Young Problem Solvers' Series
Mastering Topical Problem Sums with the Model Method
For children aged 8 to 10 years old
Many students find maths challenging and dull. A fresh approach can alleviate that. Elevate your child’s problem solving skills with the Singapore Model Method, a powerful technique that helps students visualise, understand and solve complex word problems systematically. Your child will learn to approach maths problems in a fun yet effective way in our 5-week programme as they draw models to solve word problems across 5 topics – Length, Volume, Mass, Fractions and Whole Numbers. Build a strong maths learning foundation and develop your child’s problem-solving skills with the right techniques starting with the Model Method.
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.
