Before enrolling in the Chinese Excellence Programme at in:genius, my child had trouble reading Hanyu Pinyin and was not interested in reading Chinese storybooks. However, since starting the programme, the lessons have been taught using easy-to-understand materials that have helped to spark my child’s interest in the subject. As a result, my child now enjoys Chinese more and has made significant progress in reading and recognizing Chinese words.

Tan Huai Huai

(Parent of Shannon, P1)

My child used to have a poor command of the Chinese language. We were looking for a programme that could help with his revision and provide the help required for Oral and composition writing. in:genius’ Chinese Excellence Programme provided us with a convenient and hassle-free experience of enrolling our child in a tuition class. With the well-designed worksheets, my child could remember the words taught during lessons.

Felicia

(Parent of Jun Rui, P2)

To give my child additional practice in speaking and writing Chinese, we enrolled him in the Chinese Excellence Programme. The teacher is engaging, and the lessons are interactive. Having been part of the programme for a few months, he has become more proactive in speaking Chinese, and his Chinese spelling has improved significantly.

Maisie Heng

(Parent of Lidon, P2)

My wife and I work long hours and seldom have the time to supervise and assist our child in his Chinese lessons. We were looking for a solution and found a convenient yet effective solution in in:genius. The classes are easy to understand, and within months, we have seen a significant improvement in our child. He scored an almost perfect score on his recent Chinese test. We hope he can continue improving his Chinese reading and writing skills with the help of the teachers at in:genius.

5 Ways to Start Your Kid on Financial Literacy

5 Ways to Start Your Kid on Financial Literacy

Financial literacy for kids aged 6-11 years old is crucial for their long-term financial well-being. As parents and educators, teaching primary school students money management concepts lays a solid foundation that prepares them to make informed financial decisions throughout their lives. This guide explores five practical ways to initiate early financial education and empower your child with essential money management skills.

1. Understanding the Basics of Money

Understanding what money is and how it functions is fundamental to early financial education. Money is more than just coins and notes—it’s a tool we use to buy goods and services. For young children, explaining the concept of money in relatable terms is crucial. You can start by illustrating different forms of money, such as coins, banknotes, or even digital payments like cards or apps.

Imagine taking your child to the grocery store. Point out how you use money to pay for groceries. Discuss with them the idea that money represents value—it’s what allows us to buy things we need, like food, and things we want, like toys.

How to Say it:

Parent: “We’re going shopping today. Do you know how we are going to pay for our food? We’re going to use money.

Child: “What is money?”

Parent: “See these coins and notes here? These are what we are going to use to pay for our food.”

Parent: “Can you tell me how much money I have?”

Child: “You have one $10 note and two 50 cent coins!”

Parent: “You’re right! The total cost of our food is $6. We’re going to pay using the $10 note now. Seller is going to give us some change. Let’s count the change together, okay.”

Child: “The seller gave us two $2 notes for change! Two dollars plus two dollars equals four dollars.”

Parent: “Very good! Let’s keep our change in our purse, and walk home to eat our food.”

Understanding the basics of money sets the stage for more advanced financial concepts. It teaches children the value of money and introduces them to the concept of financial transactions.

2. Distinguishing Between Needs and Wants

Learning to differentiate between needs and wants is a critical aspect of money management for children. Needs are essential for survival and well-being, such as food, clothing, and shelter. Wants, on the other hand, are things that make life more enjoyable but are not necessary for survival, like toys, games, and treats.

During a family discussion or classroom activity, create a list of items and categorise them as needs or wants. For instance, ask children if having a new video game is a need or a want. This exercise helps them understand that needs must be met before wants and encourages them to prioritise their spending.

How to Say it:

Child: “Can we buy that new toy car I saw today?”

Parent: “Let’s think about it. Is the toy car a need or a want?”

Child: “It’s a want because it’s just for fun.”

Parent: “Good job! Remember, we need to take care of our needs first. How about we save up some money from your allowance to buy the toy later?”

Child: “Okay, I can do that!”

Parent: “That’s a great plan. Learning to save for wants is a smart way to manage money.”

Teaching children to distinguish between needs and wants promotes responsible decision-making and helps them develop a balanced approach to spending money.

3. Creating a Simple Budget

Introducing budgeting to children is an effective way to instil money management for children. A budget is a plan for how you will spend and save your money. Simplify the concept by starting with their pocket money or allowance. Discuss with them how much they receive and help them allocate portions for saving, spending, and perhaps giving to others.

