A-Level Mathematics Classes in Singapore: H1 vs H2 –
What You Need to Know
By Kiya Learning – Your Partner in
A-Level Success
Mathematics is one of the most
popular and important subjects at the A-Level in Singapore.
Whether you're planning to pursue a degree in engineering, business, economics,
or the sciences, taking A-Level Maths can significantly strengthen your
academic foundation and university prospects.
But as you enter Junior College
(JC), one of the first decisions you’ll face is whether to take H1 or H2
Mathematics. What are the key differences between them? Which one suits
your academic path? And how can you best prepare to succeed?
At Kiya Learning, we offer
specialised A-Level
Mathematics classes designed to help you master both H1 and H2 Maths —
whether you’re building a solid foundation or aiming for top distinction.
Let’s dive into the details!
🎓
Understanding H1 and H2 Mathematics
In the A-Level curriculum
under Singapore's MOE system, students can choose from subjects offered at three
levels – H1 (Higher 1), H2 (Higher 2), and H3 (Higher 3).
Mathematics is available in H1 and
H2, and your choice depends on your subject combination, interest, and future
academic goals.

Curriculum Content Overview
📘
H1 Mathematics Curriculum:
H1 Math focuses more on real-world
application and less on theoretical rigor. It’s designed for students who
need a basic understanding of mathematical methods, especially those
taking subjects like Biology, Chemistry, or Economics without needing full H2
Math.
Key
Topics:
- Functions and Graphs
- Calculus (Differentiation and Integration)
- Probability and Statistics
- Applications in real-world contexts (e.g., data
analysis, rate of change)
👉 Tip: H1 Math requires
understanding concepts clearly and applying them to real scenarios. Kiya
Learning provides targeted practice questions that mimic actual exam formats.
📗
H2 Mathematics Curriculum:
H2 Mathematics is comprehensive and
designed for students pursuing courses where strong mathematical reasoning
and analytical skills are required.
It builds upon O-Level Additional
Mathematics and covers more advanced content.
Key
Topics:
Pure Mathematics:
- Functions and Graphs
- Sequences and Series
- Vectors
- Complex Numbers
- Calculus (Differentiation and Integration in depth)
Probability and Statistics:
- Permutations and Combinations
- Probability Distributions
- Hypothesis Testing
- Sampling and Regression
👉 Tip: H2 Math is
intensive — success requires consistent practice and clear understanding. At
Kiya Learning, we use worked examples, exam-style questions, and step-by-step
tutorials to ensure mastery.
📈
Which One Should You Choose? H1 or H2?
Here are some factors to consider:
✅
Choose H2 Mathematics if:
- You’re taking Physics or Chemistry at H2 level
- You plan to pursue engineering, math, computing,
economics, finance, or science-related degrees
- You scored well in O-Level
Additional Math
✅
Choose H1 Mathematics if:
- You want a basic understanding of math concepts
- You're planning to pursue arts, humanities, social
sciences, or biology-related degrees
- You struggled with O-Level Math and prefer less
math-heavy content
Still unsure? Our team at Kiya
Learning offers academic consultations to help you choose based on your
career goals and strengths.
