Mathematics Curriculum Overview

Primary 1–6, Secondary 1–4 (E-Math), Secondary 3–4 (A-Math)

Mathematics is not a list of topics. It is a progression system.

This page is the master navigation hub for BukitTimahTutor.com’s Mathematics curriculum spines. Each spine explains what changes at that level, why the level exists, and how it prepares students for the next stage.

If you are a parent, you can use this page to quickly identify where your child is in the learning progression, and what “must be stable” before moving forward.

How to Use This Page

Start with your child’s current level. Read the spine first (the “big picture”), then use the linked resources for practice, revision planning, and exam technique.

A simple rule works well:

Spine → Topic Support → Practice → Review mistakes → Retest

Primary Mathematics Spines (Primary 1–6)

Primary Mathematics builds the foundations for PSLE-style problem solving: number sense, models, reasoning, and multi-step accuracy.

  • Primary 1 Mathematics Foundation Spine (link when ready)
  • Primary 2 Mathematics Fluency Spine (link when ready)
  • Primary 3 Mathematics Structure Spine (link when ready)
  • Primary 4 Mathematics Problem-Solving Spine (link when ready)
  • Primary 5 Mathematics PSLE Readiness Spine (link when ready)
  • Primary 6 Mathematics PSLE Mastery Spine (link when ready)

Secondary E-Math Spines (Secondary 1–4)

Secondary 1 is the stabilisation year — it’s where students move from PSLE-style arithmetic confidence into secondary habits: cleaner workings, stronger notation, and the early language of algebra.

If your child is starting secondary school (or struggling with the jump), begin with the Secondary 1 Mathematics Transition Spine: https://bukittimahtutor.com/secondary-1-mathematics/
Once that foundation is stable, the next stage is where mathematics converts into algebraic language in Sec 2: https://bukittimahtutor.com/secondary-2-mathematics/

Secondary Mathematics is where students transition from arithmetic confidence into algebraic language and formal reasoning.

Additional Mathematics Spines (Secondary 3–4)

Additional Mathematics is not “more math.” It is a more formal system with tighter algebra, stronger structure, and higher error sensitivity.

Mathematics Reference & Support Spines

These pages support every level. If your child’s marks are unstable, these usually fix the root cause faster than “more practice.”

  • Mathematics Exam Technique Spine (link when ready)
  • Mathematics Common Mistakes & Misconceptions Spine (link when ready)
  • Mathematics Revision Planning Spine (link when ready)
  • Mathematics Parent Home Support Spine (link when ready)
  • Mathematics Practice Resources Spine (link when ready)

Recommended Reading Path (Fast)

If you want the shortest path to stability:

  1. Read the spine for your child’s current level
  2. Read Common Mistakes & Misconceptions
  3. Use Revision Planning to set a weekly structure
  4. Apply Exam Technique near tests/exams
  5. Only then increase practice volume
