Is A-Math giving your child a headache?
A-math, or Additional Mathematics, can be a challenging subject for many students, and it’s not uncommon for your child to make A-math mistakes.
However, understanding and learning from these mistakes is an essential part of the learning process.
Today, we will delve into some of the common A-math mistakes that students make and provide valuable insights on how to avoid them.
By identifying and addressing these mistakes, your child can strengthen their grasp of A-math concepts and enhance their problem-solving skills.
1) Not knowing the hidden info
A-math questions are not as direct and straightforward as E-math questions. Many times, there is important information embedded underneath the question statements.
These are the key information that will help students get started.
2) Poor understanding of fundamental concepts
Your child may not have a clear understanding of some fundamental concepts and this can be costly as they can also appear in other topics.
Some fundamental A-math topics include Algebra. So start practicing and mastering the fundamental topics early and your child will be able to handle the tougher topics!
3) Lacking flexibility
Some questions would include 2-3 different topics which can easily confuse some students or they are unable to identify what topics are involved.
Some ways for your child to become more flexible include:
- Strengthening fundamental topics (back to point 2)
- Look for connections between the topics and how they relate to each other
- Breaking down the question can help your child better identify the specific math topic.
