Understand how to form Algebraic Equations and solving it
The bulk of Secondary Math problems are based on forming algebraic equations and solving for the unknowns. As students progress to next level, more variables and complex equations will be introduced. Hence, a strong foundation in algebra is important.

How does the secondary 2 streaming affect my child’s future?

Question: How should I prepare my child for the Secondary 2 streaming exercise? / How does secondary 2 streaming work? /What is streaming in secondary schools?
Answer: The Secondary 2 Streaming Exercise occurs at the end of Secondary 2, after the students have received their end-of-year results. It is conducted in all secondary schools in Singapore. This Streaming Exercise determines the subjects that they will sit in for the O-Levels.
In this process, all Secondary 2 students have to choose their subject combinations for Upper Secondary. Students are given a chance to choose the subjects they would like to take for their O-Level and N-Level examinations. However, whether or not they get the subject combination of their choice will depend on their academic results relative to the whole cohort’s performance.
