36% of the PSLE Math paper starts here.
If I were taking PSLE Math today, this is where I would focus first.

🔹 Numbers – 27%

🔹 Ratio & Percentage – 9%

Together, that’s 36% of the paper.
Most parents see these as separate topics.
They’re not.

Students who struggle with fractions often struggle with ratio and percentage too because the underlying concepts are closely connected.

One weakness. Not three.

But here’s the important part.
Scoring AL1 isn’t about mastering just one topic.

The students who consistently score AL1 and AL2 are strong across all five strands:

✅ Numbers & Ratio/Percentage – 36%

✅ Measurement – 24%

✅ Statistics, Rate & Algebra – 22%

✅ Geometry – 18%

Each strand tests a different skill.

Measurement and Geometry require strong visualisation.
Statistics requires careful interpretation of data.
And Numbers remains the foundation that supports almost everything else.

Less than 4 months to PSLE.
Prelims begin in August.

June is one of the last opportunities to close learning gaps before the exam stretch begins.
That’s why our June P6 Workshops are organised by strand, allowing students to focus on the specific areas they need most.

✅ Guided practice

✅ Detailed explanations

✅ Immediate walkthroughs

✅ Maximum 10 students per class

Every F1 driver is talented.

But talent alone doesn’t make them champions.

Jeriel — Sec 1 at Swiss Cottage and a huge F1 fan — realised that the same thing applies to students too.

The best students aren’t just “smart.”

They build the same 4 qualities great drivers have:

1️⃣ Driven — wanting to truly understand, not just pass

2️⃣ Resilience — making mistakes, then trying again

3️⃣ Open Mind — listening, adjusting, trying new methods

4️⃣ Discipline — showing up consistently, not just during exam season
Because improvement doesn’t happen overnight.

Even F1 drivers don’t start at F1.

They climb:
F4 → F3 → F2 → F1
Step by step. 🏎️
And honestly?
Grades work the same way too.

P2 is where the trap is set.

Look at this P2 question:
“Sam has 8 sweets. Tim has 3 sweets less than Sam. How many altogether?”

Most P2 students will calculate it mentally — 5 + 8 = 13 — and get the right answer.

But model drawing isn’t about getting the right answer at P2. It’s a spiral skill that builds across every year. The real habit is bigger than drawing:

✏️ Break the question into smaller parts
✏️ Annotate what’s given
✏️ Annotate what’s asked
✏️ Then draw

If your child skips this at P2, there’s nothing for upper primary to spiral up from.

By P5, they’re staring at questions like this — from our actual June mock exam:

“Ravi had 4 times as many 20¢ coins as 50¢ coins. He exchanged 100 of his 20¢ coins for 50¢ coins. Now he has 38 more 50¢ coins than 20¢ coins. How many more 20¢ coins did he start with?”

You can’t solve this in your head. They need the spiral skill. If it isn’t there — they freeze.

That’s not “weak at math.” That’s a foundation gap. And it’s fixable.

This June, we rebuild from the right tier:

🟢 BASIC — Part-Whole + Comparison
For P2, P3, and P4 still struggling with problem sums.

🟡 INTERMEDIATE — Repeated Identity
The default for most P3 and P4 students.

🔴 ADVANCED — Before-Change-After
For P3 and P4 already confident with comparison.

🔵 P5 — Problem-Solving Workshops
Before-Change-After Concept + Remainder Concept.
The earlier you rebuild, the easier it is.

DM us ‘MODEL’ with your child’s level and one line on what they got stuck on. We’ll match the right workshop.

Even Kimi Antonelli can’t skip Math.
 
Mercedes’ 18-year-old rookie flew home from his first F1 podium to sit his school exams — his mum insisted. And the subject he struggles with most? Math.
 
If he can’t skip it, neither can your child.
 
PSLE Math is 2h 30 min. O-Level Math is 4h 30 min. Longer than an F1 race.
 
Meet Jeriel — Sec 1 at Swiss Cottage, Mercedes fan. He thinks Math is basically F1. Hear him out 👆
 
Here’s what most parents don’t know about mock exams in Singapore:
 
Your child sits the paper. Gets a score. Goes home.
 
That’s it.
 
We do it differently. Every paper gets walked through with your child — immediately, while the questions are still fresh. Then you take home a written analysis: actual score vs potential score, careless mistakes vs conceptual gaps, and exactly which topics to revise next.
A score without a walkthrough is just a score.

"WA is actually very different from Prelims and End-of-Year exams."

That's something Mahaut realised last year… slightly the hard way 😅

Because short WA papers? One thing. Full papers, stamina, and revising old topics consistently? A whole different challenge.
And here's the scary bit:
 
📅 Some Prelims start in August 📅 Some EOY exams begin in September

Which means once June is over… there's basically no buffer left.

So Mahaut's using the June holidays to: ✅fix weaker topics ✅practise full papers ✅build stamina before exams begin

She's 12. Speaks 3 languages. And actually likes Math. 🌊

Meet Mahaut.

P6, taking PSLE this year. Drama, taekwondo, drawing portraits. Somehow fits it all in.

She wants to be a marine biologist. And yes, marine biologists use math.

This June, she's coming back for our holiday workshops. So are a lot of her friends.

They came from Raffles Girls Primary School. They did not get into an elite secondary school.

DSA applications are opening soon. It is worth thinking about.

Alicia went to Bukit Batok Secondary. Kay Ling went to Queensway Secondary.
Kay Ling is now in ACJC. H2 Math is her favourite subject. Alicia is in Ngee Ann Poly, studying what she loves.

“No, it doesn’t matter at all, honestly. Even if you end up in a neighbourhood school, it can still benefit you a lot. Sometimes it might even fit you better.” — Kay Ling

Every child is different. Some thrive in a competitive environment. Some grow faster when they have room to lead, to try, and to be seen.

There is no wrong answer. Only the right fit for your child.

“If I put my mind to it, I can achieve it.” — Alicia

The school doesn’t define your child. Full stop. 💚
