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.
In this lesson, students will strengthen their understanding of numbers up to 10 by comparing and sequencing numbers meaningfully. They will learn to identify “more than” and “less than”, including finding 1 more and 1 less using simple number statements.
Students will also practise determining what comes before, after, and between given numbers, with guidance on reading keywords carefully and choosing the correct method. The lesson will progress from guided examples to independent practice, with emphasis on clear thinking, avoiding common mistakes, and building confidence through repeated exposure to similar question types.
In this lesson, students will deepen their understanding of the Total Concept through structured word problems involving equal groups. They will learn to identify whether a question requires finding the total value, the value in one group, or the number of groups, and apply the correct operation accordingly.
Students will practise solving problems using multiplication and division, including scenarios involving sharing equally and grouping. Emphasis will be placed on understanding the meaning behind each number, recognising key phrases such as “each,” “shared equally,” and “how many groups,” and translating them into clear number statements. The lesson will progress from guided examples to independent practice to reinforce accuracy, reasoning, and confidence.
In this lesson, students will strengthen their understanding of long division, including questions that require regrouping. They will revise the step-by-step division process and learn to apply it accurately across different number sizes.
Students will practise interpreting word problems to determine when division is required, including real-life situations involving equal sharing, grouping, and multi-step problems that combine addition or subtraction before division. Emphasis will be placed on systematic working, aligning digits correctly, and checking answers to reduce careless errors. The lesson will progress from guided examples to independent practice to build confidence, accuracy, and problem-solving fluency.
In this lesson, students will develop a deeper understanding of the Interval Concept, learning how to interpret gaps, spacing, and positions between objects. They will practise identifying intervals, dividers, and the relationship between the two when finding distances, totals, or the number of objects involved.
Students will apply this concept to a variety of real-life word problems, including questions involving beads, lamp posts, trees, and cutting objects into pieces. They will also work on grouping problems that require careful interpretation of phrases such as “at most,” “least,” and remainder, reinforcing the importance of logical reasoning beyond straightforward calculation. Emphasis will be placed on clear step-by-step thinking, accurate working, and avoiding common conceptual errors.
In this lesson, students will focus on Quantity Transfer word problems, learning to analyse how quantities change before and after transfers. They will work through scenarios involving giving, receiving, spending, and buying, and practise identifying the correct relationships between quantities using unit models.
Students will learn to distinguish between external transfer (changes caused by adding or removing quantities) and internal transfer (quantities transferred between two parties), including more complex scenarios with multiple conditions. Emphasis will be placed on setting up clear representations, tracking changes systematically, and avoiding common reasoning errors. The lesson will progress from guided examples to independent practice to strengthen logical thinking and problem-solving confidence.
In this lesson, students will deepen their understanding of ratio by analysing how quantities change while certain values remain unchanged. They will practise solving problems that involve finding the amount to add or give, as well as identifying common bases to compare and combine ratios accurately.
Students will also work on more advanced ratio applications, including equivalent proportions and simultaneous relationships involving three unknowns. Emphasis will be placed on selecting the correct strategy, setting up clear working using unit values, and reasoning logically through multi-step word problems. The lesson will progress from guided examples to independent practice to strengthen accuracy, exam readiness, and confidence.
