2. It is globally well-known fact that Singapore Math is challenging
because the syllabus is constructed as such, for various reasons
but the prime reason is the importance of mathematics in
today’s world. In this 21st century, countries strongly believe
that specializing their young generation in the area of STEM
(science, technology, engineering and mathematics) is essential
for an economy to be globally competitive.

3. So, let’s take a look at 4 effective approaches that good
tutors will take in order to teach this ‘intimidating’ subject!

4. #1: STRENGTHENING THE BASE
Singapore’s education system follows a “mastery method”
in mathematics, and this means that the system emphasizes
the importance of a thorough understanding of the core
concepts which act as the foundations. Beginner concepts
like times tables, addition, and subtraction should be
introduced gradually, and they are exposed to numerous
types of questions that test these concepts.

5. #2: TACKLING FAILURES
Teachers have to know how to lift their students from a
setback or failure. Motivation is essential and teachers
should teach students why those failures are important for
success. Analyzing an assignment or test paper with
students, going through each and every question in person
is an excellent way to understand students’ misconceptions,
mistakes, strengths and weaknesses, and thinking process.

6. #3: PATIENCE
It is not exactly a technique, but an important
characteristic that is needed for sure. Knowing
mathematics is not an easy subject, it should also be
understood that mastering it takes time. The moment
tutors reassure and emphasize this fact, as well as
practice this virtue, students will automatically pick this
characteristic up and it will help them to great extent. This
understanding is what will keep them going and motivate
them till the last lap.

7. #4: CONFIDENCE
Solving mathematical problems require question analysis,
hypothesizing, trial and error, deriving a systematic solution,
and knowing how to present solutions in a neat and clear
manner. Confidence is of paramount importance in order to
carry out these steps successfully to solve questions, and
should a student lack it, that will be the biggest barrier to
excelling in this subject. Hence tutors should teach their
students to keep asking questions, keep learning, and never
fear failure.
