When Secondary 1 Math suddenly “breaks”

If your child has failed a WA/test, it can feel scary — especially when they seem to understand during homework, but collapse in the exam.

This is common in Sec 1 because the load changes: more algebra, more variation, more method choice, more speed.

Your child is not “hopeless”. Most of the time, they’re trapped in false competence: they can follow when guided, but they cannot execute alone under pressure.

Signs your child is in the collapse zone

can do homework only with help
freezes at the start of questions
many sign / fraction / step errors
messy working, missing steps
panic and low confidence after tests

What Bukit Timah Tutor does (the recovery sequence)

1) Diagnose the failure (first lesson)

We identify the real root cause:

number leaks (fractions/negatives/ratio)
algebra control leaks (simplify/expand/like terms)
method selection failure (word problems)
working structure failure (marks leaking even when “knows”)
checking failure (no self-correction)

2) Emergency repair (Weeks 1–2)

We stop the biggest leaks first — so your child can pass reliably before chasing speed.

3) Independence rebuild (Weeks 3–4)

We train:

starting without prompts
clean working lines
handling small variations
a simple checking routine

What parents usually notice in 4 weeks

fewer “random” mistakes (they weren’t random)
calmer start to questions
cleaner working → fewer marks lost
improved pass stability (then improvement accelerates)

What to bring (to personalise fast)

Any one of these is enough:

last WA/test paper
1–2 worksheets with corrections
photos of common mistakes (best)
