## PSLE Maths Mastery

*Problem sums are a teachable skill. We teach it, 1-on-1, without the centre queue.*

A 12-month live program aimed squarely at PSLE mathematics, taught on the MOE syllabus at Singapore-friendly evening hours. The PSLE separates thinkers from drillers: multi-step problem sums, a no-calculator Paper 1, and AL scoring where consistency is everything. This course teaches the model method as a thinking tool rather than a template, names and trains the heuristics explicitly, builds calculator-free fluency in every class, and closes with paper craft — time discipline, working presentation and the mark-banking habits that protect AL bands.

**What Makes This Different:**

- The model method taught as reasoning — part-whole, comparison, before-after and re-cutting — not as a ritual the school demands
- Problem sums taught by structure family, so new problems look like old friends in disguise
- MOE heuristics named and trained explicitly: work backwards, guess-and-check with discipline, restate, spot patterns
- Paper 1 fluency drills open every class, because AL bands are lost one careless mark at a time
- 1-on-1 attention no centre batch of fifteen can give, at Singapore evening hours
- Understanding-first: a child who can draw what the numbers are doing owns the problem
- One dedicated mentor tracking exactly where your child's reasoning thins
- Honest AL guidance from real timed-paper evidence, never invented promises

### Learning Path

**Phase 1:** The method rebuilt properly: number fluency, model drawing as thinking, and the first problem-sum families

**Phase 2:** The P5-P6 canon: fractions of remainder, ratio, percentage, speed and geometry — family by family

**Phase 3:** Exam craft: Paper 1 and 2 technique, timed papers, mark-banking discipline and the calm P6 runway to the PSLE

**Career Outcomes:**

- An AL band that reflects your child's real ability, not their exam nerves
- Problem-sum confidence that carries into secondary E and A Maths
- Calculator-free fluency that keeps paying long after the PSLE
- A child who reads a hard problem and starts drawing instead of freezing

## PHASE 1: The Method, Rebuilt Properly (Months 1-4)

The gap behind most PSLE struggles is a model method learned as template instead of thinking. This phase rebuilds number fluency and model drawing from meaning, then applies both to the first problem-sum families.

### Month 1

#### Month 1: Diagnostic + Number Fluency, Bare-Handed

**Weeks:** Weeks 1-4

**Week 1:** Full diagnostic: model-method depth, Paper 1 fluency, and exactly where problem sums break — with an honest AL baseline

**Week 2:** Whole-number operations at Paper 1 tempo; estimation as a checking habit

**Week 3:** Fractions as numbers: equivalence, comparison and operations from pictures first

**Week 4:** Decimals and the fraction-decimal-percentage bridge, to fluency

### Month 2 3

#### Months 2-3: Model Drawing as Thinking

**Weeks:** Weeks 5-12

**Week 5 6:** Part-whole models: the child draws, the mentor questions — never the reverse

**Week 7 8:** Comparison models: more-than, less-than and times-as-many, made visible

**Week 9 10:** Unit thinking: when to cut a bar into parts, and the re-cutting flexibility templates cannot supply

**Week 11 12:** First structure families: sum-and-difference and equal-stage problems, solved by model and defended aloud

### Month 4

#### Month 4: Heuristics, Named and Trained

**Weeks:** Weeks 13-16

**Week 13:** Work backwards: end-state problems unwound step by step

**Week 14:** Guess-and-check with discipline: the organised table, not wild stabs

**Week 15:** Restate and simplify: turning wordy problems into drawable ones

**Week 16:** Phase checkpoint: mixed problem-sum set solved, explained and extended

## PHASE 2: The P5-P6 Canon, Family by Family (Months 5-9)

The problem-sum territory where the PSLE decides its top bands, taught by structure family so your child recognises the skeleton under every costume: fractions of remainder, ratio and its changes, percentage, speed and geometry.

