Primary 6 Math Syllabus: Complete Overview for Parents (2026)
Is your child entering Primary 6 this year? If so, you know what that means – it’s PSLE year.
P6 is unlike any other year in primary school. It’s the year where everything students have learned from Primary 3 to Primary 5 comes together – and then some. The PSLE maths syllabus isn’t just about learning new topics like Ratio, Algebra, and Circles. It’s about applying multiple concepts at once to solve increasingly complex word problems.
Many parents tell us their child could handle P5 Math comfortably, but suddenly feels overwhelmed in P6. Why? Because PSLE questions are designed to test deep understanding and problem-solving skills, not just memorization or pattern spotting. From data analysis and pie charts to 3D shapes and surface area, the range of topics covered in the PSLE math syllabus requires a strong foundation in core concepts.
The good news? With the right guidance and consistent practice, your child can master the Primary 6 maths syllabus and enter the exam hall with confidence. At Jimmy Maths, our PSLE maths tuition programmes focus on building a deeper understanding of mathematical concepts and equipping students with proven problem-solving strategies – like our unique K-C-A method (Keywords-Concepts-Applications) – to help your child tackle even the toughest PSLE questions.
In this guide, we’ll break down exactly what’s covered in the P6 Math syllabus, highlight common challenges students face, and share practical tips to help your child stay on track.
