksheets and balance time on JEI Math. The proportion of time we will spend on Matrix Math will increase gradually towards the end of 2024 while the time spent on JEI Math in the class will reduce correspondingly.
JEI Math – focus on the children’s fundamental mathematics skills.
Matrix Math – according to the school syllabus, with a focus on problem-solving concepts.
We will commence our first lesson for the new academic year.
In this initial session, our primary focus will be on the fundamentals of whole numbers. While this may initially appear as computational mathematics, it lays the essential groundwork for more complex problem-solving questions that will follow.
Our objective is to equip our students with foundational skills early on. We aim to cultivate their reasoning skills, analytical thinking, and a systematic approach to problem-solving. These skills will serve as valuable assets throughout their academic journey.
In our first lesson for the new academic year, we will delve into the fundamentals of whole numbers. While this may involve a significant amount of computational math, it serves as the cornerstone for more complex problem-solving questions in the future.
We aim to lay a solid groundwork that will nurture your child’s reasoning skills, foster analytical thinking, and instill a systematic approach to problem-solving for their future development.
In our first lesson, our primary focus will be on the fundamental aspects of whole numbers. This particular lesson may initially appear rather computation-heavy, as it lays the essential groundwork for more advanced problem-solving questions.
Additionally, we have observed that many students face challenges regarding the concept of “estimation and approximation”. To address this, we will allocate extra time and attention to this area, ensuring that students have a solid grasp and can consistently apply these concepts accurately.
Primary 5 will be challenging. Similar concepts the children learned in Primary 4 will be designed to be more challenging and indirect. Also, a few heavy topics will be introduced, namely Triangles, Ratio, and Percentage. Our lessons will gradually increase in intensity to prepare our students. We seek your support and understanding.
Whole numbers concepts we will cover in lesson 1:
We want to emphasise that 2025 will pass by swiftly, and preliminary exams will be upon us before we know it. In Primary 6, topics similar to Primary 5 will become more challenging, and new, more complex subjects such as Algebra, Speed, and Circle will be introduced. We are committed to pushing our students to excel given these upcoming challenges. We sincerely seek your support and understanding on this journey.
In this week’s lesson, we will kickstart our exploration of Algebra. Generally, most children find Algebra manageable once they grasp the basics, as these concepts are typically not as intricate as heuristics.
Your active involvement in your child’s education is highly valued. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions or need more information.
