Parent guides
Plain, honest explanations of the things Singapore parents actually need to understand about PSLE Maths, from how the exam works to how to help at home.
Understand the exam
What's changing in 2026 PSLE Maths
Speed is gone, Average and Ratio have moved to P6, algebra is new, and the paper has been reweighted. What to stop drilling, and what to start.
The PSLE Maths paper, broken down
Two papers, 100 marks, one with a calculator and one without. Exactly what your child faces, and why showing working earns marks.
The PSLE AL scoring system, explained simply
What an AL is, how the bands work, how the score of 4 to 32 is built, and how to set a calm, realistic goal.
The assessment-window guide
Weighted Assessments, the end-of-year exam, prelims, and PSLE. Knowing the rhythm of the year tells you when to practise what.
Help at home
How to help your child with problem sums
A method you can use at the kitchen table even if your own maths is rusty: read, draw, plan, hint, check.
Math heuristics, explained for parents
The problem-solving strategies your child is taught, in plain words, so you can help them pick the right tool.
How to read your child’s marked paper
The score is the least useful thing on the page. Sort the mistakes into careless, conceptual, method, and time, and you have a plan.
PSLE ready, lah.
The exam moved. You're not behind.
These guides explain what changed and how to help at home. StudyLah is where your child practises it, and where you can finally see whether it's working.
