Teaching Methodologies

Our curriculum makes use of the following core methodologies to help students master the math heuristics needed for them to excel:
CPA Approach
UDSC Teaching Method
Transfer of Learning Teaching Method
CPA Approach

We have modernised the classic Concrete-Pictorial-Abstract (CPA) approach by leveraging our proprietary technology to bring math to life for students. We start with relatable examples and gradually move on to abstract ideas, utilising various visual, interactive, and gamified features to help students understand abstract concepts and internalise the problem-solving process.

Concrete
Explore a math concept by interacting with our animated courseware and gamified content.
Pictorial
Create visual representations of the math concept by drawing diagrams and models.
Abstract
Link the visual representations with math symbols and equations to solve math problems.
Our innovative approach fosters high-order thinking and problem-solving skills by encouraging students to apply math concepts to different everyday scenarios. This engaging and meaningful learning experience inspires students to feel confident and excited about math.
UDSC Teaching Method

In our classes, our teachers will guide students using this research-backed method. Students will be able to accurately understand the topic, analyse the core of the problem and quickly find solutions to solve the test questions effectively.

Understand the Problem
Understand the topic and analyse the implied information. Ensure that students thoroughly understands the meaning of the questions
Decide on an Approach
Analyse problems and understand the core of the problem. Develop students' mastery of problem solving
Solve the Problem
Focus on arithmetic and reinforce the knowledge of solution steps. Ensure that students avoid losing points on the details of their answers
Check the Solution
Incorporate solutions to the problem and ensure the accuracy of results. Develop checking habits to reduce errors and careless mistakes
Transfer of Learning Teaching Method

We aim to help students develop essential problem-solving skills and teach them to apply their newly learnt skills in new situations. Through this integral learning process, our students will be empowered to become self-directed learners who are confident in mastering math.

An example of how the Constant Total concept can be applied to various situations
The total number of birds remains unchanged after birds fly from one tree to another
The total amount of money remains unchanged after money is shared between two people
The total number of people remains unchanged after friends walk around between two groups, and
The total volume of water remains unchanged after water flows in and out between two pails
Breaking down the solution into steps

Step 01

Find the invariance

Step 02

Analyse the relationship between the sum and units

Step 03

Draw a model

Step 04

Infer the value of each unit
