About Mathweave
How we teach primary maths
The pencil stops at different places: a fraction of what is left, an angle hidden in a fold, water moving between tanks. We help your child see what to do next.
A note from our founder
The moment I treasure most in the classroom is not a right answer. It is the look on a child’s face when the picture finally makes sense.
A cube is hard to imagine from a flat drawing, until you unfold it into its net and watch the six squares fold back up. A fraction is just two numbers, until you see the bar cut into equal parts. “3 times as many” is confusing, until it becomes three equal blocks beside one.
Children rarely struggle with maths because they are not clever enough. Very often, they simply have not been shown it.
Mathweave is built by our team of educators to bring serious mathematics to primary learning, made clear through visuals. Every lesson draws the idea first, then writes the working beside it, one line at a time, so your child follows the thinking and does not just copy the steps.
I hope it gives your child the confidence to say, “I see it now.”
Who we are
Primary maths: meet the team who explain each step
We are a Singapore team of educators: MOE-trained teachers and mathematicians by degree, with years spent beside children learning maths. We know where a child hesitates, and build the explanation around that step.
- MOE-trained teachersClassroom experience behind each explanation.
- Mathematicians by degreeDegree-level maths, explained one step at a time.
- Years beside childrenWe know the steps children hesitate over.
How we teach
Model method and heuristics for primary maths
Our teaching follows Pólya’s four problem-solving steps, used in the MOE framework. The figure depends on the question: a bar model, a geometric figure, a solid or a pattern.
Understand the question
Read what is given, name the quantities and identify what the question asks us to find.
Plan with a figure
Draw the relationships before calculating. Bars show quantities in a ratio; a geometric figure shows the angles, lengths or areas involved.
Do the working
Write one derived value per line. Explain why it is needed before using it in the next line. Everything already written stays on screen within the question.
Look back
Check the answer against the question and the figure. The child should be able to explain what the answer represents, including its unit.
Our mark
Primary maths roots: the Mathweave mark
Our mark is three bars, two solid and one broken, which is also a comparison bar model. Our line for it is Maths, thread by thread.
It means making maths visible, one line at a time, with each line supporting the next.
