Math for Secondary 1 to Secondary 4 Students
At the secondary level, Math mastery requires a deeper understanding of subject knowledge and problem-solving skills to achieve consistent academic excellence. This sets the foundation for success in junior colleges, where critical thinking, strong learning habits, and exam-ready skills are essential.
The PaceUP programme is thoughtfully designed to bridge the transition from Primary to Secondary Math, laying a strong foundation for success in junior college—where critical thinking, effective learning habits, and exam-readiness are essential for long-term academic achievement.

Guided Thought Process
A clear path through simultaneous equations
Two equations can feel like two problems at once. This is the exact sequence you follow to work through them.
Solve the following pair of simultaneous equations by elimination method.
8x + 3y = 39
17x − 9y = 6
Answer
Label the equations.
8x + 3y = 39 ...(1)
17x − 9y = 6 ...(2)
Multiply the equation(s) with a suitable constant so that the coefficient of one variable is the same.
In this example, we multiply equation (1) by 3 to make the coefficients of y the same, i.e. 9.
Add or subtract the equations from Step 2 to eliminate the variable. Here, we add equation (2) into equation (3).
(1) × 3 : 24x + 9y = 117 ...(3)
Same coefficient as equation (2).