Sit down with your child at the beginning of the month or week to plan their budget. If they receive $10 a week as pocket money, discuss how much they might want to save for a toy they’ve been wanting and how much they can spend on treats or other items throughout the week. Use a diagram or chart to show your child for easier visualisation.

How to Say it:

Parent: “Let’s make a plan for your pocket money. How much do you get each week?”

Child: “I get $10!”

Parent: “Great! How about we save $4 for your new book, spend $3 on treats, and put $3 in your piggy bank?”

Child: “Okay! I want to save for that book I saw at the store.”

Creating a simple budget encourages children to think ahead, set financial goals, and learn the value of planning and saving for future needs and wants.

4. Setting Up a Savings Account

Setting up a savings account for your child is a practical step towards early financial education.  Many banks offer special savings accounts designed for children. Take your child to the bank to open an account and explain how it works. Encourage them to deposit a portion of their allowance or monetary gifts they receive into the account regularly.

Discuss with your child what they might want to save for—a new bicycle, a favourite toy, or even a family outing. Show them how putting money into their savings account regularly can help them reach their goal faster. Check the account periodically together to see how their savings grow.

How to Say it:

Parent: “Guess what? We can open a special account just for you to keep the money that you save! It’s called a savings account.”

Child: “Wow, like a bank account?”

Parent: “Exactly! We can put some of your birthday money in there, and it will grow over time. What would you like to save for?”

Child: “I want to save for a LEGO set!”

Setting up a savings account teaches children the importance of saving money for future goals, introduces them to banking concepts, and helps them develop good financial habits from an early age.

5. Learning Through Play and Practical Activities

Making learning about money management for children engaging through play and practical activities makes the learning process enjoyable and effective. There are various games, apps, and simulations designed to teach children about money in a fun and interactive way.

Play “store” at home where children take turns being the shopkeeper and customer. Use play money or real coins to simulate buying and selling items. Assign prices to items and encourage them to calculate change. 

How to Say it:

Parent: “Let’s play a game. You be the shopkeeper, and I’ll be the customer. How much does this toy car cost?”

Child: “It’s $2!”

Parent: “Okay, here’s $5. How much change should I get back?”

Child: “You should get $3 back!”

Parent: “Well done! You’re great at this!”

This activity not only reinforces basic math skills but also introduces concepts of budgeting and spending wisely which are important in early financial education. These tools provide hands-on experience and practical knowledge that children can apply in real-life situations.

Conclusion

Teaching early financial education through practical and engaging methods is essential for their future financial well-being. Introducing them to basic money concepts, teaching them to distinguish between needs and wants, creating simple budgets, setting up savings accounts, and learning through play are all valuable ways to initiate money management for children. 

Empower your child with essential money management skills by exploring more resources and activities on financial literacy for kids. Let in:genius helps you guide your child towards financial success. Investing in early financial education today ensures a brighter financial future for your child tomorrow.

Mastering PSLE Mathematics: Guide to Maths Heuristics for PSLE

Mastering PSLE Mathematics: Guide to Maths Heuristics for PSLE

The Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) in Singapore is a significant milestone for every primary school student, with mathematics being one of the core subjects assessed. Mastering PSLE mathematics requires not only understanding concepts but also being good at problem-solving strategies.

One essential aspect of PSLE maths is the application of heuristics, which are problem-solving techniques that help students approach and solve complex mathematical problems more effectively. In this guide, we’ll delve into various maths heuristics tested in the PSLE exam, providing diagrams, worked examples, and practical tips for parents to support their children’s learning at home.

Understanding Maths Heuristics

Maths heuristics are systematic problem-solving strategies that enable students to tackle mathematical problems methodically. These heuristics guide students in breaking down complex problems into manageable steps, identifying relevant information, and applying appropriate mathematical concepts to find solutions. By mastering maths heuristics, students can approach a wide range of mathematical problems with confidence and accuracy.

1. Model Drawing

Model drawing is a powerful heuristic that involves representing mathematical problems visually using diagrams or models. This strategy helps students visualise the problem, identify key information, and formulate a plan to solve it systematically. Model drawing is particularly useful for solving word problems involving fractions, ratios, and comparison.

Example: Karen and Lily had $575 altogether. Karen spent 3/5 of his money and Lily spent $150. Karen then had three times as much money as Lily.  How much did Lily have at first?

Solution:

2. Guess and Check

Guess and check involves making educated guesses and testing them systematically to determine if they are correct. This encourages students to use trial and error to approach problems, refining their guesses based on feedback until they find the correct solution. Guess and check is particularly useful for problems involving logical reasoning and estimation.

