Our tutors focus on developing thinking skills essential for AEIS Math success. Students are guided to analyse problems, identify relationships, and choose appropriate strategies before attempting calculations. Our structured approach helps students remain calm and methodical during the exam.

Breaking Down Complex Word Problems

Students are guided to divide long, complex questions into smaller, manageable parts. This helps them understand the structure of the problem before attempting any calculations.

Identifying Key Information and Hidden Relationships

Tutors train students to recognise important details, patterns, and relationships that are not immediately obvious. This skill is essential for solving multi-step AEIS Math questions accurately.

Avoiding Common Reasoning Errors

Students learn how to spot typical mistakes, such as incorrect assumptions or skipped steps. Targeted feedback helps refine their reasoning and improve consistency under exam conditions.

Building Confidence Through Guided Practice

Step-by-step guidance allows students to practise reasoning skills in a supportive environment. Regular reinforcement builds confidence and reduces hesitation during the exam.

AEIS Math Assessment Structure Explained by Specialist Educators

The AEIS Math paper consists of two main components, each testing different abilities. Understanding this structure is critical for effective preparation and time management during the exam. Our specialist educators explain how each section is assessed and how students should approach them strategically to maximise marks.

IQ Math & Reasoning Preparation Built on Singapore’s Proven Math Techniques

The first part of AEIS Math focuses on IQ-based and non-routine questions. These questions assess how students think rather than what they have memorised. What This Section Tests

Students often find this section challenging due to limited exposure to such questions in the schools they are currently studying in. Our teachers provide step-by-step guidance and targeted practice to build these reasoning skills progressively.

Singapore Math Problem-Solving Techniques Used in Exams

The second part of the AEIS Math paper focuses on Singapore-style problem-solving, which forms the core of the assessment. What Is Assessed

Students are trained to approach each question systematically, ensuring they maximise marks even for challenging problems.

Bar Model Strategies Taught by Singapore-Trained Math Teachers

Bar models are a key feature of Singapore Math and are frequently used in AEIS problem-solving questions. Why Bar Models Are Important

At AEIS.com.sg, students are taught when and how to use bar models effectively, rather than applying them mechanically.

Heuristic Problem-Solving Frameworks Used in AEIS Classrooms

AEIS Math includes unfamiliar questions that require flexible thinking. To handle these effectively, students learn proven heuristic strategies commonly taught in Singapore schools. These include:

Looking for patterns
Making systematic lists
Working backwards
Guess and check (used logically)
Before-and-after comparison
Simplifying complex situations
Remainder Concept
Proportion Concept
Simultaneous Concept
Pattern Concept
Gap and Difference Concept
Equal Concept
Repeated Identity Concept
External Transfer (Unchanged Quantity) Concept
Internal Transfer (Unchanged Total) Concept
External Transfer (Same Difference) Concept
External Transfer (Changed Quantity) Concept

These strategies empower students to tackle unfamiliar questions with confidence instead of panic.

Why the Clear Method and Step-by-Step Working Matter in AEIS Math

In AEIS Math, marks are awarded not only for the correct answer, but also for the method used. Incomplete or unclear work can result in unnecessary loss of marks. Our teachers train students to:
