Primary 1-3 MathArchery

Set Your Child’s Primary Maths Foundation Early

Help Them Build Confidence and a Strong Foundation in Mathematics with MathArchery’s Progressive Approach

Give Your Child the Skills to Succeed in Primary School and Beyond

In Singapore’s education system, establishing a strong mathematical foundation during the early primary years is crucial. The Ministry of Education (MOE) emphasises that a solid grasp of fundamental concepts in Primary 1 to 3 sets the stage for tackling more complex topics and higher-order problem-solving in upper primary levels (moe.gov.sg.

MathArchery is dedicated to addressing the unique challenges faced by Primary 1 to 3 students, empowering them to develop essential maths skills that will set them up for success, not just in school, but for a lifetime.

Why Do Lower Primary Students Struggle with Maths?

Parents often observe their child’s initial challenges in math and wonder why it seems so tough. Through years of experience, we’ve identified the most common obstacles that Primary 1 to 3 students encounter in their early maths education:

Weak Conceptual Understanding

In crowded classrooms, young students often miss out on fully grasping foundational math concepts. With a teacher managing a large class, individual attention is limited, and when key concepts are missed, they can impact a child’s maths ability for years. The MOE’s Primary Mathematics Syllabus highlights the importance of building a strong foundation in these early years to support future learning moe.gov.sg.

Ineffective Practice Techniques

It’s common for students to repeat mistakes without realising them. Some young learners may feel overconfident after a few correct answers and skip essential practice, leading to slow or inaccurate problem-solving. MathArchery incorporates intentional practice to help students become both quick and accurate in their responses.

Personal Learning Challenges

Every child learns differently, and some may have unique challenges such as attention issues or mild learning difficulties that make traditional classroom settings less effective. At MathArchery, our small class sizes and customised coaching make learning enjoyable and productive for every child.

MathArchery’s Two Tracks: Tailored Support for Every Student’s Needs

MathArchery offers two targeted tracks to help your child reach their fullest potential in maths. Here’s how each one supports your child’s growth:

1. Performance Track

This track is ideal for students who may be doing well but need extra guidance to reach their full potential. The Performance Track builds on what they already know while reinforcing areas that need improvement.

  • Personalised Coaching: Each child’s strengths and areas for improvement are assessed, allowing our tutors to offer individualised guidance that helps them build confidence.
  • Foundational Reinforcement: We revisit and strengthen core maths concepts to ensure your child has the stability needed for tackling more complex topics in upper primary.
  • Building Speed and Accuracy: Through our carefully structured practice sessions, students develop the ability to solve problems accurately and quickly, preparing them for more advanced levels without feeling overwhelmed.
  • Small Group Dynamics: Our classes are capped at a maximum of 5 students, creating a supportive, focused environment where students can thrive.
  • Flexible Learning Options: Whether online, in-person, or hybrid, our classes are tailored to meet your family’s schedule and preferences.

2. Performance Track (Special Needs)

For students who may face learning difficulties, this track provides the additional support and structure they need to excel in math.

  • Diagnostic Assessment: We conduct an in-person assessment to pinpoint specific challenges, whether they involve memory, computation, or focus issues.
  • Progressive Learning for Confidence: The curriculum is designed to help students build confidence through small, achievable successes, which lay the groundwork for overcoming more complex challenges.
  • Small Class Size for Focused Support: With a maximum of 5 students per class, we create an intimate setting that allows students who need extra attention to learn comfortably.
  • In-Person or Hybrid Learning Only: For students requiring special support, we believe in the value of hands-on learning, provided in settings that allow for the highest level of engagement.

Why MathArchery is the Right Choice for Your Child’s Early Maths Education

  1. Foundation-Centred Learning Studies indicate that foundational math skills are closely linked to success in other subjects, especially as students progress to complex math concepts in later years. MathArchery’s approach is all about identifying and filling those crucial gaps early on, ensuring every student has the groundwork to succeed.
  2. On-Demand After-Lesson Support MathArchery students benefit from continuous support even after classes. Through dedicated channels, our tutors provide guidance on schoolwork, reinforcing concepts and encouraging “small wins” that build students’ confidence. Research has shown that ongoing support can improve academic confidence and reduce exam anxiety.
  3. Personalised, Small Group Coaching Unlike traditional tuition classes, MathArchery’s small groups ensure that each child is noticed and supported individually. Studies suggest that smaller group sizes in early education lead to improved student outcomes, including greater academic resilience and better exam performance.
  4. Expert Tutors with a Proven Track Record MathArchery’s tutors are highly experienced and passionate about math education. With years of expertise, they know how to unlock each child’s potential through patience, skill, and customised teaching techniques.

Preparing Your Child for Future Success

The MathArchery programme is designed with one goal in mind: to equip your child with the skills they need to tackle Singapore’s rigorous PSLE maths syllabus and beyond. By focusing on early primary school foundations, we help students confidently handle higher-order word problems and complex concepts in upper primary and secondary school. Research supports that students with strong foundations in math are more likely to succeed in later academic pursuits, including subjects that require logical thinking and problem-solving skills.