Example: Find a two-digit number where the sum of its digits is 9, and the number is greater than 50.

Solution:

3. Work Backwards

Work backwards involves starting with the desired outcome and working backwards to determine the steps needed to achieve it. This encourages students to think logically and consider the relationship between different elements of a problem. Working backwards is particularly useful for problems involving sequences, patterns, and algebraic equations.

Example 1:

Jack has 20 more marbles than Sam. Together, they have 80 marbles. How many marbles does Jack have?

Example 2:

Sarah had some pencils. She gave Jason 15 pencils and then bought 1 more pencil. She then gave Sam 12 pencils and bought another 2 pencils. If she had 6 pencils left in the end, how many pencils did Sarah have at first? 

Solution: 

Explanation: 

From start to end, 

  • Sarah gave Jason 15 pencils = -15 
  • Sarah gave Sam 12 pencils = -12 
  • Sarah bought 3 pencils = +1 and +2 

Working backwards,

  • we begin with the number of pencils Sarah ended with which is 6. 
  • Since she bought 2 pencils, we subtract 2 from 6 to get 4. 
  • Then, we add 10 to 4 because she gave 10 pencils to Sam to get 14. 
  • Again, subtract 1 from 14 to get 13.          
  • Lastly, we add 22 to 13 to obtain 35 pencils that Sarah had originally. 

4. Look for a Pattern

Looking for a pattern involves identifying recurring sequences or relationships within a problem to find a solution. This encourages students to analyse data, observe trends, and make connections between different elements of a problem. Looking for a pattern is particularly useful for problems involving sequences, geometric shapes, and number patterns.

Example: What is the next number in the sequence: 2, 6, 12, 20, …?

Solution:

5. Systematic Listing

Systematic listing involves organising information systematically to analyse all possible outcomes and find a solution. This encourages students to use tables, charts, or lists to organise data and identify patterns or relationships. Systematic listing is particularly useful for problems involving permutations, combinations, and probability.

Example 1:

How many different three-letter combinations can be formed using the letters A, B, C, and D?

Solution: 

List the combinations systematically starting with ‘A’ followed by ‘B’, ‘C’ and then ‘D’. 

There are 24 combinations.

Example 2: 

Andy, Bill and Colin are competing in a running race. List all the possible finishing positions for the 3 runners. 

Solution: 

Represent each person with an alphabet: 

  • Andy =  A
  • Bill     =  B
  • Colin = C

Practical Tips for Parents to Guide Their Kids at Home

Practice Regularly: Encourage your child to practice maths heuristics regularly through worksheets, online resources, or maths games. Repetition helps reinforce problem-solving strategies and builds confidence in tackling different types of problems.

Provide Feedback: Offer constructive feedback and praise your child’s efforts in applying math heuristics. Focus on the process rather than just the outcome, highlighting their problem-solving approach and critical thinking skills.

Encourage Persistence: Emphasise the importance of perseverance and resilience when facing challenging maths problems. Encourage your child to approach problems systematically, try different strategies, and learn from mistakes.

Make it Fun: Incorporate maths heuristics into everyday activities and games to make learning enjoyable. Explore real-life scenarios, puzzles, and brainteasers that require problem-solving skills and critical thinking.

Mastering PSLE mathematics requires more than just memorising formulas and procedures—it involves developing effective problem-solving strategies and critical thinking skills. By understanding and applying maths heuristics such as model drawing, guess and check, work backwards, look for a pattern, and systematic listing, students can approach PSLE maths questions with confidence and accuracy.

By providing guidance, encouragement, and opportunities for practice, in:genius by Nascans can help your child develop the skills and confidence needed to excel in PSLE mathematics and beyond.

How do Student Cares achieve a balance between academics and recreation? 

How do Student Cares achieve a balance between academics and recreation?

As parents, we all strive for our children to excel academically while enjoying a well-rounded childhood filled with play and social interactions. Achieving this balance requires careful planning and access to resources that support both educational growth and personal development. 

Here’s a quick guide on the key considerations to create a healthy after-school routine that combines academics and recreation, ensuring your child thrives in all aspects of their life.

1. Time Management and Structured Activities

Managing time effectively is key to maintaining a balanced after-school routine in student care. Start by setting a schedule that includes dedicated time for homework, enrichment activities, and relaxation. 

This structure helps children understand the importance of prioritising tasks while leaving ample room for play and socialising.

Consider creating a visual timetable or planner together with your child, highlighting different activities throughout the week. This not only teaches time management skills but also gives children a sense of ownership and responsibility over their daily routines.

