IP Math Tuition | Mathathon

Integrated Programme
(IP) Math

IP Mathematics is a unique and comprehensive 6-year course that integrates both secondary school and pre-tertiary level education. The syllabi of each IP school may differ, and as such, our main purpose is to equip students with the necessary knowledge and skills to excel in the GCE A-Level examination.

At MATHATHON

We acknowledge the unique aspect of the Math curriculum in IP Mathematics, where schools have the freedom to design their own syllabus based on their students' learning preferences and academic profiles. In response, we have customised our IP Math tuition classes to cater to small groups, carefully considering school affiliations and syllabi to create an environment that encourages consultation and personalised teaching. Our IP Math tuition lessons and learning materials are thoughtfully curated to remain up to date with the evolving IP syllabi, ensuring that our students receive relevant and targeted support.

Year 1&2

Our IP Math tuition classes in Years 1 and 2 serve as building blocks for more complex mathematical topics covered in subsequent IP years and pre-university. The concepts and skills learned in these years provide a foundation for topics like calculus, vectors, matrices, and advanced statistics. A strong understanding of the fundamentals gained in IP Mathematics Years 1 and 2 is crucial for success in these advanced topics.

Through customised, differentiated lessons and individualised support, we look to foster a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. With a focus on building mathematical, critical thinking and problem-solving skills, we empower students to develop a strong foundation that will serve them well throughout IP Mathematics and beyond.

YEAR 3&4

As students progress to Year 3 & 4 IP Mathematics, they will be diving deeper into more advanced and complex topics and concepts. They will be tasked to tackle higher-order mathematical questions and may face obstacles that could hinder their academic progression.

We recognise these challenges and each student’s unique learning needs. Therefore, through our IP Math tuition classes and the expertise of our teachers, we are able to identify individual strengths and weaknesses, enabling us to offer tailored attention and support. We tackle students' particular hurdles by adjusting our teaching approaches and pace to align with their capacities, ensuring that every student progresses effectively without being left behind.

Frequently asked questions

01
02
In terms of topics and content, there are not many notable differences. Most IP schools tend to incorporate Elementary & Additional Math into a single subject rather than keeping them as separate subjects. Ultimately, the topics and content taught do not deviate significantly from the O-Level syllabus.
What may be noticeable is the curriculum structure, i.e., different frameworks for how Math is taught. For example, some IP schools may incorporate programming or mathematical software to guide students to higher levels of abstract thinking through coding and exploring real-world applications.
03
Typically, we would recommend students to avoid attending classes intended for a different stream due to differences in curriculum and teaching focus.

Our IP Mathematics classes are designed and catered specially for students in the IP schools who do not need to take the O-Levels but instead study for 6 years leading to their GCE A-Level examination. The IP Mathematics syllabus will follow closely to that of the IP schools where the pace and content will differ slightly to our regular G3 classes as we are looking to prepare our IP students for their GCE A-Level examination.

On the other hand, our G3 classes follow closely to the O-Level syllabus, with an aim to prepare our students for the GCE O-Level exam at the end of their 4 years education.
