Challenges in Maths Reasoning and Problem-solving
In the real world, mathematics is used to reason, plan and solve problems. But for many students, problem solving remains difficult and a mystery. This can change if the processes and strategies for solving problems are made explicit and are taught well.
Problem Solving and Reasoning are often neglected in school as teachers are too busy focusing on the Understanding and Fluency strands to have the time to explore the power of mathematics as a thinking and problem solving tool.
Some main hurdles to proficient problem solving and reasoning are:
- Weak Retrieval of Knowledge
- Difficulty to Start
- Cognitive Overloading
- Lack of Clarity
- Lack of Persistence
- Low Confidence
- Fear of Failure

Maths Reasoning and Problem-solving Skills Bootcamp
About
Join Aussin Tutoring’s Maths Reasoning and Problem-Solving Skills Bootcamp!
Our weekly intensive coaching lessons are deliberately designed to build our students’ skills, speed and confidence which are needed to achieve high-performance in Problem-solving and Mathematical Reasoning.
Specifically, this program is tailored to develop student’s mathematical reasoning and problem-solving skills needed for academic success and focused on developing strategic thinking, accuracy, and speed across key areas like algebra, geometry, and data analysis in mathematics.
Key Solutions
- Focus on logical thinking: The core goal is to train students to analyze problems, use logic to find solutions, and explain their reasoning, bridging the gap between calculation and problem-solving.
- Strategic problem-solving: We teach students how to identify the right mental model for a problem and apply the most efficient strategy.
- Building confidence and speed: By practicing and internalizing reasoning frameworks, students gain confidence and develop the pace needed for high performance in exams.
Key Strategies
- Drawing a sketch, graph or table.
- Acting out situations, or using concrete materials.
- Organising a list.
- Identifying a pattern and extending it.
- Guessing and checking.
- Working backwards.
- Using simpler numbers to solve the problem, then applying the same methodology to the real problem.
- Writing a number sentence.
- Using logic and clues.

Master of Engineering in Mechanical Engineering (NTU in Singapore)
20+ years Expert Coaching and Training Experience.
I love nothing more than to see a student realise that they are able to do their work… and even enjoy it! I love coaching because it gives me a chance to use the skills I have to help children meet their own goals, and to get excited about their options for life after school.
Before I founded Aussin Tutoring in 2014, I had worked in different roles such as
- Senior Business Analyst with City of Waneroo, Western Australia
- Senior Business Consultant & Senior Sales and Marketing Manager with Siemens Asia Pacific (China, Japan, Korea, India, Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand),
I had worked extensively with top training institutes worldwide in the USA, Singapore, China and Australia for more than 20 years.
I hold a Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (NTU in Singapore) and a Master's degree in Computer Science (GSU in the USA).
I am passionate about education and believe that teaching is the best job in the world! It is a great experience to witness a learner grasp something for the first time. I aim to equip students with the knowledge and tools they need to develop confidence and thrive.

"I would like to thank Aussin Coaching and Tutoring Academy for the difference it has made in my son's life. Kamron always approached maths with an ‘It’s too hard’ attitude. Since attending the classes Kamron is more confident in his approach. This is evident in his midterm results and his whole approach to learning. I would strongly recommend Adam and his team to my family and friends. You've done a great job!"