2. Incorporate Physical Activities

Physical exercise is essential for a child’s overall health and well-being. Encourage activities that get them moving, such as outdoor sports, swimming, or even simple exercises at home. Physical activity not only strengthens muscles and bones but also improves concentration and mood, making it easier for children to focus during study sessions.

To make physical exercise more enjoyable, consider enrolling your child in structured classes like dance, martial arts, or team sports. These activities not only provide exercise but also teach teamwork and discipline, essential skills for both academic and personal success.

3. Importance of Creative and Social Outlets

Creativity and social interaction are equally important in a child’s development. Encourage creative activities such as drawing, painting, writing stories, or playing a musical instrument. These activities stimulate imagination and self-expression, helping children develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Social interactions are equally vital. Arrange playdates with friends, encourage participation in group activities or clubs, and foster open communication at home. Building strong social skills early on prepares children for future relationships and collaborative work environments.

Now that we’ve explored the fundamentals of a balanced after-school routine, let’s delve into how in:genius Student Care Centre effectively implements these strategies to promote healthy development and academic success.

A. Spaces to Relax, Learn and Connect

– Comprehensive Curriculum: Developed by former MOE teachers, Heads of Departments (HODs), and enrichment specialists, covering subjects such as English, Chinese, Mathematics, and Science.

– Expert Guidance: Provided to help students excel in specific subjects, addressing individual learning needs and preparing them for academic challenges.

These programmes offer a convenient alternative to traditional tuition, allowing families to maximise quality time together while ensuring children receive the academic support they need to thrive during their stay at the student care centre.

Conclusion

Creating a balanced after-school routine is essential for a child’s overall development. By prioritising structured activities, physical exercise, creativity, healthy nutritious meals and social interactions, parents can help their children excel academically while fostering personal growth and well-being.

Choosing a student care centre like in:genius in Singapore further enhances this balanced approach.

Strategies and Resources to Prepare your Child for PSLE 

Strategies and Resources to Prepare your Child for PSLE

The Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE) is a significant milestone in the educational journey of Singaporean students. As a parent, it’s natural to feel concerned about your child’s performance in this crucial exam. 

PSLE is an end-of-year national examination administered by the Ministry of Education (MOE), and is the culmination of all that has been learnt in the six years of primary school. It is distinct, however, from the usual end-of-year examinations a student’s primary school will give. In particular, the school will administer its own final year examination, and these are known as the preliminary examinations or prelims, as a lead-up to the PSLE itself.

PSLE Format

Before diving into preparation strategies, it’s essential to understand the PSLE format. The exam consists of four subjects: English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue. 

Exam components for 

  • English and Mother Tongue: oral, listening comprehension, and written formats.
  • Mathematics and Science: oral and written formats.

They are designed to evaluate students’ mastery of the subject matter, as well as their critical thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Scoring System

The PSLE in Singapore now employs the AL Scoring System. Under this system, each PSLE subject is assessed using eight distinct bands, termed “Achievement Levels (ALs)”. Students receive an AL score ranging from 1 to 8 for each subject (1 being the highest), with each AL corresponding to a specific range of marks. 

‍Visit the MOE website to learn more about the PSLE Score Calculator. 

Preparation Strategies

To ensure your child is well-prepared and confident, it is essential to adopt effective preparation strategies that cater to their individual needs and learning pace. Below are four ways that can help guide your child towards success in the PSLE.

  1. Identify your child’s weak areas and concepts understanding in each subject with current test papers.
  • Students who score below 50 typically struggle with understanding key concepts. 
  • Those who score between 51 and 75 generally comprehend the concepts well but struggle with open-ended questions. 
  • Students who score between 76 and 89 often struggle to provide specific answers. For example, different types of question keywords like “state,” “describe,” or “explain” require distinct approaches to answering the question effectively.

To address these challenges, focus on thoroughly understanding the concepts in the topics where students have shown weaknesses. Your child should engage in extensive practice with multiple-choice questions (MCQs) until they can consistently score over 40 marks in Booklet A, which consists of 28 MCQs and a total of 56 marks.

Additionally, for students who struggle to identify clues in questions and often select incorrect data, a helpful strategy is to highlight keywords within the questions to narrow down the necessary information for accurate answers.

  1. Have a revision plan for different subjects with breaks in between. Parents can assist by providing a framework for revision:
  • Set goals and priorities: Encourage your child to decide what they want to revise and set specific goals on the topics they want to cover.
  • Organise materials: Gather study materials and categorise them by topic or difficulty level.
  • Plan for breaks and family time: Ensure time for exercise, family bonding, and rest to maintain a healthy balance between studying and relaxing.

