A new school term is the best time to develop good study habits and set yourself up for success in SPM. By following a structured study plan, setting achievable goals, and using the right learning resources, you can boost your confidence and performance.
Setting Goals for the New School Term
Before diving into lessons, it’s important to have a clear plan of what you want to achieve. Here’s how you can set smart, achievable goals for Mathematics and Additional Mathematics:
✅ Identify Weak and Strong Areas: Review past exam results or topics you struggled with last year. Prioritize areas where you need improvement.
✅ Set Weekly and Monthly Goals: Break down the syllabus into smaller study targets. For example, aim to master algebra in February and focus on trigonometry in March.
✅ Track Progress: Keep a study log (feel free to download all the attached study planner materials) or use an app e.g. Notion or MyStudyLife to monitor your learning.
Creating a Study Timetable for Mathematics & Additional Mathematics
A structured study schedule helps prevent last-minute cramming and reduces stress before exams. Follow this guideline:
How Parents Can Support Their Child’s Learning
Parents play a key role in helping students succeed in Mathematics. Here are some practical ways to provide support:
Essential Tools for a Productive School Term
Having the right tools makes a huge difference in learning Mathematics effectively:
✅ Scientific Calculator: Ensure you have a good calculator that complies with SPM exam requirements.
✅ Graph Paper & Geometry Set: Useful for drawing graphs, solving coordinate geometry problems, and measuring angles.
✅ Math Apps & Websites: Utilize tools like Wolfram Alpha, GeoGebra, and Nova eTuition’s AI tutor for additional support.
✅ A Dedicated Notebook: Keep a separate notebook for formulas and solved problems for easy revision.
Avoiding Common Pitfalls at the Start of the School Year
Many students make mistakes early in the term that can affect their overall performance. Here’s how to avoid common pitfalls:
❌ Procrastination: Start revising from week one instead of waiting until exams are near.
❌ Skipping Homework: Homework reinforces classroom learning. Skipping it leads to gaps in understanding.
❌ Memorization Without Understanding: Mathematics requires conceptual understanding, not just memorization. If you struggle, seek help early.
❌ Ignoring Additional Mathematics Until It’s Too Late: Additional Math is challenging and builds upon previous topics. If you fall behind, catching up can be difficult.
