Maximize your child’s chances for the

GEP

Should they or should they not?

MOE identifies intellectually gifted students via the GEP tests in Primary 3. Selected students will enter the GEP programme in Primary 4, where the

potential of each intellectually gifted student is recognised, nurtured and developed.

While it is a fact that not every child will enter, or is suitable for, the GEP programme, the learning of high-ability kids can be enhanced through an

enriched curriculum.

This June Holidays, our GEP workshop aims to promote in your child a love of the English language as they acquire a range of critical language skills

which will benefit them in their education journey. They will also gain a crash course on the basic Math Olympiad-type concepts required, as well as

other general ability skills.

We hope that by the end of the course, our students would be also be armed with a range of skill sets required in the upper primary syllabus and

beyond, giving them a competitive edge over their peers!

English (3 days)

Longer comprehension Texts and Questions

More extensive upper primary vocabulary

Higher-order cloze reading passages

Knowledge of Word Classes

English R* Puzzles and Pattern Manipulation Exercises

Discussion of Current Affair topics

Learning about Point of Views

Math (1 day)

Fundamental MO Concepts

General Ability (1 day)

Word Analogies

3D Spatial and visualization problems

Logic problems

The 5 day programme will expose your child to a wide range of higher-order thinking skills

The founder of Avocado Lab, Garry has extensive experience in helping children

stretch their potential in Math Olympiads. A dad of 2 GEP Kids, he has a strong

track record of producing winners, with >90% of all P3 students passing the GEP

screening test and >50% being selected eventually.

He delivers his lessons in a uniquely whimsical style, whilst dissecting the core

concepts and strategies with surgical precision. This level of profound

understanding is the key to genuine appreciation of mathematics, and gives his

students the power to approach any problem with myriad solutions, in the blink of

an eye. Garry does not prescribe monotonous drilling and spoon feeding, as these

kill the curiosity and the creativity your children innately possess.

Teacher Faith graduated with a Bachelor Degree in Arts and a Diploma in

Education and also holds a professional cert from the London Guildhall School

of Drama.

She has been teaching Primary and Secondary school students for more than

two decades and uses her own PAC approach in her fun-filled classes which

focus on 3 major elements: Participation, Active Learning and Critical Thinking.

She also pursued her studies in the Orton-Gillingham Approach, a multisensory,

direct and structured approach to help dyslexic learners.

She hopes her students will persevere and be inspired by Thomas Edison. "Our

greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always

to try just one more time."


Achieve Inner Peace for

PSLE MATHS

Ms Ng graduated with a Masters in

Applied Mathematics from Harvard

University. In spite of being vastly over

qualified, she chose to follow her

passion for teaching. Her genius can be

best appreciated in how efficiently she

distils complicated topics into simple

conceptual building blocks that are

rapidly understood and assimilated by

students. She has been teaching for

almost a decade. Past students have not

only improved significantly within a few

months, most have even declared that

Math has become their favourite subject!

Is your child struggling with math word problems?

Does your child know some basic methods but fail to apply them

correctly to the question?

Is your child confused by which method to use in the first place?

Is your child missing out on AL1 because of two difficult questions

in the math paper?

The Issue: After attempting the past year PSLE questions, most

parents will agree that material in the textbook is insufficient to

prepare your child for PSLE word problems.

While textbooks are perfect for introducing the basics of whole

numbers, fractions, ratio and percentage, they do not teach how to

identify and classify types of PSLE word problems, and match with

the correct answering technique.

Unfortunately, these key techniques are inconsistently covered in

the schools, due to many factors such as lack of time to pursue

depth and breadth of topics.

Every year, there are complains that there

are some overly-difficult PSLE questions.

The reality is that they are at most non-

routine or Math Olympiad-type questions of

average difficulty.

Come join this class and learn to tackle all

these questions efficiently!

