Fractions
Master all four operations with fractions, mixed numbers, and complex fraction word problems. Learn division of fractions without a calculator.
PSLE Mathematics is divided into Paper 1 (non-calculator) and Paper 2 (calculator allowed). It tests three main strands: Number & Algebra, Measurement & Geometry, and Statistics. To excel, students must master speed and accuracy in basic arithmetic for Paper 1, and heuristic problem-solving strategies for Paper 2.
Master all four operations with fractions, mixed numbers, and complex fraction word problems. Learn division of fractions without a calculator.
Understand percentage changes, discount, GST, and interest calculations. Learn visual methods like model drawing to solve percentage word problems.
Learn how to express comparisons using 2-part and 3-part ratios, find equivalent ratios, and solve common constant-part and constant-difference word problems.
Get comfortable with using algebraic letters to represent unknowns, simplifying expressions, and solving simple linear equations to lay a foundation for secondary math.
Review order of operations (BODMAS rules), common factors, multiples, HCF, LCM, and efficient mental calculation strategies for scoring full marks in Paper 1.
Study circle geometry, including area and circumference formulas (using pi), and how to dissect complex composite shapes combining circles, triangles, and squares.
Understand formulas for areas of triangles, composite figures, and the volume of cubes/cuboids. Practice working backward to find missing dimensions.
Learn key angle properties of triangles, parallelograms, rhombuses, and trapeziums to calculate unknown angles in composite geometric diagrams.
Understand how average connects to total sum and count. Practice working with missing values, additions/deletions, and weighted averages.
Master reading and extracting data from pie charts, tables, bar charts, and line graphs. Learn how to convert angles to fractions and percentages.
