1) Break down the hard math questions
If the question has many concepts and it is long and wordy, your child can break down the information by highlighting the numbers and important keywords (such as ‘more than’ / ‘less than’ etc ).
Breaking down the question helps your child identify which concepts / topics that the question is testing so that they can recall their knowledge & practice.
Highlighting helps your child not to miss out on any important information.
2) Use visual aids
Does the question require your child to draw a model or a table? It might help them visualize the question better.
It helps to link the numbers visually and drawing it out may help you know which topics or concepts are being tested.
3) Practicing & asking for help when needed
Of course, this method does not apply when your child sits for their paper, but rather in their daily lives.
I’m sure you and your child know that practicing more math questions can help improve their Math.
However, most students make the mistake of not asking for help. Sounds strange doesn’t it?
Sometimes when your child does not understand a concept or why their answer is wrong, they may push it aside as they think it is a one time thing or they wait until it is nearing the exams and they start asking and get puzzled and lost.
It may be too late by then. What’s worse is that it is a fundamental concept that your child is unsure of and it can affect the rest of topics that are linked to this fundamental concept.
This mistake can happen to both primary & secondary students!
Asking questions can also help your child think deeper which would be useful during the exams when they are faced with hard Math questions!
Let your child attend our FREE Math class!
Yes you read that right! FREE Math classes held by our very own tutors!
If your child is in P5 or P6 this year, you’re in luck! Every 2 weeks, we have P5 & P6 Math classes held on Zoom.
These classes will be held by one of our Math tutors, Ms Sarah. She has been specializing in teaching and helping students achieve their AL1 in PSLE Math since 2016!

Let your child experience our teaching methods
You might be busy with your own work and sometimes your constant reminders to your child to practice more may put a strain in your parent-child relationship.
On top of that, school teachers may not have all the time in the world to guide your child personally for Math as they have other classes to teach and work to do!
That is why we are here to help! With the help from our Math tutors, your child can:
- Master trick questions
- Develop a deeper understanding of the different question types
- Establish a framework to fine-tune their problem solving process
- Figure out the patterns in hard math questions and ultimately solving them
