2. Educational Career Guidance

The ecareers.sg primary site is designed to provide primary schools with a tool to facilitate Education and Career Guidance (ECG) for the Primary 5 and 6 students. The overall focus of the site is to promote awareness of careers and to help students develop career search self-efficacy skills. Students can save and track their skills, interests, values, CCAs and achievements in the ePortfolio in the portal, save information about their favourite secondary schools and occupations, and begin to plan their next steps into secondary school and beyond. We strongly encourage parents and students to log into the website to explore educational pathways beyond PSLE.

3. Math E-learning on MonsWorld

MonsWorld is an online Math portal infused with fun games for primary school students. It features

a comprehensive collection of multiple-choice questions, open-ended questions and problems sums

as well as Math Olympiad questions. The MonsGuide function provides step-by-step solutions to

guide students in solving questions they might encounter difficulties in.

Parents can set weekly homework for their children by activating the Schedule Homework function.

The system will personalise a weekly homework based on the learning needs of your child. Students

earn virtual dollars and potions by learning new Math Skills in the portal. To earn extra potions,

students can also compete in the numerous Math Races. The credits earned can be used to release

their favourite monsters and grow their baby monsters to become supreme monsters!
