Young Problem Solvers’ Series – Heuristics (II)
Mathematics is more than solving an equation such as x2 + 2x + 1; the beauty lies in using Mathematics to solve real-world problems.
This programme teaches students useful heuristics – a set of problem-solving strategies that will help them discover the best and most practical ways to solve problems.
Students will be taught question analysis skills, learn 4 categories of heuristics and apply them to solve real-world problems including higher-order thinking problems.
This programme is available only to students studying outside of Singapore. Class timings are in SG/MY time zone. For students in Singapore, visit The Learning Lab Singapore.
We offer an exclusive money-back guarantee* after the first session.
*If you are not satisfied with the programme after the first lesson, you may withdraw and get the fees for the remaining sessions fully refunded to you.

There will be a Heuristics (II) programme at the end of the year which will cover other heuristics such as Guess & Check, Make a supposition, Draw a diagram, Grouping, Form equations.
With both Heuristics (I) and (II), students will be well-equipped with solving problems using heuristics and tackling higher-order thinking problems.
