What are heuristics?
A heuristic is a process or method. In Maths, a heuristic is a method that is used to solve a Maths problem. Students need to use heuristics or problem-solving methods to manage problem sums and word problems.

Exploring Different Methods to a Maths Problem Sum

Exploring Different Methods to a Maths Problem Sum
It is important to us that our students know how to pick and choose the most efficient method or heuristic to solve any question they encounter.
That’s why, in our classrooms, we don’t believe in rote learning. Teachers demonstrate different methods for solving each problem, not just the model method.
This helps students to think more deeply about their analysis of the question and each step of their working, which is part of reflective learning.

Mathematics: From Exploratory to Mastery
Engage the right support at every level to develop your child's mathematical thinking.

Early Years
Nursery 2 – Kindergarten 2
Through hands-on learning experiences such as games and craftwork, your child will better understand abstract mathematical concepts and even learn to appreciate their use in everyday life. By stimulating their curiosity on this subject, they may develop a positive attitude towards acquiring the knowledge of numeracy concepts and maths vocabulary, honing their problem-solving skills.

Primary
Primary 1 – 6
With an arsenal of problem-solving heuristics, your child will become agile in approaching maths challenges from multiple perspectives and deriving the most effective solution. They will practise real-life maths applications through various class activities that simulate problems in the real-world context to refine their problem-solving capabilities.

Secondary &
Junior College
Secondary 1 – Junior College 2
Our lessons closely follow the school syllabus to ensure your child has ample practice and reinforcement of complex maths concepts. With the increasing complexity of maths concepts, our maths curriculum will focus on strengthening your child's conceptual understanding and analytical skills to make inferences, draw logical conclusions and evaluate solutions in real-world contexts.
