The Edu Experience’s unique ACE approach divides the Mathematics syllabus into the 3 major milestones that Primary students reach.
The ACE approach:
• Accelerate Arithmetic (Primary 1 and 2)
• Conquer Challenges (Primary 3 and 4)
• Excel in Examinations (Primary 5 and 6)
Our Mathematics curriculum for lower primary centres around helping students develop a keen interest in Mathematics and improving their ability to understand the essentials of arithmetic. Arithmetic is the fundamentals of Mathematics, which includes the operations of numbers: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Students need to understand the rules of numbers and how they work so they may add and subtract more accurately and quickly.

Primary 1 can be stressful for children as they transit from Kindergarten to Primary School. At The Edu Experience, we make the transition pain-free and seamless by using fun and engaging methods to help students learn leisurely for a start and develop an interest in Mathematics.
Parents have the common misconception that lower primary Mathematics is easy, which leads them to trivialise the importance of learning these fundamental concepts. When students enter the upper primary levels with weak foundations, they struggle with higher-order problem sums and Mathematics as a whole, which is why getting an early start is crucial. Our interactive programme can help little ones grasp and comprehend concepts with ease, 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 acquired in lower Primary, students are able to solve increasingly complex Mathematics problems.

At The Edu Experience, we introduce heuristics to our P3 and P4 students. They pick up the problem-solving techniques and strategies needed to analyse and solve complex word problems.
At this stage, the difficulty of students’ schoolwork increases exponentially, and they might not be able to fully grasp the concepts in school. Our programme will help students clarify their doubts and work on their weaknesses. They will practise consistently through worksheets and activities and gain the confidence needed to tackle questions and do well in school.
As students progress to Primary 5 and start preparing for the PSLE, it is important for them to have built a strong foundation so that they may solve problems more efficiently, and are familiar with heuristic strategies and processes. This is why Mathematics tuition is important at this level, as we often find students with weaker foundations in Primary 3 and 4 struggling to catch up in Primary 5 and 6.

Mock exam papers play a crucial role in preparing students for their Mathematics examinations and their importance cannot be overlooked.
Most schools have weighted assessments that are condensed and shorter than the actual PSLE papers. Some P5 students experience full examination papers in the PSLE format for the first time during their year-end examinations. This comes as a shock to them, and they are unable to handle the length and the demands of the papers. As a result, many P5 and P6 students do not do well because they are foreign to the stringent requirements of the papers.
Here at The Edu Experience, our P5 and P6 students sit for full mock exam papers. Our mock papers help students:
1. Familiarise themselves with the exam format
Our mock papers follow the actual exam format, allowing students to become accustomed to the format, the different types of questions, and the time constraints they will face during the actual exam. Being familiar with the format of examination papers will greatly reduce a child’s anxiety during the actual examination.
2. Identify their areas of weakness
Mock exam papers allow our teachers to identify the specific areas that students are struggling with and provide in-depth feedback. This enables students to receive help for topics that they are weak in.
3. Learn proper time management
Our mock papers are timed. This trains our students to manage their time effectively during the examination. They learn to allocate the proper amount of time to each question based on mark allocation and difficulty.
4. Pick up examination strategies
Our mock papers expose students to different examination strategies, such as tackling multiple-choice questions, showing workings clearly, and managing emotions that may arise during the paper.
5. Build examination stamina
Regular practice with mock papers helps our students build their mental and physical stamina so they may endure long examination durations and focus better during the actual PSLE.
