“We joined The Math Classroom when my son was selected to participate in ACS Mathlympics last year. We only managed to join in the June school holidays program. With a short period of time, the teacher was helping him to focus on the Math Olympiad questions. We were so surprised when he got Silver in ACS Mathlympics and Distinction in AMC! So, we have continued the learning journey with The Math Classroom this year. The teacher is very patient and explained very clearly the concepts and guiding him towards the math competitions. Again, this year he is achieving Gold in both the ACS Mathlympics and SASMO! I really appreciate all the efforts of all the teachers!”
"My objective of enrolling Ziv in The Math Classroom was to prepare him for NUSH paper, so that he will not lose confidence. I was very surprised when he came out and told me Math paper is so easy. My only expectation-I will be happy if he can attempt all questions. Thank you The Math Classroom for guiding him, in a mere 12 lessons, he gained so much confidence in the area of Math Olympiad."
"Before attending The Math Classroom, my top challenge was answering problem questions. I often did not know how to approach solving problem questions in the right way to get to the answer, especially for difficult problem questions. I liked the small group sizes and the one on one attention that the tutor can provide me.
Also my tutor's way of guiding me towards getting the answer on my own by asking me leading questions along the way. I find it helpful in making me think and learn. My grades improved as I managed to answer problem questions with proper working shown. I got a silver for this year's Mathlympics, which would be useful for my DSA application."

School Mathematics
PSLE and Secondary School Mathematics
Follows MOE curriculum
Teaching Approach
Each lesson starts out with the teacher going through key concepts and examples, followed by students practicing problems under close guidance of the teacher. Our syllabus follows the MOE school curriculum – this ensures that we give students the opportunity to practice, and the confidence to do well in school tests and exams. We believe in maximizing each student’s potential, and providing advanced learning oppotunities whenever possible to keep them engaged and excited about mathematics. Students with potential can expect to be learning mathematics at 1 or 2 levels above their current grade in Primary School.
Assignment Types
We use 3 types of assignments to effectively instruct our students
Heuristics & Problem-Solving
Every week, students will be learning two different heuristic approaches. Within each heuristic, questions are arranged in increasing difficulty to enhance student’s critical thinking and problem-solving skills.
To assess students’ ability to understand and apply concepts, questions involving different heuristic approaches will be mixed within the Problem-Solving segment. Students are tasked to distinguish among the questions and employ the right heuristics to solve it.
Challenging problem sums are included to deepen students’ learning through exploring appropriate methods and solutions. This allows students to easily reconcile and build new knowledge by making connections to their prior knowledge.
Topical Review
Questions in every new topic are arranged in three levels of difficulty to consolidate and extend students’ learning from school. The first level reinforces the basic concepts, the second level develops exam readiness, and the third level aims to stretch students' analytical skills for non-routine questions. This promotes progressive learning and enables students to achieve competency and confidence in the topic.
Mastery
Practice makes perfect. The Mastery worksheet will be assigned for students who require regular practices to hone their mathematical skills. With extensive practices, the goal is for students to improve and ultimately strengthen their ability to transfer practiced skills to more complex problem sums.
Our Learning Focus
Foundation-Building
Primary 1 and 2
Acquiring Skills
Primary 3 and 4
Critical Thinking and
In-Depth Understanding
Primary 5 and 6
In this stage, we equip students with critical thinking skills, advanced problem solving techniques and in-depth understanding of math topics in order to score well in the toughest math exams. We will teach them alternate problem-solving techniques such as branching and Venn diagram methods. These methods will equip them with all the tools needed to solve the toughest questions in the most challenging topics, including ratio, percentage and fractions.
Algebraic Expertise
Secondary 1 and 2
Algebra is the centerpiece of the entire secondary math syllabus. Our curriculum ensures that our students will be equipped with competent mastery of algebra. Questions are arranged in increasing difficulty to emphasize on conceptual understanding, fundamental techniques and applications. We include challenging problems to expose students to higher order thinking that will give them a competitive edge in school.