PSLE MATHS


The Solution:

This PSLE Problem Solving Bootcamp covers essential techniques required to solve Paper 2 word

problems. Ms Ng has specially curated an ultimate toolbox of strategies and techniques to tackle

even the most tricky questions in a systematic manner, and capture every single precious method

mark. A short mnemonic allows students to summon their techniques menu quickly and effortlessly

during the exam. Additionally, students learn how to spot keywords and unique characteristics of

questions, so that they can confidently classify the problem and apply the appropriate technique

almost reflexively.

An exquisite selection of villainous questions from past year top schools’ preliminary papers are then

presented for students to consolidate their learning, and flex their mighty toolkit muscles.

Going beyond exam prep, Ms Ng teaches from first principles. Understanding how each technique

works allows students to adapt the technique as required, and apply it to infinite variations of the

same type of word problem.

BONUS content: Detailed coverage of common sources of confusion: Area, Circles, Patterns and

Speed.

Prerequisite: The desire to perfect your word problem solving kung-fu, and willingness to look at

problems from different points of view.


PSLE & Lower BlockScience

Quest for Answers in PSLE Science

A two-day workshop for students to find out for themselves the

answers to past year PSLE questions through experiments and

develop their own questions.

Students will be taught answering techniques and compare their

answers with their peers.

At the end of the workshop, they should be able to focus on the

requirements of each question and refine their own answer.Mr Beh brings his unique insights into the

intricacies of primary school science,

generously sharing his invaluable experience

as a HOD in Science, and also as a

Supervisor of Marking in PSLE.

His stellar career includes setting up an

education centre, and being an Editor with

Young Scientist Magazine. Mr Beh’s success

lies in his sincerity in helping his students

develop true understanding of scientific

concepts, and appreciating the application of

knowledge when tackling exam question.

Additionally, he believes students learn

through asking good questions. He ignites

their curiosity and brings their scientific

questions to life with hands-on experiments

Ultimately, he challenges his students to true

mastery, by formulating their own questions,

and even improving questions encountered

in books and examination papers..

Quest for Fun Learning in Physical Science

A 5-day workshop for P3/P4 students to learn concepts in topics such as

Matter, Light and Shadows, Heat and Magnets. Students will learn

concepts through hands on experiments and formulate their own questions

for their peers.

Don’t miss this rare

opportunity to learn PSLE

Science techniques from a

popular and experienced

teacher.


Ms Yeo graduated from NUS with a

Bachelor of Social Sciences in

Psychology (Honours) and was a

Teaching Award holder. She considers

herself a late bloomer in Math and

thus, has a special place in her heart

for struggling Math learners. You’ll

often find her nose buried in a book

and her love for the language has

enabled her to build up a repertoire of

mnemonics and catch phrases, even

using poetry (!) to help students

commit Mathematical concepts to

memory. She loves physical activity

and spends lots of time in nature as

she believes in the value of exercise

and fresh air for a clear mind to teach

and learn together with the students

under her charge.

Let’s make a run for

P4/5 MATHS

The P4 and P5 workshops will cover both

width and depth of the topics taught in first

semester.

Students will get to practice solving a variety

of basic and advanced math problems to

reinforce and put into practice their

conceptual understandings with both speed

and accuracy. This would include the

exposure to exam style questions in

preparation of the final year examinations.

The workshops will conclude with the

conduct of an exam style simulation of a mini

weighted assessment to foster familiarity with

exam format and the different methods of

solutions for problem solving.

These sessions are useful for

P4/5 students (separate

sessions) who need that extra

help to ace their upcoming year

end exams.


How to Be Mathematically Civilised

This short talk aims at unveiling some good habits of successful mathematics students — how to enjoy the

power and beauty of mathematics while scoring well for the examination. It hopes to guide parents and

teachers to better prepare their children cope with the world of numbers by taking advantage of currently

available resources, and maximising on their use in developing in the children a liking for the subject.

1. What it means to be Mathematically Civilised?

2. What is the most conducive environment for learning Formal and Informal Mathematics?

3. Use of Unconventional Mathematics to develop intuition and creativity — how learning Non-traditional and

Short-Cut Mathematics help children further enjoy the subject.

