Secondary 3 Math Subject
in Singapore

In secondary 3, students in Singapore typically embark on one or both Mathematics tracks: Elementary Mathematics (E-Maths) and Additional Mathematics (A-Maths).

E-Maths reinforces and builds upon the core concepts taught in lower secondary, including algebra, geometry, and statistics, with a focus on real-life applications. This track ensures that students develop a well-rounded understanding of mathematical principles essential for daily life and further academic progression.

On the other hand, A-Maths aims to prepare students for advanced mathematical topics. It dives deeper into complex algebraic techniques, functions, trigonometry, and more abstract areas of mathematics, laying the groundwork for subjects in JC, polytechnic, or university courses that require a strong mathematical foundation.

At TLS Tutorials, we understand the challenges Secondary 3 students face as they transition into a more demanding, topic-heavy syllabus. Our Secondary 3 Math tuition programme provides structured, personalised support tailored to each student’s learning pace and proficiency level—whether they are building a foundation in algebraic expressions or advancing into trigonometric equations.

With small classes capped at four students, our experienced tutors offer individualised attention, break down complex concepts into clear, step-by-step explanations, and provide guided practice with regular feedback. This approach helps students clarify doubts instantly, strengthen understanding, and build confidence to excel in school tests, weighted assessments, and national examinations. Enrol your child today to give them the head start they need for academic success.

 

With TLS Tutorials’ secondary 3 Math tuition, students gain a supportive and engaging learning environment that empowers them to confidently overcome challenges in Mathematics and strengthen their problem-solving skills.

What Students Will Learn from Our Sec 3 Math Tuition

Our Math tuition for secondary 3 aims to help students develop key skills and techniques.

Conceptual Understanding

Students will build a solid grasp of mathematical principles, moving beyond rote memorisation to understand how formulas and methods are derived. This includes mastering algebraic manipulation, exploring functions, and understanding the relationships between equations, graphs, and geometric figures.

Problem Solving

With increasingly challenging questions in the curriculum, students learn how to approach multi-step problems systematically. They will be trained to interpret questions carefully, identify relevant strategies, and apply the appropriate mathematical techniques to arrive at logical solutions.

Critical Thinking Skills

Mathematics at the secondary 3 level encourages students to think critically and reason mathematically. Through exposure to abstract and unfamiliar problems, they learn how to analyse situations, make connections between topics, and evaluate different methods of solving a problem effectively.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    E-Maths focuses on fundamental mathematical concepts such as algebra, geometry, statistics, and real-world applications. It builds essential numeracy and problem-solving skills. 

    On the other hand, A-Maths (Additional Maths) is more advanced and abstract, covering topics that are essential for students planning to pursue science or engineering-related courses. 

    Tuition for each subject is tailored accordingly, E-Maths to strengthen core understanding, and A-Maths to support deeper analytical and technical thinking.
