5 Strategies To Improve Math Scores, Backed By Research
Are you looking for ways to help your child perform better in math tests and exams?

Here are 5 strategies that are backed by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, which conducts the triennial PISA

1. Ask open-ended questions
A study that reviewed 37 research documents on classroom questioning3 found that the use of questions in teaching is positively related to fact retention and student achievement. For example at SAM we like to ask questions like "What is the problem?", "What do you need to find out?"

2. Use manipulatives
Math manipulatives are physical objects such as counters, blocks, and interlocking cubes, which are used for teaching math concepts. Manipulatives can be useful to recap and reteach concepts, or help students learn multiple concepts

3. Think about thinking
The Singapore primary math syllabus emphasises metacognition which we define as "thinking about thinking". Students who practice metacognition will consider why they selected an approach to solve a problem, it's as simple as asking questions like "How did you find that out?'

4. Adopt a holistic approach to teaching
S.A.M trainers use hands-on activities to integrate multiple strategies for teaching math concepts and thinking skills to students

5. Personalise your child’s learning experience
There is no single definition for what “personalised learning” entails, but it’s safe to say that it departs from the traditional one-size-fits-all instruction model to let students work at their own pace and ability level, and meet their learning needs.

4 Things To Do At Home To Enhance Your Child’s IQ

Research shows it is possible to create a highly conducive environment for cognitive and emotional growth.

A child surrounded by books and educational toys will leave positive imprint on their brain, which will follow through into their late teens.

Improving your child’s intelligence requires organising and streamlining your child’s thought process to suit and match a stimulating setting.

1. Open their world to maths through stories
A simple yet effective way to pique your child’s interest in math is picture books. Picture books are great tools to help young children learn math concepts

2. Create a construction or art corner at home
Set aside an area where your child can build, stack, draw, paint, or sculpt. You can part of their room into a craft and construction corner, well-stocked with paint, paper, blocks, clay, cardboard and other recycled materials. Let this be your child’s safe space to take apart and put together things and get all messy!

Math Tuition vs. Math Enrichment: How to Choose the Best Math Program for Your Child

What Is Math Tuition?


Math tuition is an academic-focused approach that revisits what students learn in school to help improve academic performance. It closely follows the school syllabus, often using school textbooks, sometimes together with proprietary materials, and typically includes homework help, extra practice, and test preparation.

What Is Math Enrichment?


Math enrichment takes a future-focused approach that supports broader math learning to help improve academic performance. It complements the school syllabus with proprietary materials, focusing on developing essential math skills, thinking abilities, and independent learning.
