How to Overcome Careless Mistakes in P5 Math

Every parent has heard this before:

“I knew how to do it… I just made a careless mistake!” 😩

In reality, careless mistakes are a symptom of weak checking habits and mental fatigue — both of which can be fixed through proper P5 Math Tuition.

In structured Primary 5 Maths Tuition classes, students are taught:

• To circle keywords in every question

• To double-check units, denominators, and operations

• To perform a “sanity check” — does the answer make sense?

Through repetition and tutor feedback, students internalise this system until it becomes second nature. Once they develop this awareness, their accuracy improves dramatically, and careless mistakes drop like dominoes.

💡 Pro tip: Consistency beats luck. Build strong checking habits through regular, guided P5 Math Tuition practice.
