Through guided learning and hands-on activities, we strive to provide a learning experience that inculcates a positive attitude towards Secondary Mathematics in our students and develop their ability to apply concepts by providing opportunities for them to connect these concepts to the real world.
See course progression
As students transition from Primary to Secondary, they will have to learn new topics, pick up new methods to solve problems, and familiarise themselves with problem-solving in a real-world context.
Our Sec 1 and 2 Mathematics Programme will help students to build proficiency in foundational topics within the three key areas of Number and Algebra, Geometry and Measurement, and Statistics and Probability. Detailed concept notes, with formulas and worked examples, are provided for students to understand the fundamentals of each topic. Students will reinforce their understanding and mastery of mathematical concepts through weekly practice questions, which are tiered by difficulty level.
To better appreciate the practical applications of mathematics concepts, students will also be introduced to real-world scenario problems, where they will collaborate in group discussions to find the right solutions.
At Upper Secondary, students will deepen their proficiency in the subject and gear themselves up for the O Levels Mathematics examinations. Topics from Lower Secondary will be expanded upon and covered in greater depth, and new and more advanced topics such as Indices, Circular Measure, and Vectors will also be introduced.
Our Sec 3 and 4 Mathematics Programme will help students consolidate their learning, and achieve a sound mastery of all the key mathematics concepts acquired over the four years of their secondary school education. We will guide students to hone their examination techniques, and ensure they are well-drilled to effectively tackle common question types in the exams. Students will get access to examination-useful revision notes and trending O-Level questions. They will also practise mock examination papers under timed conditions. Our error analysis highlights common mistakes, and enables students to steer clear of these errors in the exams.
Additional Mathematics presents a steep learning curve for students, as it involves more in-depth application of algebraic rules, requires more intermediate workings, and demands a rigorous understanding of core concepts.
Mind Stretcher’s Additional Mathematics programme uses a spiral approach to ensure that each topic is covered at appropriate levels in increasing depth. Students will be taught step-by-step methods to tackle questions, and learn how to present their answers clearly and concisely to maximize their marks. Students will also experience differentiated learning through ample level-tiered questions in our worksheets. Instead of memorising the steps, students will learn to understand the logic and rationale, and acquire easy-to-understand steps to solve any Additional Maths problems.
Timely practices will be given so that students can master the skill of time-management. In order to let students effectively recognise the relationships between the topics learnt, they will be exposed to questions involving two or more topics.
Mind Stretcher Classes cater and stretch the potential of all students, regardless of whether they are high achievers, achievers or those students who are building their foundation.
Mind Stretcher’s proprietary Student Progress Tracking system ("Checkpoint") identifies knowledge gaps, benchmarks students within our cohort and personalises action plans for improvement.
Beyond our weekly classes, Mind Stretcher runs targeted Edu-Workshops, Edu-Webinars & Bootcamps in a wide array of domains (academic & non-academic) to further guide and inspire our students in their education journey.
Mind Stretcher Online enables students to enjoy top-quality, live interactive classes from home. Furthermore, Mind Stretcher’s e-Study Buddy platform gives students access to studio-quality recording of classes recorded by our Master Teachers!
We believe that everyone should have access to quality education, regardless of background. Even as we deliver some of the most comprehensive and effective educational programmes in the market, we remain affordable as we try our best to help as many students as possible.
Since our genesis in 2002, we have been the Education Partner of choice for many students & their parents. More than 150,000 students (and counting) have walked through our doors. Our excellent track record over the years says it all.
