HEADSTART PROGRAM (1)
ALGEBRA WORKSHOP
FOR SECONDARY 1 MATH (G3 / IP)
Algebra is like grammar in a language. Knowing the words is not enough — without grammar, sentences fall apart. In mathematics, algebraic manipulation ensures solutions are accurate, which is why these skills must be built early.
From Secondary 1, students learn to rearrange equations, simplify expressions, and apply methods correctly.
Strong algebra skills support learning in upper secondary topics like Trigonometry, Statistics, Calculus, and are also essential in Physics and Chemistry. Building these foundations early helps students reduce errors, gain confidence, and progress smoothly as academic demands increases.
By the end of this programme, students will have a clear understanding of core algebraic concepts, stronger manipulation skills, and the confidence to approach Secondary 1 mathematics with clarity and control.

NUMBERS & MATH SKILLS
FOR SECONDARY 1 MATH (G3 / IP)
This headstart workshop teaches the first term topics, gives students a good grounding for a confident start.
Concepts are built from the ground up, strengthening number sense and early algebra skills. Through structured practice and application questions, students learn to apply methods accurately, reduce careless errors, and approach Secondary 1 Mathematics with greater confidence and readiness.
By the end of this course, students will be able to:
- Apply core Number Concepts
- Use appropriate methods accurately for HCF, LCM, and number patterns
- Apply concepts correctly in structured and application-based questions
- Begin Secondary 1 Mathematics with confidence and readiness
