Weekly Modular Classes
Our 4-module series of classes spans 4 terms in a year. Each module comprises 8 to 10 lessons, depending on the level (Primary 3 – 6). Each lesson lasts 1½ hours (Primary 3 – 5) or 2 hours (Primary 6).
The best learning outcome is achieved when all 4 modules, which complement one another, are taken in succession. However, each module can also be taken standalone where the student wishes to focus on the particular technique.
Confidence comes with this simple, logical yet extremely powerful technique
Unit Transfer Method is used for tackling questions with whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios, percentages and, for P6, rate & speed. It is applicable to nearly all problem scenarios, including Before & After, Excess & Shortage, Repeated Identity, Equal Identities, Two Variables and Proportion.
Students will learn the process of restating a problem, partially solving it, to simplify it and finally solving it completely.
Confidence comes with fast and efficient techniques for visual and tactile learners
Visualise, perceive, analyse and solve problems using Drawing Diagram/Model and Acting It Out techniques. Go beyond conventional modelling with Stack and Split Models to solve more challenging problems fast. The alternative Branching Method will help the less-visual learner.
Learn to identify keywords, to determine the most effective approach for a problem. The process of restating a problem, partially solving it, to simplify it and finally solving it completely will be reiterated.
Confidence comes with being skilled in a wider range of heuristics techniques
Students will learn more heuristics techniques like Guess & Check, Supposition, Systematic Listing, Pattern, Working Backwards and Spatial Visualisation.
With Spatial Visualisation, students will develop the skill to mentally see and manipulate one or more shapes or objects without any physical aid, and to project it on paper as they pen their answers to figure-based problems. Spatial Visualisation is needed for topics like areas and perimeters, volume and geometry.
Confidence comes with high-level analysis, synthesis and evaluation skills
This module is the culmination of all the heuristics techniques taught in Modules 1, 2 and 3 – a consolidation of all the 11 Primary-level heuristics techniques identified by the Singapore Ministry of Education.
Students will learn how to identify the most appropriate heuristics to apply when faced with unfamiliar questions.
This module will hone students’ problem-solving skills.
Workshops for Students
We have different types of ad hoc workshops for students. Each type serves a different purpose. Ad Hoc Workshops by Modules help students in specific areas such as particular techniques or topics, etc. Intensive Revision Workshops help students who feel they need to catch up and stay on top of things. Bridging Workshops prepare students for when they move up to the next level when school begins.
Unit Transfer Method Workshop (Primary 5 & 6)
Master the Unit Transfer Method to tackle 90% of the challenging problems across topics of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios and percentages!
Model Approach to Problem-Solving (P4)
Visualise, perceive and analyse problems using effective Drawing Model techniques.
Pattern Workshop (P5 & P6)
Know the right techniques for Pattern questions. Our Spatial Visualisation techniques will equip students to tackle questions involving picture repetition and number sequence.
Spatial Visualisation @Area & Perimeter Workshop (P5 & P6)
Develop your child’s ability to “manipulate” composite shapes, using Spatial Visualisation techniques to solve challenging Area and Perimeter Problems!
Heuristics Approach to Problem-solving Workshop (P4, P5 & P6)
Students will learn commonly-used heuristics techniques like Guess & Check, Supposition, Systematic Listing, Pattern, Working Backwards and Spatial Visualisation.
Unit Transfer Method @ Speed Workshop (P6)
Secure every mark for Speed-related questions with the appropiate Unit Transfer Method and not just through practice and memorisation!
Unit Transfer Method @ Rate Workshop (P5 & P6)
Rate and Speed are close cousins as they both employ time concepts. Master Unit Transfer Method techniques to solve challenging Rate problems!
Spatial Visualisation @ Geometry Workshop (P5 & P6)
Students anchor their ability to answer Geometry questions with the help of Spatial Visualisation techniques.
Unit Transfer Method @ Speed Workshop (P6)
Secure every mark for Speed-related questions with the appropriate Unit Transfer Method and not just through practice and memorisation!
PSLE Intensive Revision Workshop (P6)
Absolute last revision before THE exam! Recap heuristics techniques. This workshop shares pointers on common misconceptions and traps, including possible unfamiliar scenarios!
SA2 Intensive Revision Workshop (P4, P5 & P6)
Prepare your child well for SA2! Equip your child with essential heuristics techniques to ace the assessment that tests students’ understanding of the year’s topics in a full-length paper.
Headstart Workshop (P3 going P4)
At P4, Model Drawings are key to visually analyse and solve complex mathematical problems. Students learn to apply techniques like part-whole model, comparison model, and before & after model.
Headstart Workshop (P4 going P5)
Give your child a headstart with the Unit Transfer Method which helps solve 90% of all challenging maths questions. The workshop covers topics such as whole number, fraction, decimal, ratio & percentage.
Headstart Workshop (P5 going P6)
Give your child a headstart with the Unit Transfer Method which helps solve 90% of all challenging maths questions. The workshop covers topics such as whole number, fraction, decimal, ratio & percentage.
Workshops for Parents
We organise workshops and webinars. These help parents understand heuristics, and give them a preview of our curriculum and programmes. These help parents who want to play a bigger role in helping their child with school work.
Unit Transfer Method (Parents with children in P4 – P6)
Help your child master the Unit Transfer Method to solve 90% of the challenging problems across topics of whole numbers, fractions, decimals, ratios and percentages – with ease and confidence.
Model Approach to Problem-solving (Parents with children in P4 – P6)
See how effective Drawing Model / Diagram techniques enable your child to visualise, perceive and analyse challenging problems clearly.
Heuristics Approach to Problem-solving (Parents with children in P4 – P6)
Learn how your child can apply commonly-used heuristics lke Guess & Check, Supposition, Systematic Listing Working Backwards and Pattern.
