PSLE A* Achievers (P6 Math)

This June, P6 pupils will work on mock papers that comprise of both short and long questions. This is a good time for all pupils to go through a comprehensive revision before the preliminary exams.

As usual, trainer’s explanation of difficult concepts in class is key to helping pupils clarify doubts and misconceptions so pupils are strongly encouraged to ask questions in class.

Practice is the other key ingredient for success in PSLE Math. Hence we are going to run an intensive revision program for PSLE Math that has systematic coverage of PSLE math topics, emphasizes on higher order challenging problems and where pupils’ presentation of solutions will be fine-tuned.

It’s already half of the battle won, boys and girls….. let’s stay focused and push on for the AL1 that you all deserve!

P4 & P5 Fusion Math Training for NMOS (Core Topics / Mock Papers)

The Preliminary Round of the National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore will be held on 27 June 2023 (Tue). Top scorers will be invited to the Special Round on 1 Aug 2023 (Tue). A separate training class for top scorers invited to the Special Round will be conducted in July (details to be confirmed later in Term 3).

We continue our intensive training to help P4 and P5 pupils in their preparation for the coming NMOS competition. Knowledge, understanding and skills will be built up through active teaching and learning in class.

Working on simulated mock papers will also give pupils more exposure to the topics and questions most relevant to the competition.

P4 & P5 Problem Solving Heuristic

Primary 5 is a crucial period of learning for pupils as they head towards their PSLE next year. As essential skills are taught, pupils build up a stronger foundation and their ability and confidence soar. Topics covered this June:

  • Average
  • Rate, Volume
  • Decimal, percentage, ratio, fraction
  • Area of triangles
  • Properties of triangles, quadrilaterals

We see this in pupils who started their P5 year with us, soaring ahead in their P6 year. We are happy for them, especially those who initially came in with low marks and lacked confidence.

As always, trainers will explain strategies in class but pupils’ attentiveness and diligence in practice is still key to their achievements. Time to work hard, boys and girls!

Science Program

Our High Achiever Science program emphasizes on the content and its delivery in an engaging manner. Specially for June Holiday Program, trainer focuses on reviewing and improving students’ writing techniques applied in the open-ended questions of topics within the PSLE Science curriculum.

Available levels: Primary 6 (Open-Ended Intensive Revision for PSLE Science: P3 to P6 Topics)

PSLE Math – Problem sums that most P6 pupils should Know

11 Apr

Question 1 Mom opened a packet of chocolates for her 2 girls, Abi and Nat. Both girls grabbed the chocolates. When Abi noticed that she had more chocolates, she gave 15 chocolates to Nat so that both of them would have an equal number of chocolates. Later, Nat decided to return 12 chocolates to Abi as she felt that Abi deserved the chocolates for her quick reaction. As a result, Nat had only 2/3 of Abi’s chocolates. How many chocolates had Nat at first?
