Our Mathematics curriculum for lower primary centres around helping our young learners develop a keen interest in Mathematics and improving their ability to understand the essentials of arithmetic.
Arithmetic is the fundamentals and most important branch of Mathematics, which includes the operations of numbers. These operations are Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication, and Division. Students need to understand the rules of numbers and how they work. They need to understand the operations of number bonds so that they can add and subtract more accurately and quickly. This process takes time but with exposure and practice, young learners will be able to work on them more effectively and efficiently.

Primary 1 can be stressful as children are transiting from Kindergarten to Primary School, which equates to tougher concepts taught in class and a gradually heavier workload. Therefore, it is never too early to start tuition as our curriculum uses fun and engaging methods to help them develop an interest in math and learn leisurely for a start.
As students grow older, the mathematical concepts get more complex and the math problems to solve get tougher. Therefore, Primary 1 and Primary 2 are important educational blocks to laying a strong foundation and being confident with the core mathematical concepts. Our math tuition curriculum can help them grasp and comprehend these concepts, which will benefit them greatly as they progress.
Through thought-provoking questions, we hone students’ critical thinking and analytical skills. Supported by the foundational knowledge from lower Primary math, students are able to conquer increasingly complex math problems.
Students learn through:
At The Edu Experience, we introduce Mathematical heuristics to students when they reach Primary 3 and Primary 4, to facilitate problem solving techniques and strategies to analyse complex word problems.
At this stage, the difficulty of students’ schoolwork increases continuously, and they might not fully grasp the concepts during classes in school. Our math tuition program comes into place as students get to clarify their doubts they have from school and from there, target and work on their weaknesses. To fully comprehend these math concepts and skills, students get to practice consistently through worksheets and activities, helping them achieve better results in school and boost confidence in the subject.
As students’ progress to Primary 5 and start preparing for PSLE math, it is important to have built a strong foundation at this level, so that they can solve problems efficiently, and are familiar with heuristic strategies and processes. Which is why math tuition is important at this level, as we often find students with weaker foundations in P3 & P4 struggling to catch up in P5 & P6.

We cover diverse question types and empower students with our easy-to-recall, step-by-step EDU method. We provide high quality and challenging practices to fully equip students with diverse math problems, so that they are prepared for the PSLE math exam.

Primary 5 is a critical year with the sudden increase in difficulty from Primary 4 to Primary 5 math, resulting in many students struggling to cope with the advanced topics and concepts taught in school. As the syllabus taught in Primary 5 prepares students for PSLE math papers, it is crucial for students to have a strong understanding of the concepts being taught and be exposed to the PSLE exam format. At The Edu Experience, our math tuition program provides students with stimulated exam conditions where they can get used to the stress to manage their time well.
Needless to say, Primary 6 is the most important year for students as they face the challenge of the PSLE exams that will determine their education route in Secondary school. Our PSLE math tuition curriculum will help students consolidate knowledge from the past 5 years. Grasping the heuristics concepts and having the ability to solve the complex math problems given to them requires good analysis skills and the correct application of methods to each question. Students should be confident in using different heuristics and/or combinations of heuristics, as Singapore math focuses on problem solving. Our curriculum will provide students with these skills and capabilities by offering unlimited tuition hours for students who needs more help and keeping track of their improvement through assessments and tests.
Children are not inherently weak at any subject. There are a few reasons why children find Math so difficult.
1) A child struggling with Math may lack building blocks inhibiting their advancement in the subject.
2) A child may be having a hard time seeing how what they are learning in the classrooms relate to the world outside.
3) A child has difficulty paying attention as Math lessons are just too boring.
The good news is most children see improvements in their results with guidance, practice, and encouragement.
At The Edu Experience, we use learning materials that relates to real-world problems to enable students to appreciate the importance of what they are leaning. Our teachers are professionally trained. They are well versed with MOE’s syllabus, which we follow closely. Our lessons are fun and engaging, making math more enjoyable. We build on students’ strengths and understanding of math. When they are keen to learn, math becomes easy to them. Students’ confidence is boosted when they grasped new concepts and are able to solve complex problems.
We offer a flat fee of $350 per month for our Primary School Math tuition Programme. Students that sign up can attend the respective subjects they have signed up for based on our class schedules. Each of our math tuition sessions are 2 hours, and students can choose to attend for as many sessions as they want at no extra charge!
Upon Enrolment, students are also entitled to FREE unlimited Study Group lessons. During Study Group classes, teachers will supervise students’ revision and clarify any doubts they have immediately to facilitate an effective learning environment.
It is never too early to start tuition! As tuition doesn’t necessarily have to be challenging and intensive, some children start as early as during preschool or kindergarten to explore and construct knowledge before formal schooling. At The Edu Experience, we believe students can start math tuition at Primary 1 to ease them into formal schooling and provide them with extra support as they may be overwhelmed with the introduction to new subject areas.
To register your child for our Math Tuition Programme, simply drop by our centre for a visit, give us a call, or send us an email. We will provide you with further information and assistance regarding the enrolment process from there. You can also sign up for a free trial for any of our Tuition Programmes: Primary Math, English, or Science.
Upon enrolment, students get to reserve one fixed, weekly lesson slot from the Academic timetable that they will attend throughout the term. Students that miss their lesson can attend other sessions within the same week.
At The Edu Experience, our materials are carefully planned. We explain what the topic is about to students and how it relates to the world around us. Our worksheets are progressive with detailed examples and explanations. Students see step by step success as they are able to solve increasingly difficult questions. We engage students with hands-on activities and the use of technology. Each child is equipped with a tablet that we use to play math games at the end of the lesson. New concepts taught are reinforced as students have fun.
All our classes are conducted physically in our centre at Tampines. In case of government-mandated stoppage of in-person lessons, all classes will continue to run as online sessions. This applies to both our Holiday and Academic timetable.
The digital interface within our classrooms is one key learning experience for our students where digital whiteboards and furniture can be easily re-orientated and reconfigured to accommodate the required social distancing in a blink of an eye. Our learning space aims to give our students a learning space that would foster creativity and allow them to collaborate, play and grow.
