PSLE Math is not “hard content.” It is a representation + transfer + time-compression test. This overlay makes that explicit and routes repair correctly.

2) PSLE Math Core Primitives (Below Topics)

3) PSLE Math Phases (P0–P3)
[NODE]SGP.SG.BT×EDU.MATH.PSLE×Z3×S×PHASE×P0P3.PSLE×v1.0: P3: - "models correctly; solves non-routine; checks units; stable under time" P2: - "strong in routine types; brittle under unfamiliar phrasing; occasional careless errors" P1: - "drill-dependent; slow; collapses on multi-step; forgets checks" P0: - "cannot start; avoidance; shutdown"

5) PSLE Collapse Clusters (What Parents Call “Careless”)

Cluster B — Wrong Method Choice (number sense + representation)
[NODE]SGP.SG.BT×EDU.MATH.PSLE×Z1×R×TRACE×BTT.PSLE.CLUSTER.METHOD_CHOICE×v1.0: symptoms: - "uses wrong operation" - "guesses formula" root: - "number sense + representation missing" fix: - "meaning-first operation selection + diagram requirement"
Cluster C — Non-routine Variation Break (transfer)
[NODE]SGP.SG.BT×EDU.MATH.PSLE×Z2×R×TRACE×BTT.PSLE.CLUSTER.NONROUTINE×v1.0: symptoms: - "fails new phrasing" - "stuck when steps not obvious" root: - "variation ladder missing" fix: - "principle extraction + controlled variations"
Cluster D — Time Collapse (meta-control + stability)
[NODE]SGP.SG.BT×EDU.MATH.PSLE×Z2×R×TRACE×BTT.PSLE.CLUSTER.TIME_COLLAPSE×v1.0: symptoms: - "slow" - "rushes at end" - "panic blanks" root: - "time control missing; acceleration mismatch" fix: - "time budgeting + staged speed training"
6) Primary 1–6 Progression (Capability Ladder, not Syllabus)
P1–P2: Build Number Reality + Units

7) BukitTimahTutor PSLE Math Repair Protocol (Strict Order)
[NODE]SGP.SG.BT×EDU.MATH.PSLE×Z3×R×PROTOCOL×BTT.PSLE.REPAIR×v1.0: TRUNCATE: - "stop speed-chasing drills" - "remove time pressure temporarily" - "restore confidence via correct modeling" REBUILD_1 NUMBER + UNITS: - "operation meaning" - "estimation" - "unit discipline" REBUILD_2 REPRESENTATION: - "bar models / diagrams" - "known-unknown-relationship template" - "equation after model, not before" REBUILD_3 ERROR LOOP: - "check scripts" - "repeat-error elimination" - "self-correction habit" REBUILD_4 TRANSFER: - "variation ladder" - "principle extraction" - "non-routine training" TIME (ONLY AFTER STABLE): - "time budgeting" - "accuracy under mild time" - "speed last"
8) PSLE Math Sensors (BTT Measures)

9) A*/AL/A1 Meaning in PSLE Context (P3 Definition)
[NODE]SGP.SG.BT×EDU.MATH.PSLE×Z3×V×LOCK×BTT.PSLE.ASTAR_MEANING×v1.0: txt: "PSLE A* / top performance means P3: strong modeling + strong transfer + low repeat-error + stable time control."
10) Canonical Copy/Paste Lock Block (PSLE Math)
[LOCKBLOCK:BTT.PSLE_MATH.v1.0]PSLE Math is representation + transfer + time-compression.BTT repairs: truncate speed-chasing → number+units → modeling → error loop → variation ladder → time → speed last.Target: P3 (non-routine stable under time), not P1 drill illusion.
