Parents preparing their children for the Primary School Leaving Examinations (PSLE) often feel anxious, especially when major format changes are announced. With the 2026 PSLE Mathematics format introducing adjustments to topics, assessment structure, and marking, it is natural to worry about how these changes will affect exam readiness, confidence, and outcomes. Many parents ask: Will my child cope? Are the changes harder? How should we prepare differently? The good news is t

Building strong levels of self-belief in children is not a one-off task; it’s a step-by-step journey of daily habits, thoughtful reinforcement, and meaningful practice. As parents, we want our child to feel good about themselves, to feel more confident, and to navigate social situations and academic challenges with firm resilience. When kids struggle—whether it’s with money word problems, counting change, confusion over coin and note values, or simply stepping into unfamiliar

If your P1 child mixes up coin values, counts change incorrectly, or freezes at money word problems, you’re not alone. Parents often see  the errors but don’t know how to fix them at home—leading to slow progress, avoidable money mistakes, and rising frustration for both parent and child. The good news? With a few targeted routines, teaching money can be straightforward, confidence-building, and even fun. Below, we’ll break down the three biggest errors in P1 money, show you

When students lose marks on elastic spring force because they mix up the spring constant and extension or compression, misread axes, or fumble units, it’s not just an academic mistake—it’s a life-skills gap. Understanding how two variables interact, reading graphs carefully, checking units, and staying calm under exam pressure are examples of practical life skills that transfer far beyond the classroom. This article explains what life skills are, why they are important, and h

Many students get tripped up because elastic spring force depends on just two things: how stiff the spring is (spring constant) and how much it is stretched or compressed (change in length). These work together in Hooke’s Law, causing misreads of graphs, wrong units, and lost marks. Whenever a spring “fights back” as you pull or push it, that’s the elastic spring force; in P6 Science it appears in clip-on masses, shock absorbers, and pop-up toys—and in exam diagrams that can
