Description
Important Topics and Concepts
This 3-Day comprehensive math revision programme aims to revisit important topics and concepts commonly tested in the PSLE Math paper to ensure your child is sufficiently prepared for the exam.
Heuristics and Higher Order Thinking Questions
Heuristics and non-routine questions will also be included and solved using our tested and proven S.M.A.R.T. conceptual approach to stretch your child a little and give them the unfair advantage over their peers for solving challenging questions meant to sift out the high achievers in PSLE exams.
