PRIMARY MATH
LEARNING TO THINK DIFFERENTLY
Our Primary Maths Tuition Programme is specially designed to equip your child with the essential skills to shine in PSLE maths. We understand that success in PSLE maths goes beyond computational proficiency but depends on your child’s ability to solve problem sums and think critically and independently.
Developed in collaboration with former school teachers and PSLE markers, our programme incorporates a proprietary systematic method for classifying complex heuristic problem sums. This approach simplifies learning, understanding, and revision, ensuring that your child grasps concepts efficiently.
STRUCTURED WORKBOOK PRACTICE
Our workbooks are designed to offer your child the essential practice needed to solve each type of sum step-by-step, nurturing a solid foundation in both understanding and skills. Each of them is structured by grouping mathematics questions according to topics and concepts. Problem sums that demand similar problem-solving approaches are grouped together.
As a result, our students experience continuous growth in confidence with every lesson, transforming into independent and proficient maths learners.
Challenges Students Faced in Primary School When Preparing for PSLE Maths Exam
Complexity: Students may find PSLE Maths challenging when their foundation understanding is weak. This is because the exam builds upon concepts introduced in the previous years of their education.
Critical Thinking: PSLE Maths exam questions often require a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts. For students who have not grasped the fundamentals or relied on rote learning, the exam can be demanding.
Word Problems: PSLE Maths questions demand reading comprehension and the ability to apply math concepts in real-life contexts, which can be difficult for some students.
Benefits of Primary Math Tuition
Personalised attention and feedback: Maths tuition provides smaller class sizes or one-to-one sessions, allowing tutors to focus on each child’s specific needs.
Enhanced Confidence and Motivation: A strong learning foundation helps students overcome anxiety, boosting their confidence as they master previously challenging concepts.
Efficient preparation for exams: We provide structured workbook practice and mock exam to guide students as they progress through topics and concepts.
Improved Problem-Solving Skills: Students are able to learn to break down complex problems into manageable steps, identify relevant information, and apply the appropriate solutions.
80% OF PSLE MATHS QUESTIONS DEMAND PROBLEM-SOLVING SKILLS AND TECHNIQUES.
Achieving an AL1 in PSLE Maths requires an integrated approach right from the start. Over the past decade, the Singapore Primary Maths syllabus has transformed, emphasising Applications and Analyses through Heuristic Problem-Solving rather than focusing solely on Mathematics Operations.
By gradually developing essential Primary maths skills through our proprietary Matrix Method approach, your child will be well-equipped to confidently tackle these types of questions in the PSLE. Prepare them for success by laying a strong foundation early on and watch their mathematical achievements soar.
THE MATRIX METHOD THOUGHT PROCESS BREAKS PROBLEM SOLVING INTO 5 SIMPLE STEPS:
Record Data
Establish A Common Base
Identify The Value
Solve 1 Unit
Read The Question Again
