Strengthen MATHEMATICS FOR UPPER SECONDARY LEVELS is designed with the purpose of assisting students in their preparation for important school and state examinations. Students requiring revision of the concepts covered in earlier years of Secondary school would also find this guide useful. Teachers and tutors too could use this to develop a well-paced study program based on the sequence, coverage and the suggested prerequisites for the various topics.

Based on the latest syllabus, Strengthen MATHEMATICS FOR UPPER SECONDARY LEVELS is organised into 28 topics, with the sequence aligned as closely as possible to that generally followed by the schools. Each topic starts with the essential pre-requisite skills to be acquired in order that students could have a better grasp of the concepts covered. The topic is then broken down into sub-topics for a more comprehensive coverage. A topic would have its fundamental methodologies clarified with detailed steps and examples. Where appropriate, steps in the examples are further explained in greater detail. Some questions are arranged to stretch the students’ academic abilities by including skills relevant to other topics.

Detailed answers are provided for all questions and where necessary, there are explanations on how the steps are linked. Students are to focus on how to approach questions and acquiring a certain skill rather than merely getting the correct answers for the questions.
