How DeepThink supports Anderson Primary School students
Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Anderson Primary School
Small group classes so your child can ask questions, get feedback, and is never lost in the crowd
From P5 onwards, every class is structured around PSLE technique — not just content, but how to show working clearly and pick up method marks
Parents are kept in the loop on what was covered and where their child needs more practice — so you're never in the dark between sessions
The programme
What your child gets at DeepThink
Each weekly session builds directly on the last. Your child works through new concepts, revisits gaps, and practises exam-style questions — in a group small enough that the teacher actually knows them.

Frequently asked questions
Clear answers for parents
Does DeepThink follow the same syllabus my child is on at Anderson Primary School?
Yes. All Singapore primary schools follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus, and our P1–P6 classes are built around that curriculum — the same topics, the same model-drawing and heuristics approach, and the same exam format your child sits at Anderson Primary School.
How will I know if my child is making progress?
Parents are kept informed on what was covered and where their child should focus. We also flag any persistent gaps as soon as we spot them — not just before exams.
When should my child start tuition?
There's no single right answer, but earlier is generally better. Gaps in foundational topics like fractions and ratios compound as children move through primary school. A free trial class is a good way to find out where your child actually stands.
What makes DeepThink different from other math tuition centres?
Small group classes, parents kept in the loop on progress, and a curriculum focused on the exact skills MOE examiners test — including how to structure solutions, not just whether the answer is correct.
School Overview
Anderson Primary School was formed in 2000 following the merger of three Ang Mo Kio neighbourhood schools: Ang Mo Kio North Primary, Hong Dao Primary, and Li Hua Primary. Today it serves more than 1,800 pupils as a single-session government primary school located at 19 Ang Mo Kio Avenue 9, Singapore 569785.
The school operates under the values of Passion for Learning, Quest for Excellence, Respect for All, and Service to Community. It was recognised as a School of Character in 2010. Two signature programmes anchor the school's identity: the Applied Learning Programme (ALP), branded Eureka!, which focuses on STEM through Material Science, and the Learning for Life Programme (LLP), branded VIVACE! (Values Inculcation Via Arts and Creative Experiences), which uses music and the performing arts to develop character and creativity.
Eureka! introduces students to hands-on projects in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics from Primary 1 onward, with an emphasis on collaborative problem-solving and real-world application. VIVACE! integrates performing arts into the school's broader values education framework. Together, the two programmes give Anderson Primary a distinctive blend of STEM inquiry and arts-based character development.
Admission Process
Admission to Anderson Primary School at Primary 1 follows the Ministry of Education's standard registration framework, which is conducted online in phases. Parents apply during the phase for which their child qualifies, based on criteria such as sibling enrolment, parent or sibling alumni status, community or church affiliation, and home-to-school distance.
Phase 2C, the open phase available to all Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents, has historically been oversubscribed at Anderson Primary. When applications exceed available places in any phase, admission is determined by balloting, with priority given to children living within 1 km of the school, then within 2 km. Parents can check past vacancy data on the MOE website to gauge demand trends.
Registration is submitted through the MOE P1 Registration Portal. Required documents typically include the child's birth certificate, proof of citizenship or residency, and proof of address. Detailed timelines and eligibility criteria for each phase are published annually on the MOE website.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Anderson Primary follows the national curriculum set by MOE. Core subjects include English Language, Mathematics, Science (from Primary 3), and Mother Tongue Languages — Chinese, Malay, and Tamil, with higher-level options available for each. Additional subjects cover Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. At the upper primary level, students may take subjects at Foundation or Standard levels in English, Mathematics, Science, and Mother Tongue, depending on their individual strengths.
Mathematics instruction at Anderson Primary incorporates games-based learning approaches aimed at building conceptual understanding rather than rote memorisation. Science teaching follows an inquiry-driven model. The Eureka! ALP extends this further by embedding Material Science projects across year levels, giving students opportunities to apply mathematical and scientific reasoning to tangible problems. The school received a Silver Award at the 22nd Elementz Science Project Competition in 2024, and holds the National Arts Education Award (NAEA) Glow Award.
For families seeking additional support in mathematics beyond what the school provides, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned to the primary Mathematics syllabus, which some Anderson Primary parents have found helpful for reinforcing classroom learning.
During PSLE periods, lower primary students participate in Home-Based Learning to allow upper primary students a focused examination environment.

Anderson Primary School's campus includes smart classrooms with interactive technology, a library, and dedicated STEM laboratories for the Eureka! programme equipped with tools such as 3D printers and robotics kits. Outdoor facilities include multipurpose sports fields and a sensory garden.
