ThinkingMath@onSponge is an enhanced-learning resource (print, electronic and interactive learning) for Primary 3 to 6. Featuring a topical approach to complement schools’ textbooks and workbooks on solving word problems, it is designed by a Panel of Developers comprising experienced heads of department and teachers led by Mr Ammiel Wan. The interactive learning component includes elaboration of the concepts, cross references, alternative solutions (where available) to word problems, and Q&A with the Panel.

ThinkingMath@onSponge bridges the gap between limited classroom learning time and unproductive drilling with assessment books. It addresses the practical needs of teachers and students by incorporating both thinking and procedural learning - core aspects of problem sum solving. This learning with thinking walks pupils through the process: understand the problem context first before looking at alternative representations/relations based on problem statements. Tested and proven on different ability learners in a top school over three years, this ThinkingMath@onSponge approach resulted in improved PSLE distinction rates from 59% to 79.4%.