4. Mathematical Literature and Manipulatives — the Must-Read Classic books for both parents and children,

and the what-and-how Games and Puzzles foster the child’s understanding of mathematical concepts.

5. Mathematical Competitions — steps to preparing the child to be a mathlete.

This 1.5-hour session should benefit both parents and interested individuals who are prepared to spend time

and effort in nurturing and motivating the young to appreciate the beauty of mathematics besides establishing

in the children a good foundation for the subject.

Some of these will be discussed:

The must-read award-winning books

Types of puzzles & games to arouse one’s mathematical interests

Paradoxes & fallacies

Geometrical & topological recreations

Manipulative recreations

Types of extra-mathematical activities to take part

Helping Your P1/P2 Child in Higher-Order Mathematics

The ranking of schools, and the buzzwords and slogans of mathematics education (creative and

critical thinking, problem solving, ICT, “Teach Less, Learn More”, Learning Experiences, and Big

Ideas) have put pressure on schools to outrank other schools and to attract better cohorts of pupils.

One subtle way to do this is to raise the standard of questions that appear in their school papers.

These higher-order thinking questions are posed such that even above-average pupils often find

difficulty in solving them, and also serve to filter the nerd from the herd — to select the A-band pupils

from each cohort every year.

You can help your child to understand the mathematical concepts of the topics in the syllabus, and to

prepare him or her to solve those trick and tricky questions confidently.

Don’t miss this opportunity to gain knowledge and know-how to help your child excel in mathematics!

At the end of the session you should be able to:

• understand the objectives and underlying concepts of Primary 1 & 2 Mathematics

• provide the support to nurturing your child’s mathematical development so that he or she can be in a

better class

• identify the mathematical strengths and weaknesses of your child, and select the appropriate

resources which would benefit him or her.

Topics to be covered are:

▪ Whole Numbers

▪ Number Bonds

▪ Shapes and Patterns

▪ Picture Graphs

▪ Length

▪ Mass

▪ Time

▪ Money

We have a concurrent Math Olympiad Beginner class on 10

and 11 June from 2pm-5pm (same timing as parents’ talk)

logical, creative and effective manner.

He is the person other coaches ask

when they cannot solve a Math

Olympiad problem!

Math Circle uses mathematics as a powerful tool for encouraging

logical reasoning, developing creativity, and enhancing students’

ability to analyze and solve complex problems. The benefits of

studying in a math circle are much broader than the expansion of

mathematical knowledge.

Participation in a circle helps students discover and develop their

talents and inspires in them a lifelong love for mathematics and

related sciences. A key role of mathematical circles is in providing

a place where mathematically motivated students can meet

similar-minded peers. Participation in a circle helps students

become members of a community and make friends who share

their interest in learning.

The subjects covered in mathematical circles normally go beyond

the school curriculum, and are exciting and fun. The problems and

discussion topics are selected to stimulate students’ creative

abilities and develop their problem-exploration skills and

mathematical reasoning.

Nim is a two-player game of strategy with very simple rules. The gameboard consists of three heaps of stones. The players take turnsremoving stones from the heaps: at each turn, a player takes anynumber of stones from a single heap. (A player has to take at least onestone per turn.) The player who takes the last stone(s) wins the game.While the rules are simple, the game itself is very entertaining.

Does Nim have a winning strategy? If yes, for which player?

A magic square is a square grid filled with numbers, where the numbers ineach column, each row, and each diagonal all add up to the same number.This number is called the magic constant of the square.

Can a 3 × 3 magic square be constructed from the first 9 prime numbers?Either present such a square or explain why such a square is impossible.

Sample Discussions

The Intermediate Math Circle is suitable for

P3/P4 children with a strong interest in

recreational maths and advanced math topics.

The Advanced Math Circle is highly

recommended for students who wants to build

up their skills at writing proofs, an important

skillset for advanced competitions.
