Frequently asked questions

What are PSLE Math heuristics?
Heuristics are problem-solving strategies taught in Singapore schools — for example working backwards, guess and check, draw a diagram, and before-after concept. PSLE Paper 2 often tests whether you can pick the right heuristic quickly.
Which heuristics appear most often in PSLE Math?
The most tested heuristics include working backwards, guess and check, units and parts (for ratio/fraction problems), before-after concept, and model drawing. Many Paper 2 word problems combine two heuristics.
How should I practise PSLE heuristics questions?
Work through each question without looking at the solution first. After answering, compare your method with the step-by-step working. Practise identifying which heuristic to use within 15 seconds before starting calculations.
Are these PSLE heuristics questions free?
Yes. All 35+ questions on this page are free with answers and full step-by-step solutions. For unlimited similar questions with AI marking, use Tutorly.sg/app.
