Sec 1 Maths
The biggest and most common stumbling-block students face is weak mastery of Negative Numbers and Algebra in the first term of school. As Algebra is a topic repeated in ALL the subsequent topics taught in secondary 1, students with a poor foundation will struggle to keep up with the rest of the topics taught. Hence, it is very important to start the year on the right foot.
Our Secondary 1 Maths Bridging Course is specially designed to help students build a strong foundation in Algebra which is essential to excel in Secondary Math. Students will get a head start before school commences next year by providing a brief introduction to the following topics to ease their transition into a new level.
• Whole Numbers (HCF, LCM & Negative Numbers)
• Algebra (Expansion, Factorization and simplification)
• Ratio and Percentage (involving algebra)
• Number Patterns and Sequence
• Geometry (Angles, Constructions and Polygon)
• Co-ordinate Geometry (Graph and Gradient)
Students will be guided step-by-step in class with summary notes and questions. There will also be a topical diagnostic test at the end of each day to gauge students’ mastery of the topic.
Sec 1 Science
Lower secondary science provides an important foundation for the subject choices of biology, chemistry and physics that are available in upper secondary.
One common challenge seen among students moving from primary to secondary science is the struggle to understand topics learned in secondary school that builds upon the concepts taught in primary school.
This could be due to weak foundation and poor attitude in primary school, or students might have forgotten what had been learned previously.
With this in mind, the Secondary 1 Science Bridging Course gives students a head start before school commences next year by providing a brief introduction to the following topics to ease their transition into a new level.
- Scientific Endeavour
- Physical quantity and Measurements
- Materials and density
- Elements, Compounds and Mixtures
- Separation techniques
Students will be guided step-by-step in class with a booklet consisting of simplified notes and questions. There will also be a mini science quiz at the end of each topic to test for students’ understanding of what was taught.

What our students and their parents say
The teaching methods were very clear, which helped me understand topics better and led me to improve in my math and science a lot. The teachers are also very helpful and approachable. When I need help with something I do not understand, they are always there willing to help. I am very thankful to OLL for helping me improve and do well for my PSLE.
