For this June holidays, PSLEMath has designed a short course for all our students. This is a focus course that targets the core heuristic concepts that are commonly tested in schools. This holiday programme will provide current students a strong reinforcement of what they have already learnt. For new students, it will provide a clear […]
Learning heuristic problem sums involving “before”, “change” and “after” systematically. When reading such problem sums, the student will need to identify the 3 stages and understand which of the 3 stages the Q is asking for. Knowing which stage the Q is asking for, will help the student apply the correct number statements. This is […]
One of the earliest heuristic concepts a 7 years old will learn is the “Part and whole” concept. In upper primary, “Part and whole” concepts will develop to involve fractions and percentages. Thus, a systematic learning structure, which encompasses the basic building blocks of heuristic problem solving skills is important. For lower primary, the key […]
Please take note that in some schools, half a mark will be deducted if notation are not explained.
There are some bicycles and 4 tricycles in the park. There are a total of 28 wheels. How many bicycles are there? Number of Tricycle wheels → 4 x 3 = 12 Total number of bicycle wheels → 28 – 12 = 16 Number of bicycles → 16 ÷ 2 = 8 There are 8 […]