To maximise revision time, consider covering two topics or subjects in a day instead of dedicating an entire day to a single subject or topic. It is more effective for your child to vary their subjects of study throughout the day and keep their study sessions short

  1. Tackling different subjects: English, Chinese, Maths, Science. 

The holidays or weekends are a great time for students to clear up any confusion they have. They can use the extra time to organise their notes by topic and use memory aids to help them remember information. 

Another good habit to start is keeping a journal for each subject. This journal should include common mistakes, tricky questions, or challenging topics for quick reference. For instance, students can re-attempt mistakes noted in their journals. 

Here are more tips on how students can revise for each subject: 

  • English: Read storybooks, newspapers, or articles to improve vocabulary and comprehension skills. Students can pick a theme from these materials and list words or phrases related to it.

To improve composition writing, they can compile a list of common themes – for example: Memorable Holiday, Act of Kindness, Helping a Friend in Need, Surprise Event, Favorite Hobby – and practice writing short essays or brainstorming ideas for them.

For grammar or synthesis and transformation, they should review past exams and worksheets to extract commonly tested rules. Creating their own notes helps students better grasp the content as it actively reviews what they have learnt.

  • Chinese Language: Go through the textbook glossary, mark unfamiliar words, and spend time improving vocabulary. Students who struggle with word recognition should read passages from the textbook daily for context understanding.

Parents can create opportunities for their children to practise speaking Chinese at home with relatives or friends who are fluent in the language. Watching television programmes together can also provide more exposure to the language, helping children understand and learn it better.

  • Maths: Help your children focus on understanding the key concepts and principles behind problems, rather than just completing many past exam papers. With a solid grasp of concepts, learning becomes meaningful, and practice reinforces understanding.

If a child is stuck on a concept or question, address it immediately rather than postponing it, as they might forget about the question. Use the textbook or worksheets to fill any gaps in understanding. Focus on specific concepts that need more practice.

For complex Maths problems, try this approach:

  1. Understand the problem (underline key information or break it into smaller parts)
  2. Select a strategy (like the model method, working backwards, or finding patterns)
  3. Solve the problem
  4. Check the answer using another method
  • Science: Start with topical revision for one to three hours a week, then move on to past years’ papers to gain exposure to a range of questions. Spend more time revising topics that teachers spend less time on and less time on quickly covered topics.

PSLE Science syllabus is based on themes. To understand the relationships between themes, students can make mind maps or write summaries. Active consolidation of concepts helps them become more familiar with the content. If mind maps don’t work for a topic, students can create flashcards and have parents or siblings help test them.

  1. Regular timed-practice sessions for final revision using past exam papers is another effective strategy to excel in the PSLE. 

Through this approach, students can become more familiar with the exam format and improve their time management skills. It allows them to understand the types of questions that are typically asked and learn how to allocate their time effectively during the exam.

Sgtestpaper is a good resource for this preparation, offering downloadable exam papers from top schools and interactive tests specifically designed for PSLE students. Practice using these resources can make a significant difference in their performance.

Recommended Resources

  1. The Ministry of Education (MOE) provides various study materials for the Primary School Leaving Examination (PSLE). These materials are approved for use in schools and are designed to support students in their PSLE preparation. 

The MOE-approved textbook list includes materials for subjects such as English Language, Mother Tongue Languages (MTL), Mathematics, Science, Art, Music, Physical Education, Social Studies, and Character and Citizenship Education. These materials are regularly updated and are available for download from the MOE website.

  1. Student Care/ Tuition Centre like in:genius by NASCANS offers PSLE preparation courses, which are designed to cater to students’ individual needs. in:genius equips students with proficiency in English, Chinese, Mathematics and Science, allowing them to ace their exams.
  2. There are several mobile apps that offer PSLE preparation resources, including practice questions, interactive lessons, and adaptive learning features. Some examples are:
  • StudySmart PSLE Online App (Available for English Language, Maths, Science)
  • PSLE 2023 Smart App (Available for English Language, Maths, Science, Chinese and Higher Chinese)

Conclusion

Preparing for the PSLE requires a combination of effective strategies and the right resources. By understanding the exam format, identifying your child’s strengths and weaknesses, and seeking professional help when needed, you can help your child stay on track and achieve their best results. 

Additionally, utilising recommended resources such as study materials, online learning platforms, tuition centres, and mobile apps can provide your child with the support they need to succeed.

Dedicated teachers at in:genius by NASCANS are here to support you and your child navigate the PSLE journey successfully and set the students up for future academic success.
