Overview of O-Level Additional Maths
The aims of O-Level Additional Maths are for students to:
Understand and apply mathematical concepts and skills in different contexts
Organise and analyse data and information through the suitable techniques and solutions
Solve higher-order thinking problems by inferring, writing mathematical explanations, backing up arguments using proof.
Most A Math topics help students develop metacognitive skills, communication, and reasoning. Hence, when it comes to Additional Maths, it’s essential to support learning from other subjects, such as Physics or E Maths. This is a critical subject for those intending to pursue a math-related higher study.
O-level A Maths topics and syllabus are more in-depth, exposing students to topics such as trigonometric, exponential, linear, and quadratic functions.
Importance of O Level Additional Mathematics Tuition
As an elective, Additional Mathematics has a hefty syllabus, as it is aimed at students with higher aptitude and interest in pursuing Mathematics in the future. The O Level A-Math syllabus is a gateway for future pursuits in tertiary and higher education STEM-related courses.
It is crucial to grasp a complete understanding of the A-Math content as it is the foundation on which your future studies are set. Hence, attending an O Level Additional Maths tuition is vital for students serious about their future in Singapore.
In terms of conceptual understanding, A Math will require a more in-depth understanding of algebraic rules. Moreover, their simultaneous equations also involve non-linear functions so that they may include squares or cubes. Hence, their solutions would be longer and need thorough planning to avoid careless mistakes. At Glenn Lee Learning Centre, our tutors have the knowledge and expertise to help guide you in this regard. Our specialised O Level A Math tuition teaches students to understand the formulas and why we use them instead of regurgitating solutions. Throughout our Additional Mathematics tuition, our tutors will equip students with the tools they require for their O Level A Math exams in Singapore.
