Common questions from parents

Why is model-drawing so important?

The bar model is the MOE-endorsed bridge from a paragraph of English to a piece of maths. Most children who 'know their maths' but score badly are not weak at arithmetic — they cannot translate the question into a diagram. A child who can draw the bar correctly has usually already solved the problem, which is why Next Level Enrichment teaches it as a core skill, not an afterthought.

How does Next Level Enrichment make maths stick?

Step by step, with the working visible. In a 1:6 class at Blk 709 Ang Mo Kio Ave 8 the teacher sees each child's method, not just the answer — a wrong answer with sound reasoning and a right answer by luck look identical on a marked script, and only one of them tells you what to teach next. Short videos and games reinforce each concept between lessons.
