Q: Is there an official IP Maths syllabus in Singapore?
A: There isn’t one national “IP Maths syllabus”. Each IP school designs its own Maths curriculum, so the practical move is to map your school’s scope to (1) the SEAB O-Level syllabus baseline and (2) your child’s eventual endpoint (A-Levels / IB / NUS High Diploma).
TL;DR (for parents + students)
IP Maths syllabi vary by school, but the high-level pattern is consistent: foundations are secured early, and reasoning/problem-solving shows up sooner.
