Learn About The Subject

“O-level Mathematics is a core subject in the GCE O-level examination and serves as the foundation for most higher-level academic pathways. The curriculum is typically divided into two main components: Elementary Mathematics (E-Maths) and Additional Mathematics (A-Maths).

E-Maths provides essential mathematical knowledge and skills for everyday life, while A-Maths is an advanced elective subject that delves into more complex topics such as calculus. It acts as an essential bridge for students who plan to pursue STEM fields (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) at the A-level and university levels.

Common Challenges When Learning O-level Mathematics

Difficulty with the complexity and abstract nature of topics in Additional Mathematics (A-Maths).
Struggles in applying formulas to solve real-world application problems.
Challenges in time management and avoiding careless mistakes during exams.
Difficulty connecting knowledge across different topics to solve comprehensive problems.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About

O-level Mathematics

What is the difference between Elementary Maths (E-Maths) and Additional Maths (A-Maths)?

E-Maths is a core, compulsory subject that covers essential mathematical skills. A-Maths is an elective subject that is significantly more challenging, covering advanced topics such as calculus and trigonometry. It is particularly important for students intending to study H2 Mathematics at the A-level.

Is it mandatory for students to take A-Maths?

No, A-Maths is an elective. However, it is strongly recommended or even required for admission into many pre-university courses in science, engineering, and business (A-level/Polytechnic).

Are calculators allowed in the O-level Maths exam?

Yes, scientific calculators are allowed and essential for certain papers. Students must be proficient in using an approved calculator model.

How does Intertu support students who struggle with basic math foundations?

We start with a diagnostic assessment to identify specific weak areas. Teachers then focus on rebuilding core concepts step by step, using targeted practice questions before progressing to more complex, exam-style problems.

How can students achieve high scores in A-Maths?

Success in A-Maths requires a deep understanding of concepts and consistent practice rather than rote memorization of formulas. Our teachers focus on helping students see the connections between topics and develop systematic problem-solving strategies.

How is tuition for O-level Mathematics at Intertu calculated?

Tuition fees for O-level Mathematics at Intertu Education depend on the total number of study hours and the level of support package chosen (Standard, Premium, Platinum). For a detailed quotation, please contact Intertu’s advisory team directly.
