| Oct 3, 2021 at 15:55 | comment | added | Anonymous | An edited version of a comment I made earlier: Those Additional Mathematics exams look pretty tough for a 16-year-old. Especially the fact that you have to answer all the questions in just 2 1/4 hours. For comparison, here are some Additional Mathematics papers from England in 1979 (note the freedom of choice in questions, as well as the inclusion of mechanics): telescoper.wordpress.com/2019/07/01/… | |

| Oct 2, 2021 at 21:07 | comment | added | Anonymous | @Wasp Some recent textbooks from Marshall Cavendish: "Mathematics Matters Express" Books 1 to 4 (textbooks and workbooks), "Additional Maths 360", "H2 Mathematics: A Comprehensive Guide for A-Level" Volumes 1, 2. The "Express" in the first title refers to the Express stream in secondary school, for the top 60% of students leaving primary school. I suspect that the market for Further Mathematics may be too small for any textbooks to be profitable. | |
| Oct 2, 2021 at 20:40 | comment | added | Anonymous | @Wasp I've found this self-published textbook for H2 Mathematics. In the preface, the author is very critical of the way math is generally taught in Singapore at the 16 to 18 stage. sites.google.com/view/h2mathematicstextbook/home There also seem to be various commercial textbooks for H2 Mathematics, but I haven't found anything for H2 Further Mathematics. | |
| Oct 2, 2021 at 1:26 | comment | added | Anonymous | If you're interested in seeing older books from England (about 1930-1950), you'll find some at knowledge-dojo.com One of the characteristics of the system in Britain is that mechanics has been part of many math syllabi at about age 15-18. (I say "many" because different examining boards have always had slightly different requirements for their various exams.) | |

| Oct 2, 2021 at 1:19 | comment | added | Anonymous | I found this paper from the mid-2000s about math education in Singapore: tatagyes.files.wordpress.com/2007/10/kaur_paper.pdf So I'm correcting some mistakes in my answer. | |
| Oct 1, 2021 at 21:09 | comment | added | Wasp | Thank you! This is exactly what I needed! Very helpful. I will look into all of that you have mentioned. | |
