Why fractions shouldn't be scary.

Polly

"Ms Tabby, why is it that my child used to love Math, but now they see a Fraction question and just... freeze?"

— Polly (A Curious Parent)

Tabby

"It's a great question, Polly. Fractions aren't just one topic—they're a chain. Each level, from P2 to PSLE, builds on the one before it."

"Often, the P5 struggle isn't about P5 fractions at all. It's usually a tiny gap from P3 that has finally become visible. Once we find that missing link, the 'freeze' disappears and the logic takes over."

— Ms Tabby (The Educator)

This guide maps the entire chain, so you can see exactly where your child is, and reclaim their math confidence level by level.

The LEAP approach

Logic, Equation, Application, Pattern — logic-first clarity for every child.

Is this for you?

This guide is for you if your child feels like fractions are a big wall they just can't climb, if they're getting confused by endless 'short cuts' and rules, or if they've simply lost their math spark along the way.

It isn’t about memory work or drilling more sums. It’s about Logic First—the kind of understanding that makes the next topic feel like a natural next step, rather than a whole new set of rules to memorize.

The Philosophy

At Ms Tabby's Math, we watch children reclaim their confidence from the very first lesson. This transformation almost never comes from simply doing 'more' of what isn’t working.

It comes from scaling the hurdles that once felt like walls by leading with logic. That’s why I created this guide—to show you exactly how to spot and clear those hurdles together.

Experience & Credentials

Ms Tabby's Math is founded by Ms Tabby, a former MOE Year Head & Head of Department with experience at MOE HQ. Having seen first-hand how the right foundation changes everything, her mission is to help every child love math by making it make sense.
