Quality Math Programmes for Primary & Secondary School

Math for Secondary 1 to Secondary 4 Students

At the secondary level, Math mastery requires a deeper understanding of subject knowledge and problem-solving skills to achieve consistent academic excellence. This sets the foundation for success in junior colleges, where critical thinking, strong learning habits, and exam-ready skills are essential.

The PaceUP programme is thoughtfully designed to bridge the transition from Primary to Secondary Math, laying a strong foundation for success in junior college—where critical thinking, effective learning habits, and exam-readiness are essential for long-term academic achievement.

Guided Thought Process

A clear path through simultaneous equations

Two equations can feel like two problems at once. This is the exact sequence you follow to work through them.

LEARNit! (2)

Solve the following pair of simultaneous equations by elimination method.

8x + 3y = 39

17x − 9y = 6

Tip Look at the coefficients to determine which one is easier to eliminate.

Answer

Step 1

Label the equations.

8x + 3y = 39 ...(1)

17x − 9y = 6 ...(2)

Step 2

Multiply the equation(s) with a suitable constant so that the coefficient of one variable is the same.

In this example, we multiply equation (1) by 3 to make the coefficients of y the same, i.e. 9.

Step 3

Add or subtract the equations from Step 2 to eliminate the variable. Here, we add equation (2) into equation (3).

(1) × 3 : 24x + 9y = 117 ...(3)

Same coefficient as equation (2).

Step-by-step Guide

We guide the thinking, one step at a time

Every PaceUP technique comes with the reasoning behind it, not just the steps. Here is how your teen is guided through completing the square, a core method for solving quadratic equations at secondary level.

Solve x² + 9x + 18 = 0

Answer

x² + 9x + 18 = 0

x² + 9x = −18

x² + 9x + ( 92)² = −18 + ( 92)²

(x + 92)² = −18 + 814

(x + 92)² = 94

x + 92 = ± √ 94 = ± 32

x = −3, −6

Step by step guide

Rearrange the equation such that it is in the form ax² + bx + c = 0.

Ensure a = 1. Otherwise, divide throughout. (Refer to LEARNit! [3])

Rewrite the coefficient of x into multiple of 2.

Add (b/2)² − (b/2)² after the x-term. Notice that the first 3 terms follow the identity (a+b)² = a² + 2ab + b².

Simplify and bring the constant term to the right.

Apply square root on both sides and solve for x.

Note: should the constant term on the right-hand side be negative at Step 5, the equation has no root.

Read His Full Story More stories & tips →

We are so happy with Oodles Learning! Before joining Oodles, my daughter struggled with math and didn’t do well on her math exams in primary school. My friend recommended Oodles to me, so I enrolled her in math tuition in November 2024 to prepare her for secondary school. We’ve seen significant improvement in her math skills; she has also shown increased interest and effort in learning the subject. Coach Xin is caring, kind, and patient, and works on my daughter’s weaknesses with encouragement. Thank you so much for inspiring Woon Woon and helping her develop an interest in math.

Teacher Yu Li is a good teacher, as I can understand her explanations for various types of questions. She is also very patient. Thank you, Oodles!

After joining Oodles, my child's understanding of math concepts improved significantly. He is now able to help his friends with their math questions and is more eager to participate in his math classes at school. Since then, he has grown in confidence and was eventually able to achieve AL1. I’m very happy to see him reach this milestone after joining Oodles.

I have been with Oodles Learning since Primary One. I enjoy taking lessons here because they are fun, enjoyable, and interactive. Oodles has greatly helped me with mathematics. My favourite coach is Coach Augustine. I would recommend Oodles Learning to anyone who wants to learn mathematics.

Oodles has been a game-changer for my daughter's math journey! Since joining in Primary 4, her confidence and problem-solving skills have soared. The teachers are incredibly proactive and sometimes start class early to go through questions and ensure students fully grasp the concepts. They also check in regularly, providing guidance and encouragement. The engaging lessons make learning fun! Her math results are excellent, and she genuinely enjoys the subject. Thank you, Oodles, for making math enriching and enjoyable.

My child has been with Oodles since June 2023. She has had a wonderful experience so far. Her coach has been very helpful in clarifying her doubts, and she truly enjoys her classes. It has been a remarkable journey at Oodles Learning. Thank you, Oodles!
