Bar model, units & parts, supposition, working backwards — they can recite them all. Then the PSLE Paper 2 question lands and they stare. Five minutes gone before the first stroke of pencil. By the time they commit to a method, the long question's slipped out of reach and Q17 never gets touched.
"I knew it was bar model. I just couldn't decide which one — three quantities or units and parts. So I tried algebra. Wrong answer."
We drill a heuristic decision tree by sight — three trigger phrases per heuristic, repeated until the choice is automatic. Then weekly timed Paper 2 mocks from Term 2 lock in the under-90-seconds-to-commit rule. We've seen this move the dial for kids who already knew the maths.
Yes — that's my child →Every topic in the Primary 6 / PSLE Math syllabus, taught in the order that builds skill. Refreshed yearly against the latest SEAB exam reports.
The methods we teach with — applied across the term, calibrated to where each student needs them most.
Most lost marks are habit, not knowledge. We track them, name them, and drill them out.
The PSLE-style problem: "At first, Adam had $40 more than Ben. After each gave $20 to charity, Adam had twice as much as Ben. How much did Ben have at first?" Most students start on calculations. We start on the diagram. Two bars: Adam's $40 longer than Ben's. After both lose $20, the difference between the bars is unchanged — still $40. Adam's remaining = 2 × Ben's remaining, so Ben's remaining = $40 (the difference), meaning Ben started with $40 + $20 = $60. The diagram does the heavy lifting. Three lines of working, full marks, every time.
No surprises. The structure is the same week to week — students settle in fast.
"Under her guidance, my son made a remarkable transformation in Math. The teaching approach not only built his understanding of complex concepts but also reignited his confidence and passion for the subject."
Each term covers 8 weekly lessons. Missed lessons are credited into the next term — credit applies for public holidays, school holidays, official school activities, and absences with a medical certificate.
