Content reviewed: Jan 2026
Sec 1 G1 Maths tuition at Ancourage Academy in Singapore (Bishan & Woodlands) offers small-group classes of 3-6 students. Under Full SBB, G1 Mathematics emphasises practical numeracy — working with whole numbers, money, measurement, and simple data in real-life contexts. Our ESB methodology uses hands-on activities and familiar scenarios to build number confidence from the ground up.
What Makes Us Different
Our proven teaching methodology combines evidence-based approaches for maximum learning effectiveness
Ebbinghaus Memory Theory
Scheduled review sessions at increasing intervals — today, tomorrow, next week, next month — so concepts are revisited just before they fade, building durable long-term memory through strategic timing rather than cramming.
Socratic Questioning
Purposeful questioning that guides children to discover answers themselves — 'How did you figure that out?' and 'What would happen if we tried it another way?' — developing thinking skills rather than just memorising answers.
Bruner's Scaffolding
Step-by-step support that is gradually removed as confidence grows — tutors first demonstrate, then guide with prompts, then step back as children work independently — ensuring mastery at each stage before moving forward.

- ✓Word problems: Step-by-step strategies for translating everyday scenarios into mathematical operations.
What Sec 1 G1 Maths students commonly work on
- 1
Times tables — building automatic recall for faster calculation
- 2
Word problems — identifying what operation to use from everyday scenarios
- 3
Place value — understanding the position of digits in larger numbers
- 4
Fraction confidence — working with halves, quarters, and simple fractions
- 5
Maths anxiety — rebuilding a positive attitude towards numbers through achievable tasks

Frequently Asked Questions
G1 Maths focuses on practical numeracy — whole numbers, money, measurement, and simple data in everyday contexts. G2 adds algebra, more complex geometry, and abstract problem-solving. Both lead to the SEC examination at their respective levels.
Yes. Schools assess students regularly, and those achieving 75% or above may level up to G2. Our tuition strengthens number sense, word problem skills, and calculation accuracy — the foundations needed for a successful level-up.
Absolutely. Our small classes (3-6 students) allow tutors to identify and address specific gaps. We use practical contexts, visual aids, and step-by-step scaffolding — not rote memorisation — to rebuild confidence and close foundational gaps.
Our small-group classes are intentionally kept between 3 and 6 students so every learner receives close guidance, timely feedback, and ample practice.
Each lesson is 2 hours, providing ample time for thorough coverage of topics and interactive learning.
Yes. All lesson materials and worksheets are provided and included in the fees. Students should bring regular stationery and, where applicable, school textbooks/workbooks for reference.
Yes. Our materials and pacing align with the MOE syllabus. External syllabuses (e.g. IGCSE, IB) are available upon request.
