PRESCHOOL MATH
SUCCESS IN MATHS GOES BEYOND ROTE LEARNING.
At Matrix Math, we understand that the key to achieving success in maths goes beyond rote learning. The foundational skills acquired during the preschool years are crucial for your child’s journey in Primary 1 and beyond. Our innovative approach emphasises problem-solving skills rather than mere drilling exercises, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of concepts.
HOW OUR MONTHLY MATHS PROJECTS WORK.
We believe in fostering a love for math in young children from the very beginning. Through engaging in hands-on activities, we not only teach math concepts in an interesting and interactive manner but also strive to ignite a genuine interest and curiosity in math among our little learners. Our specially designed math activities align with the MOE syllabus and methodology, ensuring that children are exposed to key math concepts in a fun and meaningful way.
TARGETING YOUR CHILD’S KNOWLEDGE GAPS
We believe in tailoring our approach to address individual weaknesses, rather than teaching all maths concepts uniformly.
Our Preschool Maths Programme is designed to be an individualised, step-by-step learning journey that focuses on closing knowledge gaps in maths. By the time your child enters Primary 1, they will be equipped with the foundational maths skills needed for a confident and positive start.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
How do children usually learn problem-solving in Singapore?
Before coming to Matrix Math for tuition, we observed that many children prioritise finding quick fixes for solving problem sums. For example, they might rely on keywords without understanding the context in which these keywords apply or solve problems by memorising steps used in similar questions previously solved.
At Matrix Math, we teach problem-solving skills using our unique “Building Blocks” method. This approach systematically introduces commonly tested concepts to our students in “building blocks.” When learned well, these building blocks allow students to solve heuristic math questions systematically and efficiently, with fewer mistakes.
In addition, instead of focusing on memorisation, we teach students a 5-step thinking process called the “Matrix Method.” This method helps children logically process complex problem sums and navigate themselves towards finding the solution.
What are some examples of math concepts taught to preschoolers at Matrix Math?
For preschoolers, we introduce problem sums using stories and pictures. Young children relate better to math story sums, and these stories help trigger their young minds to think and reason. This approach lays the foundation for developing interest and skills in mathematics as they progress into primary school.
What is Matrix Math's approach to teaching numeracy concepts to preschoolers?
We avoid the common mistake of drilling children with math sums, which can yield quick results but risks killing their interest in learning. Instead, we focus on making math engaging and exciting, helping them see math as a fascinating subject. Numeracy skills for young minds are best taught through a balanced combination of math story sums, pictures, regular practices and hands-on activities.
What types of activities does Matrix Math use to build preschoolers' math skills?
Matrix Math conducts fun math activities designed specifically for preschoolers by curriculum experts. These activities combine enjoyment with math learning. For example, our content managers have adapted well-known games like Snakes and Ladders, Bingo, and Roll and Dice to incorporate math concepts. You can explore more of these activities below.
What math problem-solving techniques are taught to preschoolers?
For preschoolers, we teach problem-solving techniques through various methods, with a strong emphasis on sequencing events. We also train children to relate number statements to pictures, helping them build a solid understanding of math concepts from a young age.
