‘O’-Level Elementary Math
For students to master each topic in ‘O’-Level Elementary Math, I would recommend the following series of books:
1. ‘O’ Level Elementary Mathematics Companion
Publisher: Casco Publications Pte Ltd; Author: Lee-Ann Goh
It comes in two volumes. Book 1 provides notes, examples and practice questions for Arithmetic, Algebra, Coordinate Geometry and Graphs. Book 2 provides notes, examples and practice questions for Geometry, Trigonometry, Sets, Matrices, Vectors and Statistics. Each book comes with fully worked-out solutions to all the practice questions.
How to use these books?
Use the two books to learn or revise the theories of each topic and analyse the examples to understand and remember how different types of problems are solved.
Then attempt to answer as many questions as you can in the Revision Exercises provided and after that, mark your own solutions by comparing them with the worked solutions. If your answers are incorrect, seek to understand where, how and why you got them wrong.
If you often find yourself not understanding some parts of the worked solutions, then, yes, you’d probably need to consult a tutor. But you can first try asking your school teachers or friends first.
If you have mastered most of the topics in ‘O’-Level and you need practice papers, then I would recommend that you complete the papers in the following book:
2. G.C.E. ‘O’ Level Mathematics Paper 1 and Paper 2
Publisher: Casco Publications Pte Ltd; Author: Lee-Ann Goh
It has 10 ‘Trial Exam’ papers, with fully worked-out solutions for each paper. You should attempt each paper in the time allocated (2hrs for Paper 1 and 2.5hrs for Paper 2). Then mark your own solutions and reflect on your errors and learn from them.
3. Pass With Distinction, Elementary Mathematics (By Topic) with Solutions
Publisher: Shinglee Publishers Pte Ltd; Author: Teh Keng Seng, Loh Cheng Yee
‘O’-Level Additional Mathematics
For students to master each topic in A. Math, I would recommend the following series of books:
- Pass With Distinction, Additional Mathematics (By Topic) with Solutions
Publisher: Shinglee Publishers Pte Ltd; Author: L. K. Lee
- O–Level Additional Mathematics Revision Guide 3 and 4
Publisher: Pearson Longman; Author: Aven Choo
How to use these books?

Improvement in a student’s math result …
Daniel, one of A. Math tutees, showed me his class test result yesterday: 34/40. The test was on Indices and Surds, Wow, excellent, I said to him. Daniel is from the N(A) stream, and usually fails his Math tests. That he could obtain 34/40 and top his class in just a few weeks of tuition was phenomenal. So I started reflecting on what went right, because there are many students, even those from top schools, who do not make such a giant leap in such a short amount of time.
So what was the major factor contributing to Daniel’s significant improvement? Well, it’s not some secret special technique. In fact, it’s a well-known technique that some students just don’t want to use – ask many, many questions, even “silly” ones, about the same topic until one is satisfied that understanding has been achieved. Daniel even questions me when he doesn’t understand the steps I show him, whereas many students simply copy or write down my solution. Daniel sometimes takes a while to process the information I give to him; he will pause and ponder, and then sheepishly asks a basic question. He will even ask questions periodically to affirm that his steps are correct.
Students need to make meaning out of what they hear or see; it’s not enough to just listen to teachers or observe what they do in class. And you make meaning when you have a dissonance in your mind; some pieces of the jigsaw puzzle don’t fit and you have the courage to ask and then ponder again.
Regarding asking questions, I have one advice though: you must attempt to answer your own questions first, for the struggle to answer your own questions will make it easier for you to understand another person’s explanation. : )
Good luck!
Rgds,
Ilyasa
