Mastering G2 Mathematics Secondary 1

Mastering G2 Mathematics (Secondary 1) is written to help students to master the latest Singapore MOE Secondary 1 syllabus effectively and efficiently. The book aims to help students build a strong foundation in Mathematics so that they are well equipped to tackle more challenging content when they are promoted to Upper Secondary. The book is a balanced mix of foundational problems for those looking to get a head start into Secondary school Mathematics, as well as challenging problems for those looking to further augment their proficiency in the subject.

In recent years, as an effort to integrate students of various backgrounds, all MOE schools will implement full SBB (Subject-Based Banding) and mixed form classes. One common challenge SBB students face is the increasing need to catch up with their peers, especially for content their peers have already learnt. This book is written with this in mind and specifically caters to G2 SBB students.

The special features of this book, which enhance the learning process, include:

• Summary Checklists 
  Allow students to be aware of the detailed learning objectives of each topic and to check if they have genuinely understood the key content of the chapter. These checklists also help students organise their learning for more efficient review.
• Alternative Methods 
  There are many ways to solve a given problem. For some examples, multiple methods are given to help develop intellectual flexibility in students, allowing them to have a wide arsenal of strategies for problem solving. Students are encouraged to not just be content in solving a problem, but to also experiment using other methods to arrive at the same conclusion.
• Common Errors and Misconceptions 
  Highlight common mistakes made by students in solving certain question types, to help readers avoid these misconceptions and be particularly mindful of ensuring they truly understand the question requirements. More importantly, this helps to strengthen their core concepts and understanding.
• Concise Notes 
  Help students to review the content efficiently. Visual aids, flowcharts and diagrams were added for some topics to help students revise with greater clarity and grasp the logical flow of each mathematical statement.

All in all, this book will serve as a fantastic companion to help students navigate through Secondary 1 Mathematics.
