Q: What does IP Math Year-by-Year Roadmap and 12-Week Grade-Jump Plan cover?
A: Use the IP Maths hub network to plan every term-from lower-sec foundations to upper-sec acceleration and the final 12-week grade-jump sprint.

Looking for the “IP maths syllabus”?
Start with our IP Maths scope map + verification checklist (and translate school labels like Math 1/2):
https://eclatinstitute.sg/blog/ip-maths-tuition/IP-Maths-Syllabus-Singapore-2026-Guide
and https://eclatinstitute.sg/blog/ip-maths-tuition/IP-Maths-Names-Explained-Singapore-2026.

The core idea is simple: Build IP Maths by year: lower-sec foundations, upper-sec acceleration, then targeted exam repair.

Use it as a working check: Do not revise randomly. Match each term to the right hub, track errors, and use the 12-week sprint only after the foundations and weak topics are visible.

Then go one layer deeper: Use this roadmap as a planning board: pick your year, choose the matching notes hub, set one checkpoint per week, and convert every mistake into a next-drill item.

Singapore's Integrated Programme (IP) is a six-year course that skips the Secondary 4 O-Level examination, letting schools sequence upper-secondary content more tightly (MOE Integrated Programme overview). Schools such as ACS (Independent) extend Core Mathematics with Advanced Mathematics modules-covering partial fractions, binomial theorem, and introductory calculus-from Year 3 onwards to bridge toward JC expectations (ACS (Independent) IP course outlines). This roadmap stitches together the dedicated notes hubs and our study-playbook articles so every revision block points back to a concrete resource, worked example set, or practice drill.

This roadmap aligns with MOE Integrated Programme (6-year) structure and typical IP Maths scope mapped against SEAB O-Level Mathematics (4052, exams from 2026) and Additional Mathematics (4049) where schools reuse topics before JC.

Status: MOE IP overview + SEAB O-Level Mathematics 4052 (exams from 2026) and Additional Mathematics 4049 syllabi checked 2025-11-30 - scope unchanged; sequencing varies by school handbook.

Lower-sec launchpad - Start with the structured sequence inside IP Maths Lower Sec Notes (posts 00–10) so Year 1-2 habits form around consistent worked examples and Try-It-Yourself drills.
