Primary 4 Math Syllabus: Complete Overview for Parents (2025)

Overview:

Primary 4 math is a pivotal year in your child’s academic journey, with significant shifts in the syllabus. Students must have a solid foundation in fractions and decimals and apply concepts to solve complex multi-step problems.

The latest MOE syllabus focuses on progressive learning by introducing complex concepts earlier. Some of these topics include pie charts, symmetry, area and perimeter, and nets to help students learn about spatial and graphical visualisation.

Jimmy Maths helps students excel in P4 math through personalised online tuition, aiming to deepen mathematical understanding and build confidence for PSLE.

Common Struggles Faced by P4 Students

1. Improper Fractions with Different Denominators

Adding or subtracting improper fractions often confuses students, especially when they must find the least common multiple or visualize equivalent parts.

2. Decimals

Students often mix up place values or fail to align digits correctly in calculations, especially when transitioning from tens to tenths.

3. Long Word Problems

Multi-step problems that mix concepts (e.g., whole numbers and fractions) can overwhelm students. Many do not know how to break problems down into manageable parts or identify which concepts are being tested.

4. Graph and Data Interpretation

Although line graphs and pie charts are visual, students may misread scales, axes, or legends. Many students also have trouble interpreting the graphs to solve the given problems.

5. Nets and Geometry

Visualizing how 2D nets fold into 3D shapes is a higher-order skill. Students who are not spatially inclined may struggle to identify which nets form a cube or to imagine hidden parts of a figure.
