MORE THAN JUST AN ASSESSMENT BOOK

A published resource for IP Maths preparation

If you have seen “Advanced Mathematics for G3 and IP Students” at Popular Bookstore, it is part of a curriculum resource series co-authored by Ms Yvonne Chen (former Raffles Girls’ School teacher) and Mr Jason Lau (former Head of Department, Mathematics, Hwa Chong Institution). The series is designed to help students build clear understanding and handle the higher-level questions commonly seen in IP Maths assessments.

The series reflects more than 30 years of combined teaching experience. It is published by Singapore Asia Publishers and stocked at Popular Bookstore, so parents and students can review the approach before deciding whether it suits their needs.

What makes this significant?

Publishing with Singapore Asia Publishers means the series has gone through a professional publishing process (editing, layout, and quality checks). For parents, it is also a practical way to see how our teaching team organises explanations and question progression for IP Maths.

Parents can review our approach before enrolling: visit Popular Bookstore, browse the book, and see the style of explanations and worked solutions used across our IP Maths materials.

What Parents & Students Say

After engaging with the lesson notes and assessment questions, she has gained a deeper understanding of the concepts, and is now performing well.

— Parent of IP Student

The worked examples show more than one solution method, which helps me understand different approaches and check my work.

— Sec 3 student, Hwa Chong Institution

I purchased the book at Popular to understand Future Academy’s teaching approach before enrolling. The structure and explanations were clear, and we booked lessons soon after. My daughter now attends Future Academy’s IP Maths classes.

— Parent of RGS Student

The harder questions are genuinely challenging. As a strong Maths student, I appreciate that the book includes questions that stretch my thinking beyond routine practice.

— Sec 4 student, Raffles Institution

We tried two other tuition centres before Future Academy. Buying the book first and seeing the teaching approach made us confident we had found the right fit, so we booked lessons.

— Parent of NYGH Student

QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Frequently Asked Questions

Absolutely! While Ms Chen taught at RGS and Mr Lau at Hwa Chong, the book is designed for IP students from all schools. The mathematical concepts, problem-solving approaches, and question types are relevant across all IP programs. Students from RI, NYGH, ACS(I), SJI, MGS, NJC, VJC, DHS, and other IP schools use this book successfully.

Yes. While specifically designed for IP and G3 students, Express students seeking advanced preparation benefit from the conceptual depth and challenging questions. The graduated difficulty allows Express students to work at appropriate levels while accessing advanced material when ready.

Key differences include: (1) Co-authored by experienced educators with IP school background, (2) Published by Singapore Asia Publishers, (3) Stocked at Popular Bookstore locations, (4) An IP-focused conceptual approach (not generic O-Level content), (5) Question progression that builds fundamentals before moving to higher-level applications.

The book provides structured practice and study notes. However, many IP students benefit from a teacher guiding the process: immediate feedback on mistakes, strategy for higher-level questions, filling conceptual gaps, motivation and accountability, personalised pacing, and peer discussion. Think of the book as strong curriculum materials, and tuition as guided practice using those materials. Together they are most effective.

Yes. You may (1) visit Popular Bookstore to browse the physical book, (2) visit Future Academy to view the book at our centres and ask questions, or (3) contact us via WhatsApp to request sample pages.

Yes. The book is included with a 13-lesson package and integrated into our IP Maths programme. It is a core resource our teaching team uses for lesson examples and homework practice, and students can preview upcoming topics using the study notes.

Choose based on current school level: Sec 1 student – start with Book 1; Sec 2 student – Book 2 (or Book 1 if strengthening foundations); Sec 3 student – Book 3 (or earlier if addressing gaps); Sec 4 student – Book 4 (or the complete series for comprehensive review). Many parents purchase the complete series for their child’s IP journey.

IP schools have curriculum variations, but the book covers core mathematical concepts all IP students need. Our authors’ experience at RGS and Hwa Chong—plus teaching students from all IP schools—ensures comprehensive coverage. If school-specific alignment is critical, our tuition provides that personalization.