### Month 5

#### Month 5: Fractions of Remainder and Branch Models

**Weeks:** Weeks 17-20

**Week 17 18:** The remainder concept made visible: branch models and the re-cut into common parts

**Week 19 20:** Classic remainder problems at PSLE standard, including the multi-stage versions that humble adults

### Month 6

#### Month 6: Ratio, and Ratio That Changes

**Weeks:** Weeks 21-24

**Week 21 22:** Ratio as units: equivalent ratios, sharing and the unit-value engine

**Week 23 24:** Before-and-after problems: changed ratios, constant totals and constant differences — the PSLE's signature family

### Month 7

#### Month 7: Percentage in Every Costume

**Weeks:** Weeks 25-28

**Week 25 26:** Percentage of, increase and decrease, and GST-and-discount chains

**Week 27 28:** Reverse percentage and percentage-with-model problems at exam standard

### Month 8

#### Month 8: Speed, Rate and the Journey Problems

**Weeks:** Weeks 29-32

**Week 29 30:** Speed as a rate with meaning: distance-time reasoning before formulas

**Week 31 32:** Meeting, catching-up and average-speed problems, drawn on journey diagrams

### Month 9

#### Month 9: Geometry, Area and the Visual Problems

**Weeks:** Weeks 33-36

**Week 33 34:** Angles, triangles and quadrilaterals with justification language; composite figures

**Week 35 36:** Area and perimeter problem sums including the shaded-region classics; circles at P6 standard

## PHASE 3: Paper Craft and the PSLE Runway (Months 10-12)

Understanding becomes AL bands here: Paper 1 speed without a calculator, Paper 2 working discipline, timed full papers with review rituals, and a peak plan that walks into the PSLE calm.

### Month 10

#### Month 10: Paper 1 and Paper 2 as Different Skills

**Weeks:** Weeks 37-40

**Week 37 38:** Paper 1 craft: mental strategies, no-calculator discipline and the one-mark questions banked fast

**Week 39 40:** Paper 2 craft: presentation of working, method marks, and calculator use that helps instead of wastes time

### Month 11

#### Month 11: Timed Papers and Mark Banking

**Weeks:** Weeks 41-44

**Week 41 42:** Full timed papers at exam pacing; the banking discipline — secure marks first, wrestle the monsters last

**Week 43 44:** Review rituals: why each mark was lost, and the named fix; error-log closure begins

### Month 12

#### Month 12: The Calm Runway

**Weeks:** Weeks 45-52

**Week 45 48:** Weakest-family rotations by error-log priority; confidence work through problems your child can nearly do, then can

**Week 49 52:** Final paper cycles with documented progression; peak-week plan — light practice, rest, and the exam met as a rehearsed place

## Faqs

**Question:** Is this course aligned to the MOE syllabus and the actual PSLE format?

**Answer:** Yes — the MOE primary mathematics syllabus is the spine, and exam work uses the real format: the no-calculator Paper 1, Paper 2 with calculator, and AL scoring awareness throughout. We verify current SEAB formats for your child's cohort rather than assuming.

**Question:** How do the class timings work from Singapore?

**Answer:** Comfortably — Singapore evenings after school and CCA map to our mentors' prime teaching hours, so 6 to 9 pm SGT slots are genuinely available, as are weekend mornings. You pick two weekly slots and they stay yours.

**Question:** My child computes well but freezes on problem sums. Can this be fixed?

**Answer:** Yes — problem sums are the most teachable 'talent' in Singapore maths. They break into structure families, each with a model shape and heuristic. We teach the families, then the re-cutting flexibility that separates thinkers from template-followers. A term of that work changes what your child sees when they read a problem.

**Question:** My child already attends a tuition centre. Why switch?

**Answer:** Sometimes you should not — a child thriving near the top of a good batch should stay. The switch wins when the batch pace is wrong in either direction: the struggling child whose specific gaps never get airtime, or the capable child rehearsing what they already know. Here, every minute of the hour aims at your child.

**Question:** When should PSLE prep start?

**Answer:** The full 12-month arc suits P5, finishing on the P6 runway; P6 students join a compressed version prioritised by the diagnostic. Earlier starts (P4) spend longer in the method phase, which is the highest-return work there is.

**Question:** What AL improvement can we expect?

**Answer:** We will not invent a number. What you get: an honest baseline in week one, the highest-value families attacked first, and timed-paper evidence you can track yourself. AL bands reward consistency, and consistency is a trainable behaviour.

**Question:** What does the course cost?

**Answer:** Small-group classes are ₹1,499 per month and private 1-on-1 mentorship is ₹4,999 per month in India; international students — including Singapore families — pay USD $100 per month for group and $150 for 1-on-1, with 8 live one-hour classes a month and recordings included. Singapore centres typically charge SGD 250-500 monthly for batches of 8-15.

**Question:** Can we try it before paying?

**Answer:** Yes. Every child starts with a free live demo class at a Singapore evening hour that doubles as the diagnostic — no card details, no obligation.
