About this homepage

This homepage documents all the challenging mathematics questions from various SA1, SA2 Mathematics test papers from the top schools in Singapore after my little boy had completed them. :)

The objective is simple. I want to record down only the good questions for his future references too.

In the next few blogs, I am going to show "year 2018-Primary 3" and "year 2018-Primary 4" good mathematic test questions.

Do purchase the "Intensive Maths Drills" series below. They are very good books. Popular Bookstore sometimes had 20% discount (S$7.90 only).

I might extend this homepage to Science, Chinese or English subjects when time goes by. This blog shall be active for another 10 more years until he reaches A-level. This is one platform to share my teaching experience with him.

Let's conquer the Singapore's education system together !

Primary 4 Mathematics: Modeling topic (14x questions from year 2018 SA1/SA2 papers)

Singapore MOE is very proud of their mathematics modeling , which I do not understand why. The modeling can be solved by algebra sometimes. I also heard many good primary school students in mathematics meet difficulties in secondary school as they could not understand the algebra logic. That is very dangerous. I think they probably did too many modeling questions in primary school until their brain cannot switch or comprehend the simple algebra. I teach both concepts to my boy. Don’t worry, it will not confuse them. He is going to finish all 32x test papers of Primary 4 (left 3x more papers). I hand-picked 14x nice modeling questions from the year 2018 SA1/SA2 test questions that he had completed. He got about 70% right. These 14x questions are very good questions for Primary 4 students. If you can get them all correct, your standard is, surely and definitely in the range of 95%-100%. You probably wonder why I only show the modeling questions of Primary 4 but...

Primary 5 Report Card

There is a saying, your Primary 5 "End-of-year Examination" result will be your PSLE results. If that's true, his PSLE Score will be AL 9. That's not good. He will not be able to get into his dream school, Anglo Chinese School (Independent) . Hence, he needs to work smart/hard towards his goal. I set a target for him. AL 6 (P) shall be. Nevertheless, I am pleased to know he was selected again for Higher Chinese class in Primary 6. Good job! Please at least get a "PASS" grade! Primary 5 Achievements: Primary 5: CCA Captain , represented school at National School Games Table Tennis Senior Boys Team - League 1 & National School Games Table Tennis Senior Division Boys (Team). Primary 5: Recipient of Char Yong Scholarship 2023 for Top P4 Academic Award 2022. Primary 5: Recipient of Edusave Scholarship 2024 for Top 10% of P5 Cohort 2023. Primary 5: Merit Award at Raffles Institution Primary Mathematics World Contest (RIPMWC)-Junior Category. Primary ...

Completed Primary School Science

On July 9, 2022, I completed teaching him Primary School Science. I used My Pals series below and I strongly NOT recommend these. It is because they are actually the Science textbook used in his school ! 98% of the contents are the same as his Science textbook. My goodness, what a waste of money! I do love the chapters like, cell , human body systems and electrical systems . Pretty good science chapters covered in the primary school. These two My Pals XTRA Tests series are the best of all for primary school science subject. Definitely, a MUST BUY! You do not need to buy any other science assessment books than these two. In fact, these are the only two science assessment books I bought too. Do not rush to complete the questions. Do it slow and make sure you understand the entire concepts presented in the answer keys, especially the open-ended questions. You must know how to answer the questions with the right keywords too. His next 2 years tasks would be completing the 2 assessment b...
