How to Help Your Kids Excel in Junior College Math in Singapore

Math Tuition / By

For many students embarking their journey in Junior College, the experience of taking Junior College A Level H2 Mathematics is vastly different as compared to O Level Additional and Elementary Mathematics. The content for Junior College Math is so much more, coupled with the fact that questions are going to be more difficult and learning by memorization is not going to help a lot at this level. Junior College Math requires more analytical thinking and understanding of the concepts. I always tell my students that if they are going to learn math in A level the way they have learnt it in O level, they will be in for a surprise.

Junior College Math Syllabus in Singapore

For students taking H2 Mathematics in Junior College, for the pure math section, they will be learning topics like Functions, Graphs and Transformations, Equations and Inequalities, Sequence and Series, Vectors in three-dimensional space, complex numbers and advance Calculus. For the statistics section, they will be learning advance probability, discrete random variables, normal distribution, sampling, hypothesis testing, correlation and linear regression. Usually students who have taken Additional Mathematics in O Level will be quite use to the pure math section. For the statistics section, it is usually new to most of the students.

 

Check with your child on how he/she is coping with Junior College Math

The challenges that Junior College math presents stem from the subject’s inherent complexity. Do check in with your child regularly and how he/she is coping with Junior College Math. For some students that I have taught, it is understandable for them to struggle and not understand what is being gone through in their school lectures. As such, it is important for them not to let it snowball as this will affect their math results if it continues. If your child is still struggling, you can send your child to math tuition as soon as possible to solidify his/her conceptual understanding.

Common Pitfalls and Hurdles in Junior College Math

Students frequently grapple with Junior College Math because of the lack of understanding of math concepts, careless mistakes, and most importantly lack of practice.

Fostering a Mathematical Haven at Home

As a parent, you hold the key to nurturing your child’s math learning at home. Provide a conducive environment for your child, encourage them when they fail and praise them when they succeed. One important thing that I have learnt while reading a book is that positive encouragement goes a long way in helping students to do well. Encourage your child to practice math as math requires a lot of practice to excel in it.
