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.
This week, we will continue with Lesson 4 of our “Numbers to 20” unit. This lesson will be slightly more challenging as we introduce new problem-solving concepts.
Students will learn:
These skills are important for developing logical thinking and preparing students for more complex word problems in the future.
This week, we will continue with Lesson 2 on Mass, with a focus on comparing mass.
This lesson will be more challenging than usual, as students will be working with graphical problem types that require them to think critically and apply their reasoning skills.
Through these visual-based questions, students will learn to make logical comparisons and better understand the concept of mass in different contexts. This lesson is designed to stretch their thinking and build a strong foundation for more advanced measurement topics.
This week, we will continue with Money Lesson 6.
We will cover 3 concepts.
1. Quantity Value
2. Equivalent equation
3. Forming number statements
Quantity value is a very commonly tested concept. Money is a measure that has both quantity and value. For example, ten 5-cent coins have a quantity of 10 but a value of 50 cents.
Concepts 3, trains students to form number statements involving 2 unknowns and solve them through association and comparison.
This week, our Primary 4 lessons will continue with the topic of Fractions, placing a strong emphasis on the concept of Remainder Theory.
Remainder Theory falls under the broader Part-Whole concept and involves dividing a larger quantity into smaller, equal parts—something unique to fraction-based problem sums.
These types of questions are not only conceptually important but are also frequently tested in school exams. Understanding them well is essential for building a solid foundation in fractions and developing effective problem-solving strategies.
This week, we will begin Lesson 1 on the topic of Volume. In this introductory lesson, students will explore four foundational concepts that are essential for understanding volume in 3D shapes:
Using the formula Length × Breadth × Height (L × B × H) to calculate the volume of rectangular solids.
Learning how to determine the length of each side when the volume of a cube is known.
Understanding how volume can be measured with systematic counting..
Developing spatial awareness by representing 3D shapes accurately on isometric grid.
This week, we will begin a new topic: Volume.
In this lesson, we aim to cover several key concepts, which include:
We’ll extend the concept of water flow rates to scenarios involving multiple sources, further deepening students’ understanding and problem-solving skills in these contexts.
