Q: What does O-Level Math Syllabus: 2026/27 Parent-&-Student Guide cover?
A: A one-page evergreen reference to Singapore's GCE O-Level Elementary & Additional Math syllabuses-paper structure, topic map, assessment objectives.
TL;DR
Two written papers test Mathematics (4052) and two written papers test Additional Mathematics (4049).
Mathematics 4052 is organised into three strands (Number & Algebra, Geometry & Measurement, Statistics & Probability), while Additional Mathematics 4049 adds deeper algebra, functions, and calculus.
Master the topic sequence, formulae/calculator rules, and exam pacing early; these skills transfer directly to IP Year-3 binomial, surds and sigma notation.
