How DeepThink supports Cedar Primary School students
Lessons follow the MOE Primary Math syllabus exactly — the same topics, heuristics, and model-drawing methods your child uses at Cedar 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 Cedar 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 Cedar 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
Cedar Primary School is a co-educational government primary school formed in 1985 through the consolidation of Cedar Girls' Primary School (originally established in 1957) and Cedar Boys' Primary School. The school moved to its current campus in 2006, providing updated learning facilities for its students.
The school operates under MOE and follows a single-session timetable. Its educational approach centres on the development of values-driven learners through the "Upstanding Leaders" ethos, which emphasises responsibility, empathy, and a commitment to continuous growth. Cedar Primary participates in the Special Assistance Plan (SAP) for mother tongue language education and provides P1 TRANSIT support for students with social and behavioural needs.
The school's vision focuses on nurturing self-directed, engaged learners in a positive and supportive environment.
Admission Process
Admission to Cedar Primary School follows the Ministry of Education's annual Primary 1 Registration Exercise, which is conducted online between July and August each year. The exercise is open to Singapore Citizens and Permanent Residents.
Registration proceeds in phases. Parents apply during the phase that matches their eligibility, based on criteria such as sibling enrolment at the school, parent or sibling connections to the school, and home-to-school distance. Phase 2C is available to children who do not qualify under earlier phases, with priority determined by proximity to the school (within 1 km receiving higher priority, followed by 1 to 2 km). If applications in any phase exceed available places, a ballot is held.
Results are released shortly after each phase closes. Parents should refer to the MOE P1 registration page for the most current schedule, eligibility criteria, and application instructions.
Curriculum and Academic Programme
Cedar Primary School delivers the standard MOE primary curriculum, covering English Language, Mathematics, Science, Mother Tongue Languages (Chinese, Malay, and Tamil), Art, Music, Physical Education, and Social Studies. Foundation and standard levels are available for core subjects to accommodate different learning paces.
The school's Applied Learning Programme (ALP) is centred on Creative and Inventive Thinking (CIT). Through this programme, students learn structured ideation tools such as the CEDAR Idea Generator (adapted from the SCAMPER framework) and ALoU, which they apply to community-based projects that connect classroom learning with practical problem-solving.
The Mathematics department uses a concrete-pictorial-abstract approach, supported by math trails, learning journeys, and digital tools to develop conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills from Primary 1 through Primary 6. Students who demonstrate strong aptitude may be selected to participate in the National Mathematical Olympiad of Singapore (NMOS) at the Primary 5 level.
The Learning for Life Programme (LLP), titled "Upstanding Leaders @ Cedar Primary School," develops leadership qualities through community service projects and sports-based activities, guided by the school's PACE attributes framework.
For families seeking additional support in mathematics beyond school hours, DeepThink is a math tuition centre that offers structured programmes aligned with the MOE primary syllabus, helping students strengthen their conceptual foundation and exam readiness.
