LESSON 39 SYNOPSIS (9 September – 14 September 2025)

08 September 2025

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.

Primary 1 Lesson 39

Next week in Lesson 39, we will focus on a mix of multiplication and division problem sums.

This lesson aims to assess the children’s ability to differentiate between these two operations and apply the appropriate concept to solve each problem. By combining both multiplication and division, students can demonstrate their understanding and proficiency in using these operations effectively.

This lesson will assess the students’ mathematical skills and foster their ability to apply mathematical concepts in problem-solving scenarios.

Primary 2 Lesson 39

In Lesson 39, our focus remains on guiding the children through higher-order Volume problem sums.

The lesson’s focus will be mastering complex concepts within Volume problem-solving. The areas of exploration will encompass:

Multiplication and Division – Applying these fundamental operations to volume scenarios.
Grouping and Consideration of Remainder – Navigating scenarios where grouping is required, including situations involving remainders., including situations involving remainders.
Comparison of Units – Problem sums with unit comparison within the context of volume.

Primary 3 Lesson 39

This week we will embark on a new topic, “Time.” While your child was introduced to the basics of reading time and using a timeline for simple problem sums back in Primary 2, we will delve deeper and expand on those foundational concepts in next week’s lesson.

We’ll be exploring:

Conversion of Hours to Minutes and Vice Versa: An essential skill for various time-related calculations.
Working Forward with Time: We’ll tackle problem sums requiring students to determine a future time after a given duration.
Time-Involving Interval Concept: We’ll explore how intervals, or periods of time, can be used to solve more complex problems, such as determining the time elapsed between events.

Primary 4 Lesson 39

This week, we will cover advanced concepts of Area and Perimeter. We will explore the following key areas:

Figure segmentation and restoration: Students will learn how to break down complex figures into simpler shapes and restore them to find the total area and perimeter accurately.
Questions involving borders/frames: We will tackle problem-solving scenarios that involve calculating the area and perimeter of figures with borders or frames.
Finding area involving grouping and ignoring the remainder: Students will develop strategies to determine the area of irregular figures that require grouping and disregarding the remainder.
Finding area involving overlapping: We will delve into problem sums that require calculating the area of overlapping shapes.

Primary 5 Lesson 39

This week, we will continue to delve deeper into Geometry lesson 2.

During this upcoming session, we will delve into the following pivotal concepts:

Determining Unknown Angles – Equipping students to find angles within complex diagrams often involves a mix of quadrilaterals and triangles.
Calculating Combined Angles – How to find the sum of multiple unknown angles.
Application of ratios in angles – Using the ratio methods to find unknown angles.

Primary 6 Lesson 39

This week, we will continue with PSLE Revision Lesson 13.

This lesson will involve a systematic review and practice of essential topics, concepts, and problem-solving methods commonly tested in the PSLE. We aim to strengthen students’ understanding, problem-solving abilities, and confidence as they prepare for the upcoming examination.

Active participation and completing the assigned additional practice exercises are crucial for effective revision. These exercises are designed to align with the PSLE requirements, providing students with valuable exposure to the types of questions they may encounter and opportunities to apply their knowledge and skills effectively.
