Top 5 Mistakes P5 Students Make in Fractions
Fractions — the sneaky villain of P5 Math. 🍰 Many students stumble not because it’s hard, but because they mix up concepts.
Here are the top 5 mistakes seen by top P5 Math Tuition centres:
Adding fractions with different denominators without converting.
Forgetting to simplify answers.
Mixing up “part-whole” vs “part-part” problems.
Not converting mixed numbers properly.
Forgetting to label final answers with correct units.
In Primary 5 Maths Tuition classes, students are trained to slow down, think logically, and check work systematically — all crucial habits for PSLE success.
🎯 Tip: Fractions are 100% conquerable when you master the logic behind the steps.
